I live in the area and kill 20 or so hogs on 12 acres during the year. The highest number i took out in a single year was 68 when the river was at flood stage. Even with your feeder going dump 100 pounds in a pile away from the feeder and put a camera on it. They will go nocturnal pretty quick after you start shooting at them. If you can set up within 50 yards, a 22 will allow you to get multiple before are gone.

When I lived in Cali and hunted hogs I found a local food market that would give me fruit they pulled off the shelves and were going to throw our for free. The butcher btw did a hog for me in exchange for some meat!
The best I found were plums and strawberries. Put them in a 5 gallon bucket with a cover (I used old pool chlorine buckets rinsed well). Let them sit in the sun for several days to a week. It smells fermented and sweet.
We’d bait traps or pour it out at night and hogs would come into the orchard to eat it.
I learned hogs will eat anything, except celery. There could be 20 pounds of fruits snd vegetables, and only the celery would be remaining. Lord only knows why- they’re pigs.
