[QUOTE="Brett Bracken, post: 2094463, member: 106232"] I'm kinduv late to this party but thought I'd comment. Hog hunting is not rocket science. I have 3 feeders on my property (250 acres) set to go off one hour before sunset and one hour after sunrise. I also have other bait holes that I bait, with corn, when I'm on the property. Game cams are very helpful in that you learn very quickly that hogs cannot be patterned like deer. A group may come in to one feeder around the same time for a few nights and then for whatever reason come in at a completely different time or just move off....only to return a week later. Pigs are where they are when they are there. Don't worry about too many feeders or how close they are...of course you don't want to put them right on top of each other. It's nothing unusual to have hogs at all 3 of my feeders at the same time.....and have a hog or 2 at one of my other bait holes. Hogs are gluttons and opportunistic. They have a very hard time resisting food. Yes....the bigger sows and boars get fairly cagey but eventually they come around. You just have to be at the right place at the right time. As far as covering your tracks with diesel or washing the blood away.......sorry....but that is not necessary. I have a set-up on my ranch where I shoot from my porch down a long sendero (830 yds). I have 2 spots that are lighted up with solar powered lights (very bright white lights)...one at 454 yds and the other at 830 yds. I shot the 2 hogs in the first picture 45 mins apart. The one at the top was shot at 8:30 at night and the other was shot at 9:15. Other dead pigs, blood or whatever...doesn't matter. The worst thing you can do is immediately go our and recover a hog. All that does is make noise and spread your scent around the place. The 3 hogs in the second picture were all shot on the same night. The 2 bigger hogs were shot about an hour and a half apart at 454 yds and then about another 2 hours later I shot the little hog at 830 yds. Picked up all 3 the next morning with my tractor. Then I shot the hog in the 3 picture the following night at 454 yds again. My point is don't over think it. Put some corn out, the more the better where ever you want., be patient and have fun.
