Grain baits to attract pigs for shooting

[Oldbloke]

Soaking the corn in diesel is good. brings them in real quick,

You are joking of course.

Well if I were a betting man I would bet he is taking the pi55.

No mate not having a lend of you, its very common practice on hog feeders in the states

What's the theory behind it AB?

[Member-Deleted]

the theory, according to Mr Google, is that it stops other wildlife from eating the bait, but pigs [hogs] aren't too picky

this is a photo of what I was using here in vic filled with 10 kg of oats at a time, having some in a bucket of water sent a beer sort of smell that did attract them
some of what the others have said I have heard about as well as the diesel
another one is to make a muddy mess with some old sump oil apparently the pigs like to roll in it I have not tried it

Hi Marksman,
That's a pretty grainy pic of the oinkers considering the bait feeder doesn't look like it's too far off, and is pretty clear.
Any idea why the oinkers are so fuzzy ?

[marksman]

it was raining at the time,
I contributed that the oats giving off a beer smell as well as the bucket of water soaked oats getting them to come to the bait
I recon beer slops form a bar system cleanout would be good
here's one of a different night but not raining as hard

Ahaaaa,,,,, that explains it.

Pigs will eat anything, they aren't fussy at all, that pig I shot the other day would be pretty much devoured by now I'd imagine (must go for a drive and check it out) but all the others have been munched within days so no doubt this big ol boy would have gone the same way.

Someone was telling me the other day about a lady who fell over in her pig pens or something like that, anyway, they ate her!
