Hogs are fenced off, still no deer yet - 10/29/17 04:04 AM
Hello, hunter friends.
In Southeast Texas where I hunt, hogs frequent our feeder a lot more often than deer.
As an effort to give deer a better chance to the feeder and to prevent hog access, after consulting with experts here on the forum, we have fenced up the feeder with 6 and 1/2 hog panels (size of each panel 16ft x 34in) two weeks ago. Game camera indicates hogs are fenced off, but we haven’t seen a deer inside the enclosure yet. Raccoon activity certainly has increased.
When do you think deer are expected to jump in to access the feeder?
Our hunting area is a little tight, so we build the enclosure an elongated shape. Do you think we need to stretch it more and make it even longer?
Thank you. Your opinion is always appreciated.
