I've got a question for you swine slayers out there.
First let me say that I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times but I'm gonna ask anyway.Bait for hogs,what's a good one besides plain old corn(which does indeed work)I'm looking for something else.So come on boys give up your recipes

Soured corn works best...
No secret mix.. just pour some in a bucket fill with water put a lid on it and set in the sun.. if it melts the paint off your house when you open it, it's ready..
I also add some strawberry jello to it for added smell.. Drives hogs crazy.
I like to bury it several feet in the ground keeps them coming back and trust me they will dig it all up.
I have also used soured milo, it works. rotten potatos, anything that smells bad.
Corn mixed with diesel works good too, and keeps other animals away. ( sounds stupid, but other hog hunters will agree with me)

I use to disturb the ground a bit and then sprinkle Jello mix over the dirk. The hogs would root it up pretty good. I've tried peanut butter and they didn't even touch it.
Why do you not want to use corn?

Jeff, I like your signature!! I have to deal with engineers so I completely understand. I would like to add that architects also drive me crazy. As a senior project manager owners Rep. on multi-million dollar construction jobs, I have to really ask myself, what the heck did they teach them in college.
I can say one thing about them, the are consistent, consistently costing me money on changes orders. However I do have a great MEP enginner.
