    So last year I had about 7 bucks on my trail camera.. This year(only 2 weeks) I have seen 0.. I saw one in person.. But they aren't coming to the feeder.. I had hogs come in big groups last year.. bunch of small ones.. but they only came 3-5 times all year.. This year.. At least 1.. mainly 3-6 come every single night. This time last year I saw 6-10 deer per day.. In the last 2 weeks Ive only seen 3 deer.. Do you think its because of the hogs coming so often? I want them gone. Do yall know how to call them in or is there anything I can put out there where they will smell it and come in? I want to kill the 2 big ones before gun season... How big do yall think those big ones are?

    Put up a fence of either bull panel or hog wire around your feeder and you will start seeing more deer. They don't like it when hogs are around the feeder.

    Oh and shoot some hogs!!:biggun:

    Cant you hunt hogs during the night? I thought they just passed that law. If so put up a motion light or a spot light and wait for them at the feeder!!!!

    Fence it! Kill hogs! Problem solved. The fence alone would probably fix it.

    Put a sturdy boundary fence around the feeder. Deer can easily jump in, it'll only keep the hogs out.

    In your case I'd go out and fill my freezer with pork, tastes better than venison anyway!

    Next year start early and build a trap for the hogs and get them before deer season comes in. Sometimes you can catch several hogs at one time. More meat for the freezer.:D

    Deer can jump the fence. We have them around 2 of our feeders and it does wonders barely ever get pics of hogs and the ones I do get are at night.

    Try this on your Bow if you can hunt at night and you can do some damage to those hogs. you flip on the switch and they won't run. I shot three in one night using this it is awesome.

    Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I think we're getting pretty close though. How north in KY are they?

    Trust me, you don't want hogs.. They knock over your feeders... Tear up your food plots.. and scare the deer away!
