All of a sudden I’m covered up with them. Shooting may start tonight and trapping will begin tomorrow. We have lots of freezer room. The rear feeder is much more crowded.

Weren't you just complaining a few weeks ago that you didn't have any pigs?

Well….yes, I was. Either I have too many or none, and right now I’m edging toward too many. But, I now have targets of opportunity, so that’s good. The hogs that are coming to the yard feeder are out of sync with my urination timing. So, this afternoon I threw corn everywhere, so they’ll be focused on the corn for longer, which will improve my chances of seeing them as I stumble to the bathroom.

Depends on the pig size mostly, but 10 is a decent guess. Maybe more, but not less. I’ll also give away a few, and the rest go to feed the buzzards.

Do you climb that ladder with a bag of corn? Get you another Lamco. I'm remembering a picture of your other feeder and it"s a Lamco isn't it? I had a feeder I had to climb a ladder on. Dang near killed myself trying to get protein up to it.

Jetdad, I used to climb the ladder with the 50# bags, but when I had shoulder surgery, I had to rethink. Now I use the tractor and bucket, which will get the bags as high as the top of the drum. Much easier, and I wonder why it took so long to figure that out.
Any feeders I buy from now on will be those Lamco Low and Throw.

The trap is baited and set. Cherry jello powder was put on the apple flavored corn. Now we wait…

I am wounded to the core that you didn't use powdered peanut butter.

Once we turned our feeders to daytime only for deer season we have no hogs.

The cherry jello powder worked. Caught a young boar. And had hogs under the yard feeder at midnight, shot a medium size sow.

And they are back. After killing a couple yesterday, I thought maybe they’d disappear for a short time. Well, it was a very short time, like 24 hours. The yard feeder… And the power line feeder…
