Hog Hunting Question

[kynardsj]

Trailcam pics on some land I have access to are all showing hogs moving at night. Is there any way other than dogs to coax them into some daytime movement ?

   Howdy! Probably not. However, if you bait with corn, hogs will find it. They make night lights for corn feeders these days that you can turn on and off by remote. Also, you might try hunting a baited area near a water source late in the day just before dark. You might have some luck doing this. Best of luck! Always, Gene

Corn feeder/slingers that only feed in daylight are prefered.  Some are increment programmable in 30-minute segments starting at low ambient light of daylight/night fall and proceed/receed for up to 2.5 hours.  So you could get a corn sling feeder that programmed for 9:30 AM (+/-) and again at 5:00 PM (+/-) for two decent feeding per day.  Get one that the slinger platten is aluminum with upraised sides and it will "ping" when spreading, which to the hogs is soon the Dinner Bell.  Leave them alone for a while after the slinger is set to give them a chance to become complacent.  Then HAMMER 'em.

Along with that there is an eletronic call (pocket size) called a feeder repeter . It makes the exact same sound the alum feeder makes. I can't say for hogs but deer will come to it most anytime they hear it once they get used to hearing the sound and getting a meal.
You might need to start at night then switch a little at a time so they will have confidence in the feeder . The more competition in the area from other hogs, deer etc the better they will come.

Thanks guys, I have access to just the thing. It's a racket making contraption that also doubles as a feeder.
