Tie down a reporter and news crew in an open field....hogg will be bussed in before you can get set up. Don't get between hogg and the camera, you'll regret it.

Corn feeder electric fence to keep cow's out. Pig's go under the electric fence munch on corn cow's pout, unless you have unruly cow's then they tear up electric fence. Good luck!

It’s funny you asked the same thing I’m dealing with. I had the cows pinned on the far side of the ranch this week and put out several bags of corn soaked in Strawberry Fanta soda. The hogs just loved it and so did the cows. I had three young steers we missed when pinning moving pastures and they loved the corn-soda mix. I’m thinking of building a small pen out of cattle panels, cutting small openings in the bottom so the hogs can enter and keep the cattle out.
I dug a hole about 3x4 foot and filled with the corn-soda mix and broadcast some all over the area to get them to come in. Well the dam hogs were going crazy over it. I went out at 1030 Thursday night and even with the full moon I had 15 to 20 all around the cornhole. I snuck within 50 yards and took out the largest sow, about 250 pounds and three younger ones all around 100 pounds. I’m going back out in two weeks and will try to set up the pen around the cornhole. Since I had to turn the cattle back in that pasture. |

If it's dry, water works.
I've used big butts off of telephone poles, they like the creosote. Dead hogs (or any carcass) work well. You'd probably be better off spotlighting them at night. If you're trying to get rid of them, remember to shoot plenty! |

I've heard of soaking corn in diesel so that the crows and other wildlife don't mess with it. I'm not sure if it deters cows though.

Corn soured in bucket mixed with molasses, and you will have every hog for miles. You can not do it all the time, the coons love it too, but if I was scoping a new area this was my go to.
Edit reading is fundamental: You can make an exclusion in the pasture, just like a hog trap for catching the entire sounder. |

Soaking corn in diesel works to keep critters/cows off of it. Most cows anyway, always some that eat a little. Needs to soak for several days, not just 20 min. Otherwise rain will wash it off enough that calves will eat it, then get sick

I've used dry dog food in the past, though it does attract coyotes and coons. Diesel corn works, but you have to let it soak for a few days at least.
I used to have a source for peanut butter seconds from a place in GA that made it and the hogs would come to it like they were magnetized... but so would the fucking bears and we can't shoot bears in FL thanks to the fucking bear huggers.

Quoted:
So I have hogs in both of my pastures. I'm not a hunter but I carry a rifle in my truck and when I see them during the day, I shoot them. If I were to bait overnight and then come in before dawn to look for hogs in a specific spot (I have long rideaways I can look down and get shots on clearings) what would be the most effective? Corn is ineffective because my cows eat it up no matter how nasty it is. I've fermented for weeks and they still love it. |

Barb wire fence won’t work. You can use ) strands pulled tight as hell , and they’ll push through . Woven wire fence will help, but unless you bury the bottom better than 6 in , they’ll push under, if they want in. But it is much better than nothing

The easiest way to keep the cows out is to use the heavy wire panels. They're 16 or 20 foot long, you can use 4 to make a square, or bend two, or bend them into a circle. Attach them to a few t posts. If you're worried about calves getting hung up in there, leave all 4 corners open. If they're too stupid to find their way out, they are going to get killed on something else anyway.

PIG PIPE! that is the answer from other critters getting your corn and cows leave it alone. There are instructions on internet, but it is a PVC pipe with one end sealed with a cable or chain hooked to something. The other end of the pipe you put a screw off cap to fill the pipe with corn and drill holes down the pipe so the corn comes out. The pigs will roll the pipe and corn comes out, rutting it. Spread a little bit of corn around the pipe. Since it is anchored the pipe will go in circles as they roll it, it will make pig pipe circles in the grass.
Not my video, but what I found on internet https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t-s&p=pig+pipes+feeders#id=4&vid=733d8c0921b802f7cf31d2e8d2a13d3d&action=click We have used cables that were dog runs, but pigs chewed through it, use a good chain or cable. |

IMHO Hogs love peanut butter above everything else. If you bury some in a hole in the ground hogs will dig to China to get it.
So far only things I've seen hogs refuse to eat are raw potato and banana peel. |

Make a roller barrel or two, I’ll try to post a pic below. 35 or 55 gallon plastic barrel. Just a few 1/2” holes drilled here and there (not too many) figure out some way to tether to a chain or steel cable attached to a t-post or tree. Fill with 2 or 3 bags of corn. Once they find it they will spend hours wearing it out and cows won’t. And use a swivel somewhere in your attachment.
You can see two in this pic from one of my sets  Attached File |

So I got so much good advice here I want to update.
As I have a bunch of 4" PVC I plan to make a few pig pipes out of that. I will also bury some fermented corn and try some liquid bait called Pig Out from Academy. I am going to setup a game camera there also but I don't want to take mine off my front gate so plan to buy a new one with a built in viewer. Will report back with results. Thanks!!!!! |

We have a couple feeders on timers on our farm. Pigs come running like it's a dinner bell. You can walk out and sit down 5 minutes before it goes off.
