Someone told me that if you just shoot the crap out of these things, they will stop harassing my protein feeders...we do, and It isn't working.

and or other entertaining opportunity. |
Oh yes, we entertain ourselves and others here on the ranch, at their expense. I just marvel at the drubbing they take from us, using NVD's suppressors and thermal, and yet they keep coming back. These little bastards are amazing.....tough. If they ever shot back, we would lose

Just keep some of the big ones around for my next trip out there... I need a good euro mount  Indeed we will. Those little ones you see, have grown from guinea pig size to just about 60 lbs in just 2 months.. We have been seeing some huge boars at the feeders, too, but they are there at 3 and 4 O'clock in the AM. |

If you do not want them eating your deer feed, put a fence around the feeder. We used hog fence panels cut in half length wise, and metal "T" posts. Make the circle big enough that the deer do not run into the feeder when they jump it. We put the cut side down so the fawns would not cut their bellies when they jumped it, we also got some cheap dollar general white spray paint, and painted the top wire to make it easier to see, until thy got used to the fence.
I thought that the hogs would push it over, but they never did. |

I already figured out ways to keep them away from it, about 10 years ago. I don't need fencing at all. I was just kidding about them eating the "deer food," and NO we DO NOT WANT ANY MORE NUMBERS. We are already so overpopulated that these things are causing mass destruction, and killing them is as much a necessity as it is for food, fun and sport. The cost of rebuilding roads on the ranch every single year, is astronomical. the cost of feeding corn and protein year-round, is also pretty high.

Here's a true "pig-proof" feeder. They can eat what falls on the ground, but nothing, except deer can get to the chutes, whereas the spinner feeder in the river bottom is designed for shooting hogs at night:

| nice feeders––for the deer. anyway you could feed the pigs with the spinning feeders loaded with cheap feed and keep the the high protein feed in the "pig proof " ones. maybe help you keep them seperated also. meaning feed deer in certian areas and the pigs in others. i know in alabama most of the time the deer will stay away from feed and areas the pigs are in ? just an good ole boys opinion. good luck sir ... |

I am starting to do this too. Some old local Hickory Nut told me to do this and have moved my feeder away from the planted food plot. |
