Hog Hunting Question!

For the past month I’ve been baiting a corn field with different sweet corn mixtures to get hogs in-front of cameras. I’ve tried 4 different hog attractants and I’ve gotten 2 singles on camera in a month. I’m helping a family friend get rid of the hogs because they have been terrorizing their corn fields for years. I know they’re there and there are a bunch, but I can’t seem to get them on camera.

Is it possible the hogs just aren’t around yet or am I doing something wrong?

Asking for opinions! Thank you!

Hydra 635/ 650 vs TU635

Looking at buying a 635 maybe 650 and was initially set on the tu635 lrf but I just saw the Hydras super resolution feature and want opinions. I also like the idea that the hydra scope looks much more durable, but I’m open to both kinds.

I like the idea of 1.5x base mag on the hydra635 lrf but 6x max doesn’t seem like enough for 250 yards

Shooting a 300 blackout primarily but also shoot a 16’ 556 for longer range coyotes (250-300 yards)

I hunt mainly hogs and coyotes at a max 250 yards, very unlikely I’d ever shoot 300yards. I have an AGM rattler v2 384 but having trouble identifying animals at 100 yards+

Would like to stay under $3000 but if a little over is worth it then I’m open to it

Wanted to hear y’all’s opinions! Thank you!

Need help setting up for hogs and coyotes- follow up post

Need some help to setup to kill hogs and coyotes. The area highlighted is a harvested corn field. The areas in blue are by far the most active with hogs and coyotes. I have them on camera down there every morning and night but can’t seem to find them when hunting. I have a thermal setup and a coyote caller ive had success with in the past but nothing I’m doing in this field is working.

The RED shows the visibility for STAND 1

The PURPLE shows the visibility for STAND 2

I have portable ground blind setups and thermals to hunt at night, I also spread sweet corn in the blue areas in front of cameras this weekend so hoping to see some more patterning this week.

I have hunted stand 1 twice now with no luck and have yet to hunt stand 2.

Any info on how to call them in or where to setup would be much appreciated!!

Need help getting on hogs and coyotes

Need some help to setup to kill hogs and coyotes. The area highlighted is a harvested corn field where I’d like to hunt hogs and coyotes. The area in blue is the lowest spot on the field and by far the most active with hogs and coyotes. I have them on camera down there every morning and night but can’t seem to find them when hunting. I have a thermal setup and a coyote caller ive had success with in the past but nothing I’m doing in this field is working. Any info on how to call them in or where to setup would be much appreciated!!

Also wind is generally easy to west
