Hog Pipe

[BustedAssRanch]

I'm sure their are a lot of people that have done this, but I thought I would throw it out there for the folks that might not have heard of it.

What you do is take a 4" PCV pipe cut it 4 to 6 foot. Take a regular cap on one end with a threaded eye bolt through the center. The other end you will use a threaded female with a threaded male plug. Once you glue all that together drill about 6 to 8 1/2" holes in the pipe. I use a steel dog stay with a swivel to attach it to. I use 5/16" "aircraft" cable with swivels to connect the pipe to the stay.

You take off the threaded male plug to fill with your corn. The hogs will push it in a circle all night trying to get the corn out of the small holes.

Great ideal. We just learned this ourselves.

They will still find ways to tear it up..like everything they get close to...but it works real good for me being a bow hunter..It keeps them busy & creates a loud enough noise that I can hear from a distance to begin my stalk, and help conceal my noise..also I mix my corn with jello or kool aid which creates a sent to help keep their nose off me.

It is funny you ask!!! I just found my piece of burlap yesterday, hanging on the fence over by the farm diesel tank. I could not figure out what the hell I did with it. I knew I would find it eventually. Need to wrap a few poles and see what happens!!!

I had someone asking me how I made my hog pipes so I thought I would bring this post back to life. I will be happy to answer any questions here for everyone to see. I know Shane has made one also maybe he will chime in with his .02

I thinck im gunna try putting a compartment with gravel in the hog tube so the hogs still think there is corn in the pipe when its empty. And they will continue to role it around





Great post man

[BustedAssRanch]

Thats an idea. I am guessing after the corn quits hitting the ground they may get a clue..Not sure..let us know if it works...

I made my own stake. 1/2 inch rebar with a couple big washers welded together and welded solid to one end of the rebar as a "head" on the stake. Then I slid my swivel...found in the chain isle at the hardware store onto the rebar up to the washer "head". I then welded another couple washers together with the smallest washer's hole diameter able to slide up the rebar. Welded it in place trapping the swivel between the head and it...this also gives the swivel something to ride on as the tube is being pushed in a circle...nail the stake in the ground so the bottom washer is flush with the ground. I then cut a triangular piece of steel and welded it about halfway down the rebar to kind help hold the stake in the ground...similar to a t-post. I put a chain quick connect on the swivel and to one end of the 10 inch length of chain I had laying around....then another quick connect to the opposite end of the chain, then a swivel, and another quick connect from the swivel to the eye bolt in the Cap of the tube. I built my tube just like Kevin told me to and it has been great and my chain setup has not gotten tangled or anything yet.
