i've watched wild hogs chase deer off the game plots, away from ponds, away from the feeders and even out of the wheatfields.

i'm having a lot of trouble at a place where we deliberately attracted wild hogs. The hogs have taken over the game plots and the feeders at that place: The game cameras have not picked up a deer in weeks. In the past week three sows and 11 pigs have been killed there. The boars will get theirs in due time.
true that....we had a Frankenstein feeder....was a 55 gal drum with 4" pvc manual feeder under it, the hogs knocked it loose, dumped 55 gallons corn in a pile, took em 4-7 days to eat it, i got the picture sequence ...had to put a trap in, after a few months, the deer come back more than the hogs did.
