I don't like hogs in my food plot areas, so I fence the perimeter of my property with field fence to reduce the hog traffic; they wreak havoc on food plots. Yes, I also end up repairing areas where the hogs go under the fence. If it is not possible to reduce the hog traffice, then I recommend free-choice protein feeders. These enable you to feed high quality protein, off the ground, so the deer benefit and the hogs not so much. Some protein will fall from the feeder while a deer is feeding and the hogs will naturally pick this up, so you will attract hogs also to these feeders. I say, "shoot 'em and put 'em on the pit. They are fun to shoot and good to eat."

The hogs tear up a food plot more than they feed at the plot. They really are destructive and that is why I try to keep them out of the food plots.
