[QUOTE="Texas Speed Bump, post: 3027622, member: 115057"] I agree with everyone who says hogs sometimes seem to have a sixth sense about when you're in the blind. We shot quite a few this last season but game cams clearly showed them consistently coming in soon after we'd leave the blind. What I've found that helps the most is to plan on shooting after dark/before sunrise and you don't need expensive 'slow illumination green lights' to do it. This past season I bought several solar-powered, motion-activated spotlights ([URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKL6ZFXK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1[/URL]) and mounted them on my and my wife's feeders. I have hundreds of pictures of hundreds of hogs eating corn under these lights, which stay on the dim setting then get brighter when triggered by motion. After a day or two, the wildlife doesn't even notice them. My blind is 100 yds off and I have no trouble seeing the pigs clearly at night under those lights with my Leupold optics. If you need more light, mount a light on your rifle. I have this ([URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NPFWW68/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL]) 1000 lumen light on my LR-308 and it's incredible. It comes with four different bulbs that allow you to illuminate past 100 yds with white, green, red or IR. Another thing that will keep the hogs in one place for hours is a 'hog barrel'. See my previous post on how to build them. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/hog-barrels.278460/#post-2272347[/URL]. We have pictures over the years of sounder after sounder molesting these hog barrels all night long. Even some pics of the big boars humping the barrels. Good luck ! [/QUOTE]
