After a lot of scouting and listening to all the rules and little game I chose a lease just north of Panama City. We have all the game, 12 members about 100 acres each. There are hogs (no dogs) and they also trap them and bring to our 1400 acres to be released.
My question is how do I make the hogs want to be on my 100 acres more than the others or at least passing through on a regular basis?
There are 3-5 bears and that limits a roll barrel as they would tear that up and I do not want to attract the bears. At the end of my shooting lane 100 yds from the shooting house there is a swampy area that deer and I assume hogs use to travel. I will make stink corn and bury it as described by some, anything else? especially easy and quick things? Thank for any advice. Frank
just by big bags of cracked corn and throw it from time to time
Not really practical as I am 1 1/2 hrs from the lease, I will do it when I am there but want ideas that are done and left alone for a longer term, a week to a month. Thanks, Frank
Find 2 bigger pine trees that are fairly close together. Take your tree climber and climb up about 25', and tie a rope to each pine tree, and string a feeder in the rope with a pulley, and tie it off somewhere. Then get 4 rolls of cheap roof flashing and aluminum nails(the cheap flashing is about $6/roll at HD/lowes). Put 2 rolls on each tree that has the rope tied to it.Start about 2' off the ground, and run the flashing up, 2 rolls per tree. The bottom of your feeder motor needs to be at least 9' off the ground when full(it will get higher as the feeder empties)
Use a feeder motor that will sling corn really far as opposed to just dropping it down. Moultrie's are cheap, but they sling the hell out of it. Bears do not like to work for their food. If the corn is scattered real thin, they may pass thru and eat a few bites but not camp out under the feeder. Every time you go up, scatter a bag of corn down your pine row, but once again scatter it thin as hell.
Also get a 4x4 or a landscape timber, and sink it 3' in the ground with a bag of quickcrete. Wrap a piece of carpet or burlap around it and soak it in used motor oil
OH yes I do want Hogs! would rather eat pork than venison! But then that is just me...I would not pay for a lease without a hog population..which is not that hard in Fl or TX, seems most have them.
Thanks Iluvtohunt, have that all set up for the deer feeder already, think that is all i will need for the hogs too? , just need to buy one now.
