RE: baiting
They can show up as soon as the first evening you put it out. One thing though. It's better to put out a little on a consistent basis thanlarger amounts on a random basis. Whe you start, mix something with a strong sweet odor with the corn. Once the hogs start to feed there regularly, you can just go with plain corn.
Hogs are smart and they'll figure out the schedule real fast. We'vegotten pictures of hogs coming into an established bait site just 15min afterwe refilled the feeder.
