so I went on my first hog hunt this past weekend and they just didn't come out. On the camera I noticed a lot of Possums, Coons, and Crows eating the corn. What's the best option? Should I dig a hole and bury the corn? Looking for opinions.

I went to a meeting not too long ago that discussed the best baits. Outside of whole corn, pogies were the only thing that they would eat better.

Maybe soak the corn in pogie oil?

I have done this before with success. Put corn in 5 gallon bucket and soak in red Fanta drink for a couple of days. Dig a shallow hole (6 inches deep) then pour the corn Fanta mix in hole and cover with dirt. Only have 2 inches or so of dirt covering.

soured corn, corn soaked in kool aid, find a log or post and pour some diesel on it. The hogs at our place love anything that's got a diesel scent on it.

Corn, with yeast, sugar and water. Let it sit in the sun for a week. Hogs love it. The only way to keep the other animals away is to put a tiny bit of diesel fuel in it. Hogs love it, deer and coons don't.

Last week at a conference, I heard a guy with the LSU Ag. department give a talk on feral hog management. From there research bass and pogie were the food of choice for hogs, over just about everything else imaginable.

We use sour corn in Texas to attract them and it works like a charm. Like others said, put the corn and water in a bucket for about a week and then go dump it. We usually spread it up and down the road to spread the hogs out for when we ride and shoot them.

Just don't get the juice on you, that shite is rancid.

40 lb sack of corn with a bag of Hog Wild mixed in. Works like a charm

I've also had luck with fish heads as a corn topper

Ask Bleeding Purple about the time we hunted on his place. He accidentally got some on his pant leg and we didn't want to go near him until he changed.

Anything soaked in diesel, corn, soybeans, peas, beans, you name it. Have even poured diesel over a couple hundred pounds of salt....they root a hole in the ground the size of a small home

I had them on dry corn pretty good up until the rain a few weeks back and all this greenery from the early spring. Scattered like a fart in the breeze now.

All the suggestions are really good and work well. Also--if you have a stump that you need uprooted--weld a pointed plug/tip to the end of an iron pipe, jamb it down multiple times in the ground pretty deep in a circular pattern next to the stump's outer edges, and pour any of those mixtures down the holes. That stump will look like it was dynamited loose after the piggies are done digging.
