I've been having a hard time tracking down these hogs lately. I realize that food is abundant during this time of the year, so what can I use to persuade them a little better?

I've been using corn, mixed with sugar and apple juice that's been sitting in the sun for a good while. It's been great, except for the last two months. What gives?

Diesel fuel and corn. You won't have to worry about anything else taking it, but hogs love it.

Ricebrand or mule feed. They can smell that from miles away. Or, soak your corn in water for about a week before putting it out.

Take all the leftovers that have spoiled out of your frige, toss in a bucket in the sun for a day or so, mix with sour corn and a gallon of spoiled milk. Dig a hole, pour bucket of stuff in hole, cover back up. Will look like Hiroshima in 24 hrs if there are hogs around.

Are you killing them in this spot? If so you may want to try a new spot. We have to move our food/pins every time we kill a handful.

ETA: Ive had luck with all baits mentioned above at various times.

Mike some grape koolaid with the corn and diesel and bury it with a post hole digger. They root that stuff out.

And illegal.


I have had luck with just plain corn. It's what they are used to eating anyway after hitting up feeders all over the place. Plus, I now have the fattest squirrels you have ever seen.

It's for the sweet potato blight.

It is illegal to intentionally feed, deposit, place, distribute, expose, scatter, or cause to be fed, deposited, placed, distributed, exposed, or scattered, raw sweet potatoes to wild game quadrupeds.
