[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1792274, member: 2736"] From what I have seen it can help in some areas but is devastating in other areas. We set up 2 designated hog feeders with no hog panels/pens to keep them out. this has worked well and the hogs pass on the pens that they cant get in and frequent the designated ones. we set the feeder timers foe early in the morning just after daylight so they have to come during the day when we can hunt them and pick the ones we want. If the feeders go late in the evening, they wait until after dark when they are comfortable and that may be any time during the night. This doesn't/didn't seem to effect the deer hunting before the helicopter hunting because the deer had their own feeders and weren't bothered by the hogs We leave these feeders alone until we want to hog hunt and this way they get comfortable. It seems like we kill more hogs this way per year. yes it cost a little in corn, but we can kill nice eating hogs when we want and if we see the boars or sows old enough we can thin the population with a few shots. We had roughly 2 or 3 sounders on the place and they were kept to 6 to 10 hogs with this method. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
