Heres how Ive started doing hog management!
Here's how I do it and Ive shot about 20-30 this winter!
On my land I have my trailer/camp and 180 yards away with a clear line of sight I put up a feeder and on that feeder I hung a light like on your porch that comes on when it detects movement. I screwed in two 60 watt fluorescent lites and ran a 50 foot cord over to a area and ordered a
50$ power inverter that converts 12 volts to 110 volt ac and hooked it up to a 12 volt marine deep cycle battery and placed this in a water tight plastic tub.
now we sit at the trailer/camp and watch for the light to come on signaling a hog at the feeder and also providing light for shooting! never had one leave because of the light and the battery last for days. its also not so boring because we sit around camp shooting the bull while waiting!
