[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 2005037, member: 69799"] How far are your feeders from one another? When I lived in SC and ran 6 sites over 2 counties, I staggered the programed feed times amongst the feeders. I had a pattern I'd follow in terms of the sequence of feeders visited. I'd set the feeder to drop for 5 seconds. I set the first feeder to go off at 8:00, the second at 8:45, and the others at 45 minute intervals. None of the sites were too far from one another, so 45 minutes between feedings was enough. In my situation, if they didn't come out shortly after the corn dropped, they usually didn't show. I could get through all six locations by 12:30/12:45ish, so I would go back to the first feeder for a 1:00am feed. Sites 2 through 6 followed in 45 minute intervals. Since you just have 2 feeders, I think you run the risk of running them off if you hunt them too hard. Corn is relatively cheap, so I wouldn't be stingy with it. I'd take the lead sow out. The piglets are dumb enough to keep coming back out for the corn so you shouldn't have too much trouble getting them. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
