Title: anyone ever used old pecans for bait
Post by: westexasboys on October 22, 2009, 12:52:55 pm
We have a bunch of our milo fields getting tore up and we put a trap by a windmill waterhole on the edge of a milo field and baited it with old pecans which I didnt think it would work.  But a couple days later there was a sow and a lil boar in the trap.  I didnt think it would work considering they would have to come through the milo field to get to it but it did....anyone else ever used old pecans?

In my opinion hogs like pecans just as much as acorns and wild grapes if not more.  And forget about corn or milo a hog will walk past ten piles of corn to get to some pecans.  Never tried it but i'm sure it works good.

we harvest pecans and hogs love pecans about as much as they love a sow in heat lol
