Hog Hunters- you may want to try this

[oleheat]

A buddy of mine told me a couple of weeks ago told me about how well using "chops" (crushed corn feed) works for attracting wild hogs.

Well, I put some out this past Saturday over about a 1/2 acre area at my camp, and yes- it worked. When I went back to check on Sunday, they had absolutely torn the area up.

I was told they can pick up the smell of the crushed corn from a much greater distance than regular whole corn, and after what I saw, I have no reason to doubt it.

If you're into still hunting for some wild pork- you might want to give chops a try......

as soon as it gets a little cooler, the boy and I would like to shoot a hog or two. we just need to find a place that we can hunt very occasionally, maybe 2-3 times a year. I'll keep this in mind, thanks.

Add some Big Red soft drink and let it ferment, works well in Texas.

I would like to do this also. Would be my first time hunting.

This is the first I have heard of "Big Red". I will give it a try.

I hear they like it if you mix in grape kool-aid.

grape drank? must be the darker ones that favor that.

rice bran works well too. I had a sow bury her nose in the stuff and roll all around in it. It looked like she won the lottery!

I could be wrong, but I think that's illegal. Don't quote me.

What is illegal? A hog isn't even wildlife.

Baiting certain game is illegal. I know that for a fact. However, I made it clear that I wasn't sure about feral hogs. I THINK baiting feral hogs is illegal. I could be wrong.

I've never checked.. but you can bait Deer. I would assume you can bait an "outlaw quadruped."

 

[Kook]

absolutely legal. Just don't be hunting any migratory birds anywhere near it

 

[charlie12]

You don't want to hunt baited birds for sure.

 

[RickyT]

I know some people that soak corn in diesel

Or Turkey's

I'm wrong again. I can't find anywhere where it says baiting is illegal. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

Everyone has their own recipe for hog bait-- many of them are pretty wild concoctions.

Never heard of using Big Red either, but I have heard of grape "drank"/Kool Aid being effective.

It's not illegal- unless you're thinking of a WMA.
