motion detector light?
I just saw a solar powered motion detector light in my new sportsmans guide catalog. Has anyone used one of these for hogs? If so do they work well? I have a feeder that would be perfect for one of these things if they work well. At $60 a pop I'd like to hear a review before I buy. If not I guess I'll be ya'lls guinea pig!

RE: motion detector light?
I haven't used a motion light. But a regular solar powered light works good too. I bought one four years ago for 30.00 bucks works great. It's the kind you use on a yard,it gives off enough light to light up a feeder. The hogs get used to the light, and it's easy pickings.

Hey txrookie, I've never heard of the motion thing but I have heard of people wiring a dimmer switch to their solar powered or battery powered lights. They have the switch inside their stand where they can control it. They wait for the porkers to show up then they ever-so-slowly turn up the light until there's enought to shoot well. You could probably rig this up for a lot less the $60.
Just another option for ya.

i use a motion detector light set up and it works great. The hogs dont even act like its there. I picked mine up at Sams club for 50 bucks. I just park about 80 yards from my feeder and wait for it to light up then its game time.

I have a 15 watt motion detector light. Attached magnets to the base and added
a red lens. The light can be set for an on time of 1 minute or 3 minutes. I set the on time, attach the light to the side of a feeder and wait. It works great.
