How are you guys making your hog tubes?

That's too many holes in that one.

I use 4" pvc

I make it 4' long. On the end that you're going to permanently cap, I cut a piece of 2x4 round to fit inside the pvc fairly well, then screw it in place about 10" from the end. I fill that with a handful of pebbles and then put the cap on it.

Put the removable cap on the other end, with the threaded cap. On the cap that threads in, put your eye-bolt and swivel. Drill 4 holes about 1/2" in it, total. I stagger them so that a there's always one facing down.

That's how mine are built, with about 5' of cable hung over a t-post.

The hogs have stayed around for a couple of hours after the pipe is empty. I don't know that the pebbles cause this, but that's what I assume, because it still makes noise.

Possum, I just learned something. Thanks. Pebbles....who'd a thunk it....

I used one similar to the one in the picture but with only two holes in it. Still had to refill it every two or three days. Ditched that idea and made a pig barrel out of a 35 gallon plastic drum. Would hold a complete bag of corn. A refill would last a couple weeks.

This... ^^^^

Apparently with inadequate swivels because they broke both of mine.

Take water or coke bottles that will fit inside your tube and fill them with corn, leave the lids off and drop them in as you fill the tube. The bottles will continue to dribble corn long after the rest of the tube is empty. This is really handy for property that you don't visit often.

my eye bolts busted out of both of my end caps on mine. I need to find another solution for that.

are you using fender washers on the eye bolt on the inside? also double nutting on the end of the eye bolt and leaving it loose to move will also help.
