I used to just soak the corn in water until it was soft. That's how we baited our traps. I didn't worry about stink. Hogs eat the heck out of it.

Two years ago, my landowner wanted to plant corn in the food plots (just over a half acre). He thinks if we have corn we'll have more deer! He's the landowner... I just do the work for the hunting privilege! I planted 300 pounds of corn with my tractor. Disced and dragged it in. It started to pop in about 4 days. On day 5 (rather the night between 4 and 5) the hogs came. In one night they consumed every single dad-gone piece of corn that I had broadcast, and I mean every one! Not a single corn plant remained. Later, when we saw the "herd" it was a mama sow and 7 shoats. I can't imagine how those few pigs turned up so much soil in one night. I have always hunted hogs on the ranches where I have worked as they destroy the patures (you Texans ALL know that), but I never considered how FEW hogs can destroy so very much. I always figured we had been visited by every hog in the county!
