I threw this out before and never got an answer. I bought a couple of bags of hog wild powder in a bag and was wondering if yall thought it would gum up my feeders spinner if I mixed it in with the corn I'm lookin to attract hogs not deer

Nacho I wouln't try it, with all the rain and high humity lately I think it would absorb moisture and clog up and not allow it to feed out. I would try mixing a batch and put it in a bump feeder or just a pile on the ground. It would suck to come back after 2 weeks and find a your feeder full of moldy corn.

yeah, was worried about that. I'm thinkin of just digging a hole and putting in about 100lbs of corn and the hog wild, in the opposite direction of my current feeder and hunting in between. just a little warm for digging holes right now

I hunt feeders, food plots, game trails and food sources. I think feeders and plots are great for does and young bucks. I get a little more enjoyment out of scouting and setting up in a good spot and having the deer come in just how I thought they would. ( Not that it happens too often )

I try to find food and bedding areas and set up from there if I can. Feeders are great for cams to get an idea of what's in the area. I do find that mature bucks seem to come after dark though. I don't care how anyone hunts as long as it's legal.
