guaranteed hog bait...takes some time though..5 gallon bucket with lid..fill with corn..4 packs any berry kool aid...fill about 1/2 full of malt liqueur..let it sit till you open it and gag..needs to be shaken up and turned once a week...after the 1st time you gag, wait another week..usually stinks faster in the summer..the heat?
today...go get some hog wild from the store...go scouting and find where they are rootin at ..i e lots of tilled dirt and holes in the ground..30 hogs ..shouldn't be hard to find...sprinkle hog wild all in it..make a blind at this time..some thin off the ground and down wind...they prolly smelled ya thats why ya seen em running across the way..they are blind as a bat but can smell better than other animals..imo...to make up for eye sight. if your usin a bow, dont try anywhere in the front of em, they basically have armor plating in the chest area..head shots with a 223 /22-250 are the best.
