How to keep deer away from hog feeders

[Scalloper1]

I have three hog stands with corn feeders set up but man I am loaded up with deer. I am hunting in central TX. Would sour corn be a better choice of bait vs regular corn?

Around here people soak the corn in diesel fuel and most of the time it works. However, I have seen deer still eat the soaked corn on a very heavily populated farm.

Try some hog pipes.

Dig a post hole, fill w/sour corn and cover w/an inch or two of loose dirt. Hogs will clean up the corn before deer have a chance.

Yep, this does work.

Good luck. Posthole diggers will work to an extent, but deer down here will dig it up too. The good news is it takes them a while to do so. It is good when hogs find it because it keeps them at the site longer.

Make a pig pipe.

I checked the three feeders yesterday and saw 15 deer total. They were back 5 minutes after I left. I am going to build 3 hog pipes and see if that helps.
