Hog bait question

[Bazo]

I have some old sour corn that I have been baiting a trap with for over a week and not a single hog.

Did the ol big red and watermelon jello mix with one batch and baited with vanilla another time and nothing. Cows came in to check it out after the vanilla.

Is it possible that the sour corn is just too bad and they don't like it? Or have they just not found it yet?

[Fishndude]

I'd bet they just haven't found it yet. I've never used soured corn that the hogs didn't gobble it up.

Ok I will stick with the ol nasty corn for a while.

There's alot of acorns on the ground right now. After the couple freezes they'll tear it up!

I've not had any better luck with anything besides just plain corn. Left the top off the feeder in my pen trap and it rained. You know what a mess that was a week later when I went to check--dumped the corn out in the trap expecting all kinds of traffic. A month later, still laying on the ground, and this feeder is 50 yds away from the one where I shoot them under the lights, and the prevailing winds blow from the sour corn pile to the other feeder. I've put sweet feed, cattle cubes, dry dog food, and lots of other stuff in my traps and nothing catches them like plain old corn.

Try strawberry koolaid, we just always pour it on top of corn inside trap. I've also had better luck with traps that have a small divider wall, by door and you put the food around corner. And make sure that you put a piece of rubber under corn or the can root around and get it.

I use koolaid (any flavor) and corn mix.

I have same prob...I think there is still to many pecans and acorns....there is corn piled up under the feeder and there is rooting sign and tracks a hundred yds away behind some round bails of hay...eventually they will eat it...

Used motor oil as well

[stickerpatch59]

there is no corn that is too rotten for hogs. they just haven't found it yet.

Did you put your trap in an area that the hogs are currently in??? I've never had much luck just setting a trap out and hoping to draw in hogs.

[4dog]

Im goin with the acorn theory...yup...thats the prob.

[Fishndude]

I have a lot of pecan trees. Maybe you do too? They love em!

[Bazo]

Finally got some in the trap. Any guesses on their weight?

Soak your corn in diesel.
