    Elevate your stand and shoot over near side panel

      Shoot'em going to or coming from the pen
      Or as suggested elevate a couple feet

        You could build your pen in a way that you can fold down the panel where you're shooting. Fold it down while you're there and up when you leave.

          I used to have a pen around and bow blind made of 39" hog panels with t-post supports. On the panel in front of the blind I cut the panel to 20" then reattached the piece i cut out with wire to make a hinge. When i hunted the stand i just let the cutout down so i could shoot without hitting the panel. Worked perfect and the deer never noticed the difference.

            Also, you do realize hogs can jump over that fence?

              Mayor Mary has a video of a big old hog jumping into her pen. It is rare, but they can if they want to.

                If one makes it it wouldn't hurt me just a bigger Target to hit If I'm there when it does

                    You are making this way too hard.We cut our top 14-16" of our cattle panels so that we can fold it down and back up. We simply unfasten it at the bottom so it hinges down. We fold it down when we get in the pop up and then we put it back up when we leave. It keeps hogs and cattle out but allows a better shot when hunting. We use simple clips on top to disconnect an reconnect it. Works great

                    PYBuck does the same thing.I did not see his post

                      Raising blind 3’ fixes issue imo

                        Just hand corn the outside of the pen on the days you are hunting. Hogs wont congregate in the area if there isn't feed there on a regular basis. Hand corn will slow most deer down long enough. It's been my experience that if you hand corn outside, very few does will even jump in the pen.

                          Raise the blind or hunt the trails leading to it.
