    Hey guys,

    I was trying to see for those who have hog problems on your hunting lands. When it comes to supplemental feeding such as your protein feeders or timed dispensed feeders, how big are you making the fences to keep hogs out? 30-40' in diamater? I want to do a fence about 30 inches high @ 30' in diameter around my gravity fed protein feeder. Also, the deer in my area are not used to jumping fences to eat... so what tricks do you guys recommend to get them to feel comfortable to jump in??

    do you do the "shark teeth" to deter the animals from climbing on the legs? I had someone tell me that it only helped the coons once they installed it on their feeder legs lol!

    Yeah I did that then they started stacking on each other to get to the plate. Once one got up there he chucked out stuff to the others. Squirrels don't care they just jump. It was an effort in futility.
