[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2005050, member: 2736"] I have 6 feeders, 4 have pens (The hogs cant get to the corn ) and 2 that Don't have feed pens. These two feeders only feed at daylight or at 2 PM. What we have found is they will stake out the feeder before it feeds and keep deer away until it goes off. then they will rush in and eat as fast as they can. for sport (And meat) we will wait until more than one line up and take several with one shot, (Good strong bullet are recommended for this) after shooting them they do get feeder shy and won't come back for a short time, but the corn will call them back for some more chances at a shot. The old sows are the smartest and after a while they will hang back (Like the bigger bucks) and sacrifice there younger relatives. We primarily hunt them for meat, so we look for the best choice for table fair, but if a big bore comes along, it is his bad luck. The early evening feeding will allow our deer to feed if the hogs won't expose themselves before dark and pressure them into trying their luck when we can hunt. we also found out that by hanging a couple of pieces of aluminum 3 x 6" where the corn will strike it and make a sound that can be heard from a distance they will come running when it goes off (It's like a dinner bell). Hope some of the tips help.:) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
