This one lasted me around 5 years and wasn't terribly expensive. I think Swine and Tines builds one similiar that I have now. Works really well.

Id say it was fairly sensitive. The solar panel keeps the battery charged just fine and I never had an issue with it. With this unit it comes on very gradually and is a mixture of green and red lights. Pretty cool to look out across the pasture and know its time to grab the rifle and go pop a pig or two.

Your not gonna thin anything out with feeder lights. If your having hog issues pen your feeders and problem is solved.  but, but, but, seen on here, hogs can climb pens... just gotta keep the pressure on em every chance ya get... lights on feeder tis cheaper than the NV, Thermal... have my AR rigged tactical (mildot) scope over green lazer under with cellular (solar charged, come on @ dark), lights around feeder.. best wish's.

: I've had it happen more time than I care to remember...even with 60" high panels. But trapping is still worthwhile. MANY hogs will attempt to jump out....so you need to have a sturdy trap. Others will attempt to climb the panels, some make it, some don't. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/10/full-56101-315514-hog_hung.jpg)

I personally like the Slo Glow Lights from TX...made well and maintenance free. Mine work great and allow me to stalk pretty close when you approach from behind the light. A shotgun is all that is needed...multi kills with 12 GA 00 buckshot See their web site: https://slowglow.com
A minute spent outdoors is so much more valuable than a day spent online!

Of course, nobody has ever trapped their way out of a hog problem, either on a low fence property, either. Not true. I manage my feral hog numbers with traps, minimizing the damage to my pastures, very effectively. I routinely trap 30+ at a time. Due to a few jumpers (yes pigs can fly) I have since raised the panel height to 8 foot. [video:youtube] https://youtu.be/QxIHUDR91Sk [/video]

That's a bunch o pork right there!
If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.
