EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

that last post got me thinking what makes the best hog bait? cheap, easy and effective

Insights hog trap. It is like candy syrup.  Skittles if you can find them cheap

Corn in a bucket 6 pack cheap beer let set week or so dump it. Diesel corn works good. Sour corn all ways a good one. Sweet feed is very good to

 thanks judge, whats diesel corn?

skittles huh!? howd you figure that one out?

I didn't a buddy of mine told me he was trying everything possible to catch trap smart hogs.  I didn't think he was serious then a few months later found the insights stuff and it tastes just like skittles melted. Has worked well for me over corn

If it looks like a trap and smells like a trap, trap shy hogs won't go in it. To catch trap shy hogs you will have to camouflage your trap with naturally occurring things like leafy branches woven in the wire till the hogs don't know it is a trap, put enough dirt on the bottom so their feet can't touch the wire on the bottom and an added thick layer of leaves helps too. Works best with a trap that has a front and back door and tall enough trap so you can have no top on it. The trap shy hogs might go in it better if they can see all the way thru it and the sky above. But then again you may never get them to go in, no matter what you use for bait. The best trap is one your friends  could walk by and not see, because it looks natural. The reason for the diesel soaked corn is hogs will eat diesel soaked corn but coons and deer won't eat it. Judge, I'm with you on the soured corn. I use it for the initial attractant, they will come from miles away to get a belly full of sour corn. But once you get them there dry corn right out of the sack will keep them there. When I trap or catch hogs to be relocated, I will put them in a large pen and feed them in a trap. When they go in it and get caught, a little electricity will go a long ways in trap breaking them, about two times in the trap and they will starve to death before they will go in a trap again. I guarantee you,  you won't be trapping these hogs again.

Diesel corn is corn sprayed with diesel. Other animals will leave it alone, but hogs for some reason dont mind the fuel smell

I love this website!!! I learn new hunting stuff everyday on here :)

That hog trap number 2 is like reduced red skittles! Won't lie I have tried it and it's pretty dang tasty!

i don't know about the skittles for hogs but that deer cocain ain't worth a crap. I snorted a bunch of it and didn't even see a deer last season.   

BAHAAAAAA!!!   Im sure you aint the only one (:

What about that black gold, heard a couple people say it was hard to beat.

heres a few things we do here, all of it varys in effectiveness depending on how hungry the pigs are -

1. just plain grain - use something they don't have access to now e.g. feed them wheat if they are eating standing sorghum
2. soak the grain with mollasses and water
3. soak with red cordial (coolaide)
4. vanilla essence
5. if the pigs are used to eating meat dry soaking the grain with a handful of dymanic lifter (fowl poop fertiliser)
6. in some areas people use sugar cane / bananas
