I keep feeding them...and then the pigs came...
MMMMMM pig when life gives you lemons{ or in this case pigs} make lemonade{or in this case sausage mmmmmmm sausage}
Only if one walks out.
I didn't go out once last year. I either had the money, but no time or vice versa. I'm so ready to get out there this year.
As far as the hogs go, we surround all of our feeders with hog panels that way the deer can get in the pens, but the hogs can't. They try and that keeps them around so if we want some pork chops, they're there for the taking.
Might want to check with your Game Wardens on shooting deer inside an enclosed trap. You may be on thin legal ground there. I know we are REQUIRED to take our hog traps down that surround a feeder during deer season.

We did have some hog panels surrounding a protein feeder, but opened it up because the deer seemed to stop coming to the feeder, even though they should have been able to get in and out easily.
The area surrounded by the panels may not be large enough to make the deer comfortable. Especially if there is an aggressive deer that gets inside and runs the more timid ones off.
