I have hunted and killed both wild pigs and deer for many years. This is the first year that pigs have hogged in on my deer hunting.
When I scouted my lease, 35 miles west of Jacksonville, FL., I saw lots of sign for bucks. I had been keeping feeders going with corn.
The black powder opener was on Oct. 21 and suddenly, pig were eating all the corn and despoiling the area. I have heard that deer will not go and eat after pigs rooted up the area. That appears to be true.
Is there anything that I can do, short of ending all baiting, in order to not have so many pigs around my stand?
It would not be so bad if I was killing pigs, but they appear to only be foraging in the dark, so I do not see them.!
