Deer Bait that Feral Pigs dont Like
I have been using corn for about two weeks in front of my trail cam. In north alabama corn works great but down here in south alabama all i get is feral pigs. I get between 500 - 600 pics a day. They easily go through 50 lbs of corn in one night. I need something to bait deer that dont attract pigs. Any suggestions?

Hogs are the biggest problem facing all hunters that I can think of. They will eat anything, including everything that a deer will eat. Building a fence using the short hog panels is probably the best bet, although a BIG hog will try to tear it down to get to corn. I see hog rubs on trees sometimes, waist high or higher, that are a little unnerving as to the size of the hogs.

Try the deer pellets and see if the deer eat them, they are alfalfa based and a little too hot for pigs. They dont particularly care for em in florida. Sadly the deer on my lease dont care for em as much as corn though. Soy beans will work for a little while but the pigs will eventually start eating them too.
