I have been running feeder morning and evening for 3 seconds each. I have two feeders only 200 yards apart. Each is 500 lbs and at 6 seconds total a day they last 8-10 weeks.
Like many others my corn has been piling up last month. There are Turkeys and Hogs in there and I will hunt both.
What would you do for a schedule? I'm thinking once a day at 2 seconds, but don't know what time.
Thank you.

If your wanting to hunt the hogs, leave them set where you put out enough to keep the hogs coming in. If not then turn 'em down. I'll be setting mine at 4 seconds morning and 4 seconds in the evening for the hogs.

I adjust mine when the corn piles up. Run one to feed only in the morning....the other to feed only in the evening.

8 seconds in the morning and 3 in the evening. The hogs eat it in the evening so im not going to contribute anymore than 3 seconds to those little ^&*##$&s

I just let them run out. The hogs are so bad where I hunt they will just take over and you wind up feeding hogs!

During the season I run mine 3 seconds in the am and 3 in the pm, but during the off season i turn it down to a second a piece. We don't have any hogs in our area and I will be back for a spring turkey hunt, but the turkeys in the spring don't seem to pay much attention to the feeders. Almost everyone I've killed or seen is because I called it in.

I am moving my feeder to a new location and will be feeding 2 seconds morning and night. I will also be running a free choice protein feeder.

I will turn mine back a little but I want to wage war on the pig population. I enjoy the thought of going every 3 or 4 weeks to not just work at the lease but get to hunt year round. Get to hunt at night and I am looking forward to it.
