I normally leave three feeders running throughout the late spring & summer. This weekend all seven feeders went live. I did mix in a bag of milo into each feeder. Changed all the batteries in the cameras. I did have one motor in a feeder to replace. I checked the cameras, I do have one really nice buck on camera for the middle of July. I'm betting he'll be a 120ish class buck when he's done. That's about the size of our bucks out here with a 130 thrown in here and there during the rut. I have a nice crop of fawns on camera as well which is always a great thing to have. Oddly enough very little and I mean very little pig activity over the spring and summer. I'm sure it will pick up as we move into Oct.

Distance is not the issue, but the winds can make it interesting!

I have had three single hogs on my 24/7 cellular camera since January. Have kept the feeder running too. I thunk it would keep 'em coming in. Reckon I was wrong.

I use a version of these LED Solar lights. These have been up nearly 3.5 years. I remove the lens cover, pull out the foil reflector and put in a red lens filter. Put the foil reflector and lens cover back on. One lights the area up nicely, two makes it awesome. There are cheaper ones out there now that have more lumens and LED's.
