Do hogs become accustomed to white lights from a motion censored light?

Short answer is yes. Very quickly.

Hogs will get used to any color of light. It is helpful that the light doesn't flash on, but increases in intensity more slowly, but they will eventually get used to it.

Some of my stands that double for night hog hunting have solar motion sensing security lights on them. They will trigger on, time out, and flash back on sometimes several times while they are there. The hogs do not care. Perhaps there is a learning curve for the resident hogs on my leases to get used to it and then pass that on to each generation of piglets that grow up with it.

Yes and no. Was hunting a sounder that would make its presence known in a nearby neighborhood. I have a video of me walking up to them next to the road with a regular flashlight. Could have whacked one on the [censored]. Same sounder would bolt when i hit them with the light at my hunting spot 1/4 mile away. They get used to their surroundings. Sound is the same - they'll get use to "normal" sounds but bolt at an unusual sound they don't recognize. I suspect if they're are plenty of hogs at a regular feeder they would get use to it even if shot at a lot. Where I hunt they are very wary after being hunted for 6 years.

They are fine with white as long as they have a deer watching out for them.

As long as there is corn to eat
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.
