You reminded I need to do this to one of mine but just lay a cattle panel down under the feeder and set a couple legs on it. It makes it where the hogs can't dig under the feeder and they can't turn your feeder over with the legs stuck in the panel. Once it is down cover it back up with dirt. won't happen again.

Pigs love the puddle under one of our feeders. I have seen 12 at a time just laying in it like a mud bath. My wife won't let me do anything with it, see calls it her "piggy puddle". It seems like every time she shoots a pig, it kicks around enough the flop over into the puddle, then I get to wade into the mud and the blood and get it out.
