How to Make a Wild Hog Feeder from PVC Pipe

Baiting wild hogs is a means of hunting. If a hunter knows where the hogs will be, the hunter does not have to search for them. Filling a PVC pipe with feed and allowing the hogs to find the pipe, root around it, spill the feed from holes in the pipe and eat it encourages the hogs to return to a given area consistently. Making a hog pipe is simple and takes less than an hour.

Instructions

    • 1

      Drill a 3/4-inch hole in the top of the PVC slip fit cap. Slide a 3/4-inch eye bolt through the hole. Slide a washer over the end of the bolt and thread a nut on behind it. Tighten the nut on the bolt with a wrench.

      Attach the 3/4-inch chain to the eye bolt with a 1/2-inch bolt, two washers and a nut. Slide a washer onto the bolt, slide the bolt through the last link in the chain, then through the eye bolt. Slide another washer onto the bolt followed by a nut. Tighten the nut with a socket and crescent wrenches.

      Slide a washer onto a second bolt. Slide the bolt through the last link on the other end of the chain. Double the chain back on itself to create a loop with a 4-inch diameter. Slide the bolt -- already fitted with a washer and slipped through the final link -- through another link, a few inches from the end, to complete the loop. Slide another washer onto the bolt followed by a nut. Tighten the nut on the bolt with crescent and socket wrenches.

      Drill holes in the 6-inch diameter pipe with a 3/4-inch bit. Drill rows of holes 4 inches apart around the circumference of the pipe. Drill the holes in each row 9 inches apart. Prime one end of the pipe and the slip fit cap. Wipe glue on the primer. Slide the cap over the end of the pipe. Prime and glue the other end of the pipe and the threaded cap in the same manner and slide the cap over the end of the pipe.

      Unscrew the threaded cap and fill the pipe with feed. Select an area where you find hog signs. Pound a 4-foot stake 3 feet into the ground. Slide the loop in the chain over the stake.
