LIVE from the saddle 2023

You should ratchet that feeder to the tree in which next it sits.
 
Looks like a good setup. CQC for sure in that thickness. Are they like deer and have a regular travel route you’re going to ambush them at or are they more random….. not sure how one hunts hogs they seem very nomadic to me.
 
This is super urban hunting..... These are city pigs and I'm sure they act a little different than the pigs out on public hunting lands....

The tactic to hunt them in situations like this is easy.... Dump a butt ton of corn and wait 20yds from the bait pile...hahaha
When I was hunting hogs on that lease we used to make a sour corn mash and that really brought them in. Fill a 5 gallon bucket about 80% full of corn and then pour in enough water to cover the corn and put a lid on it and put it out in the sun for a few days. We also added grape Cool aide and any fruit rinds we could get. That stuff ferments and they can smell it a mile away.

Everybody has their "special concoction".....I have heard from multiple people that kill plenty of pigs that the best attractant is to dump used motor oil on a stump. I'm not sure I'd be eating those pigs but for straight eradication they swear by used 15w40. It is so rare for me to get opportunities like this I've never experimented.

One thing that I found that works great is a product called Kreso D. Mix a small amount with used motor oil and paint it on the side of a trash tree where you can get a shot. The hogs will rub that tree mercilessly and cut it up with their tusks. The Kreso D is Creosote and smells just like a new telephone pole in August. They love that smell and want the creosote to kill bugs. Don't get any of the Kreso D on anything you don't want to permanently smell like a light pole. The tree pictured below was painted in oil and Kreso D and had tar from a tube applied to it. They loved that tree.

This is another trick we used to use for hogs to continually visit a spot. It is a roll tube. It consists of a 4 foot section of PVC pipe with a screw cleanout on one end to fill it and a cap on the other. Attached to the cap in the center is a steel I bolt with a small quick link. The cap is attached to the pipe with a couple of screws so it can be removed if needed. Along the length of the pipe are 2 holes about 3/4 inch diameter and offset from each other. Any more holes than this will be too many. In the end of the pipe with the pipe cap is a small compartment made from a 1 pound Folgers coffee can cut in half and shoved down in the pipe to form a chamber. This chamber is filled with a handful of small smooth rocks and the pipe cap put on.

The whole thing is then attached to a small tree via a 3 foot steel cable attached at one end to the quick link and to the tree with a big loop around its base. You want to have enough room around the tree where the tube can be pushed all the way around the tree. There will be a 10 foot diameter bald spot on the ground where they push that tube around.

Fill the tube with shelled corn and pour some on top. The hogs will find the corn and eat what they can and figure out pretty soon if the roll that pipe corn will come out. They will send that tube around and around that tree. Here is the best part. After they get all the corn out, the gravel in that little chamber at the end will still rattle when they roll it and they will think there is still corn to get out. The little chamber of rocks will keep them around for several days after they eat all the corn.

That's pure genius!
