Logger's Point Hog Feeder Locations?

[Wimpoman]

Hi everyone. ;)

I'm looking for suggestions for where to put a Hog Feeder near the Three Lakes in Logger's Point.
I first put it between the small middle one and the right-most one (as you look at the map on the "Hunt Now" screen) and then at a point which is directly south of the left lake AND directly west of the right lake. In both those locations (unless I'm an impatient git and I'm not waiting long enough - I've been waiting roughly 24 hours real time) the attractiveness of the feeder stayed at 0.

Does anyone know if the second location (south of left lake, west of right lake) is actually ok and I just need to chill out? If not, could anyone suggest an alternate site (preferably near the 3 lakes) that would get a hog feeder to 100%?

Cheers in advance. ;)

yea bud once you put down the feeder and fill it im pretty sure it takes about 3 real days to get up to 100% fill it and go kill other stuff while waiting

According to the wiki, if the feeder is in a place that will reach 100%, it will increase by 15% per day. It also says, which is what I'm going off, that when you check after the first 24 hours, "If it is a lot below 15%, move the container. It is not a good spot."

i put one down near the tower in the south east part of map for a pig and took a couple of days but i left it cause i had to kiill a pig from a distance away and i think i still have it there but it did go uo to 100% i dont use wiki so i cant tell what they say to do

I've not got any good locations for hogs on Loggers (sorry but got some good spots on Bushranger's)

Re the "how do I tell if it's a good spot"

1 - try googling it; there's an excellent article on the official forums I found that way for Val Des Bois for instance

2 - trial and error method; like you say above, if your bin doesn't grow by 10% in a 24 hr period it's not best placed. 15% would be outstanding! As well as googling for tried and tested spots, another way is to look for an area that has a few sets of hog tracks in it, then bang the feeder in the centre of said area.

3 - even a mediocre bin can get to 100% after a while, but the longer it takes to grow to 100% the more feed you use (I think) but the less often you can harvest it.

I'm experimenting with bear feeders to start with, and will host for anyone on my Steam friends list if they want to have a crack at bruin!

First thing I did. ;)

That's what I tried both times.

Alright, thanks.

[Alf Tupper]

LOL - well I was just checking the obvious stuff in case you hadn't! Good luck!

if you stick one in my position 100 percent many hogs sometimes 20 + videos with details on my channel.

[Wimpoman]

I didn't think of that. I'll give it a try. Thanks Bushman. ;)

[Alf Tupper]

So the scent spray and the feeder effect stack? Nice idea - I like it if I have any feeders at less than 100%.

Cheers!

I think it's a problem with the map or the game, because the 3 new deployable towers I placed (also on Logger's Point) don't seem to be updating (getting built) either. :(

[Alf Tupper]

oh pants; verify the game files in Steam, clear game and launcher caches, then if your towers don't grow, try a full reinstall. Not had this issue myself but seems something is wrong

Hog feeders on Loggers point are real touchy to set up. ( More so than anywhere else) A couple of metres off and you will get nothing. It has been that way since the hog feeders were first introduced.
The best spot I have found is from the tower south of the lake, on the side road from the first junction south of the lakes. Tower 1 on the loading Map.
Set your feeder in the hollow 25 to 30 metres south of the tower.
I have a tent just below the junction, (must be min 400 m from the bait station). I load in and walk the road to the tower and crawl the last hundred metres to mount the tower.
Swing of the road to the east as you approach to get the wind in your face as you get close, and use the scent reducer.
Try to set your feeder so you can see it and shoot from prone through the doorway of the tower ... and the position will be pretty much bang on.

You can usually get up to ten hogs or more feeding there, and you will here them grunting and squealing as you approach the tower.
Your feeder (all Feeders) will take (at least) three or four days to come up to 100%.

You will also get whitetails, mules, pheasants, coyotes and rabbits consistantly in this area.

Another good spot is behind the north barn on settlers creek. About thirty yards north east of the barn and shooting from the back window upstairs in the barn.

You can find othergood spots by checking the hog kill stats of the top players and going to their profile, then find a big hog in their hunt records, click on the picture and go to the trophy record and check the kill map to see if they have a feeder there.
Every ones hunt stats are public record.

Good Luck

Not a bad idea, Bushman. ;)

Re: Towers - I didn't remember (nor does the wiki mention this) but in order to get the update that the tower is constructed, you have to visit the general area that it's in.

This guy's Hog Feeder at the 3 Lakes, is in nearly the exact same place (within metres I'd say) of where I first put mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt2h281TCqA

I think I'll move mine back there after seeing this (I moved it down south near the power station), although it doesn't actually look like his is attracting any either, so I dunno.

EDIT - I just found this thread on the official forums - http://forum.thehunter.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=66270

EDIT - Finally! x: -9032 y:5642 seems to be working.
