DIY: Hog Pipe

Wild hogs are habitual animals; they regularly return to a food source. Baiting hogs, as a result, is simple. Hogs are destructive animals and they demolish complex or flimsy feeders. A hog pipe is one solution to the rough nature of hogs. A pipe feeder is placed on the ground and hogs push it around. The movement shakes feed from holes in the pipe onto the ground where the pigs forage for it. Building a hog pipe feeder is simple.

      Wipe primer inside the cap and outside the last 5 inches of one end of the pipe. Wipe glue over the primer. Slide the cap over the end of the pipe. Hold the cap in place for 10 seconds. Swab primer inside the threaded adapter and around the outside of the other end of the pipe. Swab glue over the primer. Put the adapter on the end of the pipe and hold it in place for a 10 count.

      Drill rows of holes around the circumference of the pipe, one hole every 6 inches. Separate the rows by 9 inches. Do not drill into the cap or the adapter. Drill a hole in one side of the knob on the cap and out the other. Do not drill into the top of the knob.

      Slide the cable through the holes in the knob. Put each end of the cable through the pipe clamp and tighten the nuts on the clamp with a socket wrench. The hog pipe is ready. To use it, simply remove the cable clamp, wrap the cable around a tree, fence post or other stationary object. Replace the clamp and tighten the nuts down. Fill the pipe with bait feed and twist the threaded cap on. When hogs come upon it, they smell the feed inside the pipe and begin rooting it around.
