Looks like fun to me. Javelinas are fun to pop.

As an aside, if you have feral boars of any size, those legs are not gonna suffice. I'd recommend driving a #4 x 2' piece of rebar in the ground at each leg and then wrapping wire around the rebar and leg, in order to keep your feeder from being toppled.

.Ditto, What GWB says. Wild pigs would have a hay day with the feeder. Hopefully, The Mohardo's are eating the wild pigs if you have any.

We don't have hogs; just javelina, deer, and very rarely elk. I probably will upgrade the legs though.

Thanks for sharing the photos! Even though you don't have hogs, even the javis will rub against the legs and possibly overturn it when it's less than full and doesn't have the support of the corn's weight. I've had feeders knocked over and even had the timers busted up from the impact thanks to hogs and the occasional stray cattle coming in from one of the neighboring' places.

Looks like all three are different animals.
Did you shoot any of them, or just get these pics?

They're safe, this is in our "front yard" in a "development".

Of course the front yard is 40 acres.......
