That feeder is designed to hold 1000 lbs of corn (25, 40 lb bags). The hog panel fence is intended to not waste corn feeding pigs, not give them a chance to damage the feeder, and perhaps most importantly, not be interested in hanging around the feeder which could inhibit the deer from doing so. So far, no hogs have breached the fence. Sounders of them wander by. I've seen up to two doe inside the fence with two more and a buck on the outside. No buck has yet been photographed inside the fence. I live in AZ and have a hunting-savvy neighbor check the feeder whenever I think the traffic is light via the cellular camera. I probably could have gotten by with a smaller feeder since I can still see corn in the upper peep hole after about 2.5 months of feeding. When I come back next, I think I'll set up a second feeder/camera; that one will be gravity fed, feed protein, and may or may not have a fence. If I do put up a fence, I'm going to make it out of 10 hog panels instead of 6. Right after I joined OK Shooters, I asked for advice on big and dependable feeders; track that string down to see the ideas offered - I wanted USA-made, dependable, and big enough to not needed filling often. If you are local, some may not apply. Advice for all included ideas to thwart pigs, *****, squirrels (tree rats), and bears. Save for the pigs wandering by, and does, the only thing else I've seen on camera, that are eating corn are crows (off and on) and an occasional ****.</p></blockquote><p></p>
