Trailcam Hogs

My daughter and I will be heading out this weekend to hopefully get a hog or two. I have a feeder up and they have been coming to it pretty often. If anyone knows what else we can use to bring them in, any input would be appreciated. I have heard diesel on the corn.....Hogwild...pigout. What has worked best for you? Here are a few pictures the camera has picked up of some of the hogs tearing up our stand.

We need some of that action here in the NW, I think we have some here in Oregon but need to find out where to hunt them. Sounds like fun.

out by prineville... on private land.

They caused all kinds of trouble a few years ago... really tore stuff up.

The locals like to hunt em, and it might be hard to get em eradicated

Congrats to your daughter and her deer! I had the opputunity to hunt on a ranch in Laredo about 12 years ago. Got my whitetail early in the day, then they put me up in a tripod overlooking a hog wallow. I fell asleep :shocked: and woke back up after dark! I sat there for a couple more hours with strange snorting noises going on around me .... till my buddies came and got me . The truck had run out of tranny oil and they had to walk back to the ranch to get more. Are those Russian boar or Havelinas in the pics?

Good Luck!!

It seems whatever your using right now seems to be working.

Take a scatter gun and get the whole flock.

Those are the former (or a hybrid of the domestic decendants). Here's a pic of my buddy Hog King with a Javalina or Collared Peccary (notice the ring around the neck):

Tallride,

I have a place in Cisco, Tx. and hunt hogs quite a bit.

Soak 1/2 bag of corn in buttermilk for a few hours. Dig a hole with post hole diggers about 2.5-3' deep. Fill the hole back in with dirt and corn mix, pack the dirt to make the hogs dig. Sprinkle some sort of berry flavored jello and more corn around the area. You should do this early in the morning in several areas that hogs have been spotted or and been travelling through. Come back late evening or a night with a spotlight. They will stay on the bait until they root all of the corn out of the hole. Most of the times you can get within bow range, if you stay upwind.

Good luck and let me know how you do. I will be in Cisco after Christmas for a little Whitetail and Turkey action. How's the weather?

Texan, the weather has really cooled off the past couple weeks. Most days it is 50's/60's and getting down to upper 30's at night. We are 15 inches below average for rain and the animals are hitting any water source you can find pretty hard. Here is a picture of a javelina I took a while ago and a bobcat from the same area. Only three weeks ago my daughter and I missed a mountain lion due to a missfire from my shotgun. Next time it won't be so lucky I can assure you.
