Hog hunting products

[pig_sticker82]

Ok so here is a few questions I have wanted ask about hog hunting. When it comes to scents, attractants, and calls who uses what if any and what works.

I have used a hog squeal a few times in a place where I know there are pigs but never seem to get a response. Does anyone use anything other than feeders?

There are lots of products out there and of course they are all THE BEST, but which are worth the money and which aren't. Who has some input out there?????

corn is the best thing going...

Never had any luck with calling hogs.

I have made eating sounds and brought them in.

can't beat soured corn. Unless you can get your hands on a sow in heat maybe.

I was at academy last night at got some new boots on sale by the way, but anywho they seemed to have a really good selection of products for hogs. this past weekend we put out a mixture of wet corn, hogwild, with pig out on top and then came back in the morning and nothing touched it. We saw hogs less than 400 yd downwind of it that night!

I think the only pig call that works is the gunt call, use if busted up a herd and they can't see each other (tall grass) and you might call one to meet back up with its buddies. Otherwise they dont really work. (for me)

The corn works best for me and even then I may go a long stretch without seeing any.

We make a homemade bait and it works EVERY time.. get you some acorns, grind them up in a blender, throw em into a bucket, fill it up halfway... grab two containers of salt and dump it in there, and then pour big red in there till it floats and let it soak for a night, it'll smell like apples and you'll actually like the smell...just dump it out whole at a good spot and wait, they can't resist that smell of apples and love the acorns, or just do the old trick... and pour corn out in a bucket and soak it in diesel....they both work great...

Go to a supermarket in the am and ask for the old strawberries they have cleaned out of the produce department, peaches and plums too. Put in the sun to get them moldy/ sweet smelling. The hogs can't resist the smell of mushy strawberries. Maybe squirt whipped cream and sugar on top?

I use corn, beer and strawberry jello powder covered over by water. Let it soak for a week. Never fails.
On hog calls. Ive only had the squealer work when i bust up a heard or by blowing on it right after a shot at one. Most of the time you can get atleast one in the herd to come back in for a 2nd shot.

The only call I've ever had any luck with was a recording of my niece's show pigs eating.

I've had luck with a hog feeding frenzy tape.

put corn in a barrel with deisel then close the barrel and leave in the sun for abt a week......bring it to your place with some post hole diggers.......dig the deepest hole you can and pour the corn in and around it.......cover the hole back up with the dirt you took out.......if you do it in a wet area.....around a pond or stock tank odds are when you return you will have a hole that no 4x4 could make it through.......works like a charm for us in east texas.......
