What you need is one of those new feeder drones. That'll do the trick.

^^^^this x1000, well worth the money, have two cousins that swear by'em, i'll be picking one or two up this summer.

Winner.

What is a feeder drone? Not sure I'm familiar with that…

I like the air rifle and slingshot ideas, though. I'll try that.

I think y'all are right on the money, though, with shooting them. It definitely did keep them at bay when we were hammering them back before deer season. And I'd rather take one down and risk ruining the hunt, than let them keep on keepin' on, and have them for sure ruin my hunt.

lol

Feeder Drones are the new rage

Shoot as many of the pigs as you can!!!!! Heavier the lead the better....

Shoot em. I've had deer still come to the feeder after dropping a big pig.

lmao!

Around here if you see a hog you're pretty much obligated to shoot it. We need to kill as many as we possibly can according to TPWD in order to keep the population where it is we need to kill 7 out of every 10 hogs that we already have, and the odds of killing that many is slim to none.

After shooting two in October almost in the same spot under my feeder, hogs didn't hang around much after that during the day, and went nocturnal. I will start shooting at night this weekend until they adjust to the white light, then I'll change to my green or red light! Wild hogs are not as stupid as some people think!

really? we shot a hog this year and within 10 minutes the entire sounder was right back at the feeder. would have taken another but the one we shot "miraculously" recovered so we had to finish the job on her.

Not always true. At our place if you want 2 hogs you shoot one leave it lay and wait 15-30 minutes and they will show back up and you can take another. I have watched them eat corn right by their dead buddies.

We have half our feeders with pens and half without. If you pen everything then you really do battle with the hogs. Gotta give them something or they will find a way to take it.

I am going to try and use a laser pointer to see if it works, sounds interesting. I do use a sling shot on cows when bow hunting, with the land owners permission too.
Our deer scatter to the wind when they hear a shot and wont come back for 30 minutes at least.
If there is still 30-60 minutes of hunting left and hogs show up, to shoot one will end the deer hunt, leaving them is no better, running them off may give you a chance.
I will shoot the hogs when I see them. If I wait for deer to show up, what I get is the same group of hogs coming back, I just keep shooting.

I think this guy has it figured out. You should try this. I bet it will work.

Let me know if the laser pointer works. The slingshot sounds like a winner, too. I'll have to practice, though, if I'm going to lob something at them from 120 yards away!

I've used my green laser before on accident. It has a pressure switch and nothing likes it. Every deer, hog, coon, coyote, or bird has run when I put the laser on em. But deer seem to see it more easily than anything else. And they hate it...

^^This^^ My experience is alot of the time shooting one will move the sounder on but other times if you stay in your stand the others may come back in 15-30 minutes.
