Tips and tricks to attracting and keeping hogs on your spots

[Goose87]

I know I've seen this subject come up before, but it won't hurt to do it again. I'm always up for learning new ways to keep hogs coming to it staying in your property so lets hear y'all's ideas. Here's mine I took a 4" pipe and drilled holes all around and up and down it just big enough corn can fall through when rolled. I then fastened one end to a t-post so the hogs wouldn't riel it off. When field with corn the hogs can roll it around and it will drop some corn out but not a lot. Saves a lot if corn and keeps the hogs in your area longer leaving more scent. Once I have hogs coming to it pretty regular I then start taking my pups over there.

My other one I took some 4" pipe and fixed a cap on both ends that I could get on and off but would stay on while hanging in a tree. I filled the pipe with those whit oil absorbent rags and pulled one through a hole I drilled in the end kind of creating a wick like the artificial scrape makers used for bucks I then poured burnt motor oil in the pipe slowly so the rags would have time to soak it up and hung it from a tree and dug a small wallow up under it to create a place for hogs to wallow.

We do pretty much the same thing. We take 35 gallon plastic barrels and drill half inch holes all over and run a rope all the way through it and tie both ends off. It does save a lot of corn and makes them stay at the feeder for a longer period of time

scrap carpet soaked in used motor oil and wrapped around a pine tree then tied to the tree with old panel or 9 wire will attract hogs, we did this for years in addition to corn on our old lease, once they find it they tend to return to the rub, it helps knock the bugs off of them and seemed to work pretty good for us.

Another thing we would do is bring post hole diggers and did the deepest/ narrowest hole possible and fill it with sour corn and anything sweet, old beer, kool-aid or tang mix, old fruit etc etc then cover the hole back up and drop some sour corn on the ground.......when they find it they will return constantly for days.........just make sure you do this off the beaten path or you will end up with rootin so deep that u can get a buggy stuck in it lol.

haven't done either of these in quite some time, we used to do it all the time when I was younger and didn't own dogs so that we had something to shoot after deer season was over. killed alotta hogs using those methods growing up.


O and I may have misread and/or missed it but when you make those rolling feeders be sure to put a couple pounds of pea gravel or rock of some sort that is bigger than the holes you drilled, the scent of corn with stay in the pipe after they have eaten it all and the sound of something still in the pipe will keep the hogs coming back for a little while after the corn is all gone.

We just set up two pig pipes last weekend, good thread you got going here buddy.
Another thing I did was set my deer feeder to throw after dark , gets dark at 7 so I put it to thrown at 6 pm-7pm-8pm-9pm-10 pm for 1 second. This keeps the hog close by because they know the feeder is gonna throw again.
