"Hog Wild"?

[MCgunner]

Anyone ever try "Hog Wild"? It's a hog bait. I was thinking of getting a bag and trying it in one of my feeders, mix it with the corn. It's about 6 bucks a bag. Just wondering if it actually works or if it's a waste of money.

I use a package or two of strawberry jello to do what you are wanting to do for about 2 bux instead of 6 bux

Jello's on the shopping list. I've heard that before, I think. Good idea and worth a try.

I know soured corn is supposed to work, but souring it and putting it out can cost you your lunch.

It works, but like earlier poster said-jello work good.

MCgunner, you're right about it ruining your lunch. I don't sour it before I put it out. I just pour it out on the ground in a wet spot and let it sour on it's own. If you're in medium/heavy cover, the crows won't find it while it's still fresh to them. Usually, only the hogs will get it after it's soured. If a little of it sprouts, then just let it be and start racoon hunting the spot too!

Problem I got, if it's a problem... ...is any fresh corn gets ate by the deer before it can sour. Lotsa deer down there. But, the hog population seems on the climb, too. We should all have these problems, eh? It has rotted down there before under my feeder in wet spells.

What I could do is put it in some sort of covered pot to rot and dump it after it rots. However, the Jello thing sounds like the deal, let the feeder dispense it. The deer might be into Jello, too, since it's sweet. Some people eat the stuff, some shoot the stuff. If it works on hogs, I think I've found something useful to use it for.

Take a pair of post-hole diggers and dig about a 8 in deep hole. Dump your sour corn into the hole, and cover it back up. The hogs will find it and ruit it up. after the eat it all up keep putting the corn in the same area and you'll find yourself in " hog heaven".

Sounds like an expensive recipe, but I'm a big fan of shrimp and beer for the hunter, not the hunted. I have been satisfied with corn, hot water, sugar, and yeast in a 5 gal bucket. Usually hang a bucket ,with a top on it, off a fence post for a week to sour. Then dump in a post hole about 18" deep.

Well, I really hate to waste good beer. Old Milwaukee or Bud or Miller, maybe, but certainly NOT Fosters or Guinness or something decent.

Hog Wild seems to draw them in but only during nightime hours. I spread it around my lease and the next time I come the place is all wallowed and rooted up. I have heard that mixing corn with diesel fuel really brings them around but I haven't tried it yet.

The Hog Wild apparently attracts the deer as well.
