Favorite hog bait?

[cva34]

For traps Diesel just enough to wet and Corn for Hunt just corn.....Had decent luck with bunch of Burlap bags wrapped around tree base and few wraps of wire to hold it on and soaked with used Motor oil Trans oil or Hydrolic oil...They like to rub on it to get rid of Bugs I guess...

IMO, your just wasting your time making up different concoctions. I've tried pretty much all different concoctions and now for years have just stuck with straight corn. Pretty much every pig in Texas knows what corn is and will come to it but most of them have never smelled or tasted your specific concoction, they are just as likely to spook from as they are to come to it until they get used to it. I know the places I hunt, if I put something new out, the pigs will not eat for a day or two. Yet I can put corn out anywhere on my places and they will eat that night. Heck, even when I dump out moldy corn out of the feeder, they will not hit that same night, it always takes them a day or two before they hit it. This is why I always tell people, never put out a new type of bait and hunt over it right away.

Poured diesel on the corn in our trap. Its been 4 weeks and not one pig will go in the trap! They will eat the corn our feeder throws out side but won't go in.

Strange. I mix in bucket then dig hole and bury.

Sweet corn. Nothing else.

Don’t ever discount full oranges [emoji521], fresh or rotting.

I set up a trap for an owner a few years ago. Came back to get the herd I just knew I caught... Nada

Owner took it upon himself to add oranges in trap... that trap never caught in 2 weeks. And my traps catch!!!

I’ve tried everything you can buy or mix

I now only use corn mixed 50/50 with corn... works every time

Yep, seems every time I try something different, they quit coming to it. Plain old corn seems to work better then anything.

JPC for me--as in just plain corn.

Corn sprinkled with a little meth..

This! I scale mine back to 60/40 corn/corn. But 50/50 will work.

I think I’ve best luck with an 80/20 corn/corn mix.

JPC works for deer also.

We've had luck also with Acorn Rage on good mast years, we use the powder.
Otherwise, corn.
We've hauled down spent and soured brewers grain and it worked well.

As with most things hog related, if you are not using bait often, they initially are put off on it and leery.

If I throw spoiled corn in my traps, they won’t enter in for weeks. But once they get on it, and the smell has satisfied their belly, they get on it.

In Florida we have a big citrus crop obviously. Hogs eat oranges [emoji521] naturally. The traditional winter time is when oranges [emoji521] are ripe and picked. Lotsa oranges are dropped, run over or fall off trucks. Hogs are on them like stink on you know what. Why ? Because they know it’s a 3-4 month window.

So this time of year we always throw some spoiled citrus in the traps along with corn [emoji535]. Come April, we stop. We have used that molasses corn, it attracts deer more than hogs.

I don’t know what y’all naturally have in your fields that hogs garbage up on. But if y’all got a seasonal crop, you know animals natural tendency is to eat what will perish quicker, then get back to their staple food which in this case is rooting and bugs.
