[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1037218, member: 9675"] I get more kicks out of trapping hogs than anything I think. It is like a game, me vs. the hogs. Sometimes they outsmart me, sometimes I outsmart them. Sometimes I can tell when I get a big boar visiting the traps on a regular basis but he just won't go in the trap, so I have to change my methods or bait up to see what he likes, doesn't like. So far the bait I have had the most luck on is corn splashed with diesel fuel. I was soaking creep feed in beer, kool aid and a little sugar, but recently I have not been able to get it to sour to save my life. I guess the temps have been too cold to get it to turn or something. Just this week I noticed a bucket getting a little stanky, but for the most part it just sits there. Deer and other critters kept getting into plain corn too much, and the pigs didn't seem too interested in it. As soon as I started adding a little diesel fuel, the deer left it alone and I started catching pigs. Not only did I start catching more, but there was a significant increase in pig traffic. Only guessing, but maybe it was the smell of the diesel that drew them in more. Who knows. All the tree huggers might balk at the thought of throwing out diesel, but you use very little. And even if the pigs eat it, they don't stay alive long enough to let it build up in their system and effect the taste of the meat. They meet the business end of my .22 the next morning. To keep them coming in I dug a hole a couple of feet deep and layered corn and dirt in there. They seemed to come in nightly and root around a bit, even if they didn't make it into the trap. Anyway, that is my 2 cents on pigs. Just get after em, you ain't gonna kill a single one sittin in the house. Hunt them, trap them, snare them, run em over... [/QUOTE]
