I hung a small feeder up at the small farm I hunt in August. I have the timer set for 1/2 hr before and right at sunset. The farm has several sounders visiting and have been doing damage under the oak and pecan trees. But....mostly random hours. Rarely at dusk, often 2-3 hours after sunset, then at all hours of the night. Most consistent was 730 -830 at night. Having said that last 4 nights I've waited and nothing. (Missed too late by 12 min one night and left 5 min too soon another.) I'm fairly certain they're not currently living close, which is why I'm not seeing them right at dark. Also know they are grocery-heavy now and plenty to choose from. Otherwise, any other thoughts, ideas, suggestions? I'm up to about 20 sets without a sighting.

They aren’t coming to my feeders right now either, at least not on a predictable day and time. But, I did drill one last evening that was rooting around the ground under an oak tree that has acorns. Second one on that tree recently.

Then you are obviously hunting the wrong place and/or at the wrong time.

Not really sure about your situation, but if you have thermal and put in the hours. It is very rare to leave with out a kill

Yah I think there are a bunch of factors at play. One of them being spoiled with regularity without a ton of effort. I don't have a thermal nor do I have a bunch of different spots to hunt. I did reset the feeder to go off earlier to capture the interest of those that have come by before sunset. I honestly don't think they've been around when the feeder goes off, thus arent associating the sound with food yet. In the end I'm a victim of my own success. It's a very small farm and when I first started hunting it the hogs were living on property. I've probably gone through 4 Sounders now, some completely, and there have been no replacements, just nomads more or less.
