| Just got permission from a land owner to hunt hogs on his place. But there are cows inside the field we will be hunting. So I want to bait the hogs to keep them coming in but most anything put out for the pigs the cows will eat. Any suggestions. |

Hold a hawg makes some bait that will repel most all animals except piglets....has carrion in it....just sprinkle it over the corn.
I soak my corn in diesel. Pigs love it and will roll around wherever the diesel is. Same with creosote.if you can get your hands of an old creosote timber, or better, a 5 gallon bucket of creosote, stand it up like a fence post and leave it at least 3 foot high or higher..keep it covered in creosote. hogs love to rub on this and will keep them in your area. ETA.....as you fish take the scraps and through them out for the pigs. Same for table scraps and old leftovers. Grape koolaid powder works good to. Edit x2....Archived Thread |
| We had a pesky bunch of cows on our old lease...had to put up small barbed wire fences around the feeders to keep the cows from not only destroying them but to also keep them from hanging out nearby and running off game. The one time I witnessed cows there when pigs showed up the pigs didn't mind much though...but deer didn't come if cows were around. |

Take some post hole diggers, dig down 3 or 4 feet, fill the hole with soured corn or whatever soured feed you have and cover it with 4 inches of dirt.
They will root it up and the cows will not. You will also know where to exactly look for them in the field when they show up. |

rotten corn. take corn, but in barrel and add some water or beer and cover, set in heat for a week or so and let get good and rotten. Piggies will go nuts for it. Don't waste good beer, you don't need to use it. I grew up cleaning out plenty of grain carts combines and grain trucks that all had fermented grain. If you want to add anything put sugar in it to speed things up. I never had any luck with diesel corn for bait. Best luck I had was soured soybeans and soured deer protein pellets with raspberry jello powder sprinkled over the top of both. |

Any suggestions. how did you go about finding a land owner and getting permission? would like to do the same... |
Hogs will eat it cows and deer won't.

Here is something a little different.
Take a couple of 5 gallon plastic buckets w/ lids and fill with corn. Put any kind of seafood scraps on top and mix in. shrimp hulls, spoiled shrimp, or fish skins and skeletons. Spread a package of bread making yeast on top, one cup of sugar...then put water on it. The yeast will make it sour real fast. Be sure to cover and once a day open the lid to "burp" the gases so pressure doesn't build up. Bury it in a 2' deep hole.....they will find it!!! The seafood has a smell that really gets the hogs to rooting. Sometimes they will dig down 3' + , long after the bait is gone and they are going after the "juices" have soaked down in the ground.

| I ended up soaking the corn in diesel. Well we went out Saturday night before dark and put out about 5 lbs of corn. The cows didn't touch it at all. We didn't see any hogs but we did hear them across the fence. I probably will dig a hole and bury some Thursday and return Saturday to see if they are finding it. In the mean time I am souring some for the weekend also. |

If you do end up digging holes...be aware that the cows could end up breaking a leg in them. Something the landowner will not be happy about. Exactly. I'm sure burying some corn would work great but I'm concerned with cattle. I have not had time to check the corn that was put out Saturday either. But hoping the pigs find it. Update by Friday. |

This excercise will give you a hands on approach in a surreal Barbaric way. It will also help with the cardio.
Disclaimer: This is a theoretical display of text. No representation is made that the quality of Hog Eradication is superior than the hog eradication of other Hog eradicators. I am not responsible for any harm that comes to you as a result of performing the method of Hog eradication listed below. This is a theoretical Hog eradication method. Tools/supplies needed: Post hole diggers Large rocks similar to rip rap like you see in drainage ditches along a highway Bagged Field Corn Tequila (cheap stuff, the more the better) Waterproof landscaping plastic Louisville slugger Instructions: Find a place next to or just inside a field where hogs frequently visit. Preferably away from a vehicle road. Dig a 4' (four feet) deep hole as you would to place a gate post. This can be as much as 12" wide. Push the plastic in the hole to line it. Starting with corn, fill the hole 6". Saturate the corn with tequila. More is better Next, place enough large rocks in the hole to cover the layer of corn. Pour another layer of corn, then tequila, then rocks and so on till the hole is full. Cover the hole with a mixture of tequila corn and dirt. Leave the area. Give it a day and check the area from a distance. If you see Hogs still walking, come back later. Monitor the area until you see Hogs laying down. These will be drunk Hogs and most likely will have made a crater trying to get past the rocks. Get a good stretch of your arms and legs.. Best to be limber. Approach with caution holding the Louisville Slugger. Best to have a friend with video camera or have one on a tripod. This will be something you will want to review when you are in your golden years. The rest is up to you. My imagination has taken us this far. Take use of yours for the rest. |

Not.......(gasp)....sure if....(catches breath)......serious! (Wipes tears away) I couldn't help but ROFL'n. this I may try just....well, because I can. Finally found a good use for Jose. |

Cheeks it looks like you have some experience trying to get a pig to make weight for a stock show. We used to shove a beer bong down their throat and pour a case in them.
As far as the cows stepping in a hole that has been dug with post hole diggers I would not worry about it, the hogs have to root it up just like they normally would. All it is going to leave is a deep wide wallow not an 8" wide hole that goes three to four feet deep. |
