    Hey guys I hunt out in East Texas where the hogs run wild. I've set out deer cane blocks and the deer love them but once the hogs find em they end up taking over. Does anyone have any suggestions to keeping a mineral sight without having the hogs take over and push the deer out?

    Hey man have you tried trophy rock or bio rock? We put them out last year with great success. I am also in East tx and have problems with hogs and they never messed with them. Had a couple come through on camera but they didnt mess with the rock. But if you have anything sweet smelling chances are the hogs are going to find it and stick around.

    Build a table tall enough that the deer can reach it easily and hogs can't turn over. It might take them awhile to get used to it but the hogs won't be able to get to it.

    hey man I checked my camera on my one trophy rock... it has been out a month and had 288 pics and videos and no hogs. Here are some of the early pictures. I will go look at the bio rock camera next weekend. Didn't go in that area today.
