Recently I found a device that works to stop hogs from feeding on your mineral/protein blocks pretty stinking well!!
The thing is called "The Texas Hog Blocker". you can find them at Texashogblocker.com or even on eBay. These are made in Texas and have a patent number.
They are quite clever and extremely easy to use!!

Simply drive a T-Post into the ground, back off the wing nut screw, slide the plate down on the T-Post to the desired height and then tighten the screw.
You will have to drill a hole thru the mineral/protein block to mount it down over the T-Post. I recommend an 1.5 inch paddle bit!! And I know it's probably self-explanatory, but the flat part goes up, and you set the block on that.

And now people go..."What about Coons"? Well, a little product we have used for years on legs of our tripod feeders is called "Tanglefoot"!! It's actually a product used to protect fruit trees from insects. You will NOT believe how stinking sticky this stuff is!!!

We have laughed ourselves silly watching the Coons have a fit over this stuff on their paws!!
Well...I hope someone found this a little useful. If you have Hogs or Coons and want to stop them, these items work. Hope you enjoy!!
