December 26: Medina, TX  Hog, Shot with a Browning 300 Win Mag, 180 grain bullet at 45 yards. I was night hunting and heard him banging the feeder. This head weighed approximately 30lbs and I estimate that he weighed over 300 lbs.   Tusks were over 4" long and razor sharp.

This is what I saw, when I went to my deer lease...my motor to my feeder missing "Stolen" in matter of fact....I had 2 motors taken along with my game-camera and stand and my tripod....lost around $600.00.....I followed the tire tracks leading to my neighbors lease...what a bunch of loosers...I was brought up to respect other people property....these neighbors should never consider themselves hunters.....just loosers...I hope they stay in that lease this coming year...LET DRUMS START BEATING... SO SAD!!!!!!

This is a great new invention called "Feeder Meeter". You attach it to your deer feeder and it is a visual aid to help determine if the buck you are looking at meets the 13" rule.

My brother and I have been building these sanctuary pens to provide food and water for the wildlife. Now I don't know, if it is just deer camp myth, but the cattle and hogs have been respecting them. They don't make an effort to come in. I had tried everything else, barb wire fencing, electric fences, etc, and it just wouldn't keep them out. Now the deer camp myth I had heard was that hogs and cattle are afraid of the red color. These pens are primer red and I haven't been (knock on wood) hassled by the cattle and hogs yet. I have pictures of them going by them, but not entering. So I may be convinced that the red color may have something to do with it, so I am going to paint every feeder leg, trough, pen, the deepest cherry red color I can find.

Here is a photo of a mounted working deer feeder helper.

NOT LONG AFTER I TOPPED OFF THE FEEDER THESE GUYS MADE A HIT AND RUN ...GOOD THING I SET THE CAMERA ...LOOKS LIKE I'LL HAVE SOME CABRITO SOON.

CHECK OUT THE TIME THEY SPENT EATING
