Not by an answer that never comes . . .
Only recently started hunting wild ones and, so far, have been amazed again. They adapt patterns to pressure and adjust to methods of dispatch. There's a reason they're a problem.

Not sure if this is the feeder they plan to use.

A solar-powered machine designed to open only when pigs grunt and snuffle is being tested at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area in Hunt, Texas. The HAM (Hog Annihilation Machine) delivers a 15,000-volt shock to animals that touch it when its hoppers are closed -- not enough to faze a pig or injure other wildlife but enough to send a bear or raccoon running, said inventor Harold Monk of Denham Springs, Louisiana.
He said it can also be programmed to ignore sounds. When a wildlife camera showed it opening to an alligator's bellow, he took the camera's recording and fed it to HAM's sound card. "I said, 'That sound is not a hog.' Thereafter, it never opened again on that sound," Monk said.
