Default baiting hogs

i live in southern oklahoma and we have a good # of wild hogs i have really got into huning them w/ my bow and have been fortunate enough to take 4 w/ my bow last year. it is great because you can hunt them year round. my question is what is the best way to bait them in and keep em coming on a consistant basis. the one thing that i have found is they are very unpredictable.
thanks!!

Buy you some Hog Wild and corn and follow the instructions on the Hog Wild bag..... If you can't find Hog Wild use grape kool-aid and a 2 quart Mountain Dew on your corn.... They love either one... We have caught up to 11 in our trap at one time with these...

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.

well the epa wont like you but you can pour motor oil on the ground and they will wallow in it. also, I have been putting 25lbs of lard under my feeder with 2 bottles of syrup and a 4 lb bag of sugar. they sure like that stuff. tear the ground up. i had heard of the motor oil trick and was a little skeptical but it sure does work. i used old motor oil for the job.

I have heard also soak 5 gallon bucket of corn in diesel fuel and burry it under the ground. the hogs will tear it up also. I haven't tried that but plan to do so.

Pigs will eat just about anything that gives off a good smell. I don't know if this would work for wild pigs, but I can remember as a kid that my uncle had a pig farm and he used to go and pick up a small truck load of bananas that had gotten to ripe to sell. I swear, the pigs would murder their mothers to eat these bananas! So, it might work on wild pigs...good luck finding a truck load of free bananas LOL.

I use to go to Wonder Bread every Wed and pick-up a load of Feed Bread and
Twinkies. On the 4th day after 3day old bread they have to dump all of it.

Yeah Chuck, just don't get caught!In Green Swamp it's considered
a game animal. On private property, it's considered land owners property,
and can be hunted year round...day/night.
