Anyone interested in booking just give me a couple of weeks heads up and I can have you a place hot and ready. After deer season closes of course.

Here is what we do. I will set up a tree stand in a pig infested location. I will set up a feeder to throw 6 times starting about an hour before dark and every 45 minutes after that. I will equipt a LED light on the bottom of the feeder so you can see the pigs when they come in. The feeder will be set up right at 20 yards. So all shots should be 17-23 yards. The pigs will get used to hitting it every time they hear it. If all works right, you could get several shots in a single night and still be out around midnight.

When they come in, make a good shot and stay put in the tree. Many times they will turn around and come back in a few minutes. If not, when the feeder throws again. The smaller pigs are pretty hooked and will keep coming back. Now, if you want to hold out on a big one, you can do that as well. We will have a game camera on the location and we will be able to give you a good idea of what to expect and when to expect them to come in. The big boys move at night.

Full moons normally have the least amount of activity. I like a dark moon. We use a night light that shines green LED lights under the feeder. You can see your pins just fine.
