hog baiting
something that i thought i'd share. you may have tried this before but we use this a lot hog hunting with great success. get some post hole diggers, dig a hole about two to three feet deep, fill it about 2/3 full with deer corn. it may take a while for the pigs to find but it does work. makes the hogs work for their food.

Same song but sour corn with beer. Also if you have a feed mill near you see if they have (I forget the name it goes by) strawberry powder.They use this in starting food for piglets and a little goes a long way.
You can also take a 55 gallon barrel drill holes in it (will take a while) a little larger than the corn. Take this out and put about 2 sacks of corn in it and trun it on its side. Its kind of fun to watch. Oh and lock the lid on it.

I've done the same. . . .works pretty good, the biggest animal will be the one with his or her head down in that hole. I dig that hole a little ways away from the feeder so as not to tear that area up to much. You can stalk real close when they are busy like that. Last year I took a 200lb boar this way. Crawled up to about 20 yards in the grass, whenhe finally looked up at me, gave a nice grunt and then I let him have it. Gets your heart going when the others start running around like a Chinese fire drill.

If you want to do a little less work and carry a few less things, we have a Sour Mash attractant in a 2 oz. misting bottle. That same potent odor without all the fuss. Check us out at www.razorbackoutfitters.com or click the link below.

when you fix the drum with the holes in it , take a chain and put it through the botton and put a swivel on a post with about 10 to 15 feet of chain. they will roll that drum around and around that post till they make a rut a ft. or two deep. fun to watch them roll that big old drum around that post.
