Been throwing corn for about a month now and have hundreds of pics of hogs, not one deer. I see deer when I'm out there but this is getting ridiculous. I finally turned off my main feeder because I'm just feeding the problem. How can I get rid these things and there is a s%&! load of them. I'm getting 10-20 pigs at one time on camera if not more.

Just put a fence all around your feeder so the pigs wont get in.

Make a pen. Will keep the pigs out and the deer will come. It isn't too late to do it but if you wait too long, it will be questionable if the deer will want to use it and may be a bit before they get used to it during the season.

Hog panels or even woven fencing with enough t-posts and make it big enough to keep all the corn inside the pen. Works well for your problem!

That the reason why you do not have any deer, spend the money and time to build a good feeder pen, and I would do it as soon as possible.

Sounds good to me, can't hunt deer at night, can't hunt deer all year, deer don't come in dozens like hogs, and hogs taste better. I wished I had the problem you have.

I had the same problem, all hogs no deer on cam for months. Went out one evening to shoot a pig and ended up watching deer all evening. They had been coming in about 50-100 yards away from the feeder, feeding in my field. Cams only tell a fraction of the story of whats going on. I keep feeling the feeder so I can hunt the hogs, but after moving the cam to the field, I found I have deer coming out regularly.

I've shot a few and they will leave for a few days, then right back like before. Starting to get aggravating. I guess my next move will be a pen. I was just thinking why would deer jump a feed pen when they could possibly go next door to a feeder without a pen. I don't know may be over thinking the problem

^^this^^ or you can spend a little extra money a buy some interlocking panels. We did, and it was well worth the investment. It keeps hogs and cattle out of the feeder. And you can take them with you to other places besides buiding fences all the time.
