I read somewhere - I don't know where, and haven't had occasion to try this - but apparently hogs love lime green Jell-o. Sprinkle a packet in with your shelled corn. Also, use a post-hole digger to dig 3-4' down, as narrow as you can. Fill the post hole with shelled corn dosed with Jell-o powder, they'll go nuts (and take time) digging it back out, instead of just slurping up corn on the ground.

Did this in Fl. They could smell it and brought it right up. We used the tropical fruit (?).
 
Bad shooting this morning fellas. Missed a large sow completely but did hit a little football size 1. It expired somewhere in this area of chest to head high grass. I now it's in there somewhere cause I can smell it but the grass is so thick u can't even see ur feet. Grid searched a little half hearted and didn't find the tiny little thing.

May be able to sneak out again before the wind switches
 
I love my old Alice pack. It has hauled many a creature out of the woods. I bought it after seeing a video by Warren Womack years ago about quartering and packing and I can't tell you how much that method freed me up to hunt deep. Talk about a game changer!

While I am jealous of seeing a pic of ANY pack with meat in it, you guys can keep the Alice packs. I used one about 10-15 years ago before I learned about pack suspension and all that... Man that pack was never comfortable, with or without a frame. It did haul a lot for me, more as an AT hiker than a hunter at that stage of my life, and never really broke or wore out (other than a few of the snaps, but that was more user error/crushing them than "wear") but I prefer the modern vertical packs over that floppy round lump on my back 100% of the times I go out now that I've got some other options.
