RE: baiting hogs
I built a feeder out of a 55 gallon drum with a moultrie motor on the bottom. I fill it with corn and let it spread 4 lbs each cycle with the theory that hogs just cant eat enough! Hawg wild works great, but is $6-7 a bag. Powdered kool-aid mix as mentioned before works great. I also like red cream soda or "Big Red". I buy the walmart brand or HEB brand to save money. I just pour it on the ground around the feeder. The best hunting we have found has been at night under a full moon. It is more like dove hunting than hog hunting.
Congrats on getting those with a bow! I cheat and use a 30-06.
