I recently got permission to hunt a property that is said to have wild hogs on it. With some scouting this weekend, we found numerous signs from a bit of dried mud on a tree near a water hole (hog rub), bedding areas, well worn trails, tracks and an old wallow. The tracks are fresh, as it rained last weekend enough to wash out any previous tracks. I have permission to hunt this property in any way the game laws allow (pretty much wide open on hogs for private property) and want to draw some hogs into an area where we can set up a stand and/or blind.
I just ordered an American Hunter 50 lb. hanging feeder from Sportsman's Guide and plan to set it up with my trail camera to see what we can get to come in. We did set up a rolling pipe feeder, but I feel like the timed feeder may be more effective...
Anyone have experience with the American Hunter feeders? Any other feeder suggestions? Any good feeder timers that I should keep an eye out for? I've never used a powered feeder, so this is new territory for me.
Thanks for any suggestions...
