I would start by controlling the hog population, if you have enough cover then it sounds like the hogs are outcompeteing everything else. They are an exotic invasive species and will disrupt the natural ecosystem.

the thing i would do is hire a wildlife biologist they will know excatly what you need but it you don't have that much money you need to lessen the popluation of the hogs. another thing is you might just not have a good poplulation of deer in the area if not then i don't know what to do but good luck

20 acres isn't very much for hunting.

If you can sit up on top of a hill looking down on the feeders, it might help. Especially if you can set up in a manner that keeps your scent away from the feeder when you enter and leave the stand.
