Looking at putting up some type of fence around the feeders to help keep the hogs off of the corn. Would the 34 inch high hog panels be enough or should we go with the 50 inch tall ones? Always just did a small fence for cattle before out of left over rolls of mesh and barb. Never had to worry about hogs.

The 34" panels should be sufficient. That's what I'll be doing in the next few weeks for my daughter's hanging feeder.
As for the Bears, I don't think that they will mess with the panels.

Most of our deer photos with the exception of a small buck and doe, have been away from the feeders on the logging road cuts. Once the bear and hogs find the feeder we get no more deer coming to them. Last time out we did put out some protein blocks and rice bran in the cuts were we were getting a few picture without a feeder in the area. Hope when I make it up at the end of the month we have more deer photos on those cameras. May have to turn off the feeder and move the pipe feeder to make the hogs move on.

I'll be setting up two feeders for my kids hoping to get some late season does coming in once the other food sources begin to dry up.

Pictures to come soon. Some good pictures! Bears are everywhere! They are thick down on one creek. I'm not going to hunt them but my dad is. I don't want anything to do with them wish they would go away, they didn't get any of our feeders but did a couple other lease members. They are even getting our hand corn and took out a couple of cameras but luckily didn't destroy them and we're left laying on the ground.
