That's not a plot,that's a meal. I think the hogs will just wreck it.

well all the wild onions that are growing in a field were gone one night they ate every thing....and also the food plot has a 4 foot fence around it so the hogs need to do some raming or some jumping inorder to get in there

the bad thing about attracting hogs to your food plot is that other wildlife will not want to hang around it... hogs are very dominant and will destroy your food plot running off anything in its path... i would not want hogs in my food plots if i am trying to take any other game off of it.
* just my 2 cents*

good tip but the hogs re already there and theres no way of getting rid of them and when they do go by the plot bammm there goners and on to the bbq pit so thats why i want to attract them either way there are wild onions there too

If you are going to plant sunflowers, plant them seperate from other plants. They are allelopathic.
