    Hog blood around the feeder while deer hunting

    Hogs have really moved in on us, and I want to kill as many as we can. BUT what happens when the deer smell the blood around the feeder? I know from personal experience that (our) deer will not come anywhere close to a feeder (2-3 weeks) if there has been blood split from another deer.
    Your thoughts are appreciated..

    I have shot hogs(3) on a Saturday morning with a rifle and had deer come in during the evening hunt. They never paid any attention to the blood shed

        years ago i shot a deer with a rifle and he fell in his tracks and bled all over the place, next day there were deer right there in the same place, didn't seem to bother them at all, it really suprised me, i was thinking that they would shy away also

          I've shot deer in a field and gone to field dress them and turned my headlights on after I got done just to see deer back in the field eating. They don't pay too much attention when food is on the ground.

            Blood is blood, just like pee is pee. They don't care. It smells the same if it is deer, hog, coon or human blood/pee. I think what might spook them would be the change of smell/hormones/pheremones from the interdigitals if the animal was spooky before.

              I think the deer are happy to smell hog blood because they know that another one of the stikin' things are dead!!

                  I've shot a deer eating a feeder while there was a dead hog within 4 feet bleeding out.
                  Also shot a doe eating a a feeder while there was a dead coyote less than 15 yards away.. she actually passed it to get to the feeder.

                    I've had deer sniff the bloody arrow after it passed through a deer. Didn't seem to alarm them.

                      I've had deer eat corn that was sitting in blood from their fallen amigo 10 minutes after shooting. I would not worry about it.
