[QUOTE="Homebrewer, post: 2505967, member: 111626"] Double Naught... Excellent info, driven by your long experience whackin' the piggies. Always enjoy your hog hunting vids. A couple things that have helped me... Cellular trail cameras: - Real time data on hog visits to my feeders. - Date, time, temperature, and number/size of hogs. - Eliminate leaving human scent in the area while reviewing SD card type cameras. - No fuel expense or time to physically check camera data. Hog roll barrels: - As you stated above - Alpha hog (our #1 target) will dominate use of the barrel. - Need to reinforce the chain/cable size/swivel attachment to t-posts. And still expect breakage. - If using plastic water barrels for your roll barrel, attach heavy gauge metal plate over the holes in barrel. Otherwise, the raccoons will chew out the holes to get at the corn. 2 to 3 half inch size holes are sufficient to keep them interested. - Add a handfull or two of rocks about golfball size to the barrel. The hogs will hear the rocks rolling inside, keeps them playing with the barrel after the corn runs out. Low cost attractant: - The sour corn post hole, as you already discussed. - Used, rancid cooking oil. Don't dispose of used peanut oil after deep frying turkey. Dump used oil around and in the sour corn hole. They will dig to get all of it, and takes more time - keeping them in the area... [/QUOTE]
