Default RE: Baiting for hogs, need suggestions.

First, I'll say that my best results have come from using plain corn and Hog Wild. You can smell that Hog Wild from a few hundred yards away so ya know the hogs will pick up on it. I recently tried a new mix and have had pretty good results. I fill a bucket half full of corn, add two beers, and one or one and a half gallons of buttermilk. Cover it and let it set in the sun for a few days. Suprisingly, the smell was not too bad, but I haven't let mine soak for more that 4 days. It had almost a sweet smell to it. I say half full because the first time, I only left about an inch of room in the bucket and the swelling corn popped the lid off.
Disperse it however you feel. I like to put some in a hole or a wallow and then spread some around on the ground and even try to elevate some to help the wind carry the scent.
Good luck and yeah, let us know how you did.
