I'm in..lol. Have a friend that almost has that setup on some property here in N.C.; heated / A-C'ed box blinds about 10 feet up, carpeted, sliding windows, recliners, whole 9 yards. Just kick back and wait on the motion sensor dinger to go off from something moving at the feeder, ease the window open, power up the ATN and have at it.

I put these two piglet making machines to sleep this morning. The one on the left at 1 AM and the one on the right at 3 AM. I used a special mixture of lead and copper propelled by IMR 8208 XBR and used a 7BR for injection.
Picture two is the two of them headed for the buzzards dining table. The caracara and the black vultures really prefer
sows. I will not elaborate.
I will give it another go tonight and see if I can get another double header.

My boss manages some property in SC with a major hog and deer problem and they fence in about 30 acres to plant for a dove field. This dove field is on an island surrounded by swamp and water. This year someone left the gate open after deer season and the hogs poured in. He put a camera up and found that they would come in at night and leave before daylight the next morning. So one morning he slipped in and shut the gate on a 20 acre field before daylight, then he called his duck guides. When they finished a couple of hours later, they had 41 piled up. Now that's hog hunting.

Shoot out the back door of the warehouse most times,,FnFal 7.62X51,,308,,use a Nikon Slughunter shotgun scope,I use a lot of eye relief the way I'm on my stock,it has heavy crosshairs
that are easy to see in low light.Have a street light out back about 30 yards away from the feeder which gives enough light for the security cameras to show them.I only have the
feeder out back set for 10 seconds at 6PM,midnight,and 6AM. I've had them here at 9:30 PM to 5:30 AM,you never know. They were here this morning from 2 to 5:20,,I got up at 5:30
go figure. Anyway,back out tonight waiting for a porker.

Dan, thanks for the info, Looks like you got the wind at your back and sailing in the right direction. The summer heat really has them unpredictable on arrival time so it's usually a
wake up and go look thing for me. I use my Google assistant to wake me at various times. I'm now considering a midnight feed time just to make some chow noise in the pasture.
I have found that after I bust into them several times that group tends to move on and a couple of weeks later a new group move in. I have heard that they may travel as much as 25 miles in search of food. I'm pretty sure I have an endless supply of these and since I'm about a mile from the San Antonio River they have good travel routes. A rancher recently cut wheat on a 70 acre plot and some hunters with thermal scopes went to take a look one night and counted over 100 hogs on the field, maybe as high as 150. That wheat rain is not very big so those hogs must be in vacuum mode to gather it. Recent rains and cooler weather will get 'em moving again.

Hang a big magnet where you want them. Watch what happens.
Did you have any visitors on camera after taking a bite off?
