High fellas , I am wandering if any thing has worked to lure in Mr. porker for any of you folks other than a pile of corn, other than feed that has to be placed in advance and maintained . I have called in a few boars with an old modified deer grunt call in years past but the success rate is pretty low . I am interested in lures that tickle the nose . Often my hunts are on short notice and I am hunting from a climbing stand where ever the sign may be and that often means hunting near beading areas during the daylight. I am looking for something that will get them to get curious , hungry or horny and come a looking!
Hi all, I work with a fellow who swears by this trick, he digs a deep hole and starts off with corn. Then pours some diesel on it, then a layer of dirt. Repeat until the hole is filled. Claims the hogs go wild digging it up. But around here in Oklahoma the hogs seem to be turning nocturnal, almost never see them out in the daylight. I guess I need to start saving for a night vision scope.
No offense to you, but your buddy don't seem too smart! I don't think I'd be pouring diesel in the ground! Not only horrible for the environment AND illegal, but I wouldn't want to eat anything that's been eating IT! Stick with something environmentally friendly, that won't kill other animals OR you!
When I was in TX we put out a pig pipe. Take a 8 foot section of 4" pvc. Cut it in half. Get two end caps and drill a hole in it. Get some cable and put through the hole and put a clamp on it so it can't be pulled back through. Glue the end caps onto the two 4 foot sections of pipe. On the other end of the pipes, glue a clean out on that has a screw out plug. Along the length of the pipe drill a few half inch holes. Take these assemblies to a piggy type of location with some t bars. Drive the t bar into the ground and wrap the cable around the bar and clamp it. Fill the pipe with corn by opening the clean out and replacing once filled. The pigs will smell the corn in the pipe and try to get to it. They will roll the pipe around on the ground and a few kernels will fall out of the holes drilled in the pipe. This will make a bag of corn last a long time and the pigs will keep rolling the pipe around in circles trying to get the corn. Make sure the t bar is in the ground good or the pigs might roll the pipe away.
If memory serves, this will make a 50 pound bag of corn last a week or so. If you fill it occasionally the pigs will get used to it and come and check it regularly.
This might not be what you want, and you can only use on private land, but it works pretty well. Filling once a week or so isn't too bad either. If you fill it a day or two before a hunt, you should be golden.
