Watched your video last Fri. Made the bait Sat. Put it out yesterday at 5pm. At 3am, for the first time in 10 years that I know of, I walked out to my blind and had 8 hogs already there. As silly as this sounds, this stuff works! No questions, if and or butts! Ty fellas! - North TX hunter
That’s so cool! So glad it worked! Hog hunting is THE BEST!!!! Thanks for watching!
@@westtexashuntingguys Bro, can you tell me the recipe ratio? , how many catties of corn, how much water needs to be added, and what is the bottle in your mobile phone, how many kilograms,
😂
😮😂
Try to make so of this . Mine has been siting for a month in the garage and smells like a winery but not sour or rotten. What’s the deal
Hogs really do love strawberry. It's my mother-in-law's favorite
😳😳😳
My mother inlaw loves anything that tastes like D. Or smells like hypocrisy.
😂😂😂
Better hope your wife dont read that.lol
@@steeledowning You win the internet with that comment. I got a good belly laugh with that one!!
I made two buckets full… just strawberry soda, sugar, yeast, strawberry jello and corn
Poured half a bucket out at 2pm
8:30pm I had about 20+ hogs roll in
Wife and I both got one
I still have a bucket full… it’s about a month old now
Waiting to use it because acorns are absolutely everywhere right now and nothing is coming to feeders
I also added about a 6pack of old Milwaukee beer
Nasty shit my dad had in his cabinet
Heck ya!!!!!
Loved the video, you guys cracked me up pouring that concoction out haha. Also, thank you for sharing the ingredients.
Just watched your video, very similar to a mix I make over here in Australia,
Corn,molasses,yeast,red cordial,water.
Very simple and effective, pretty sure it works all over main thing needed is sugar, corn and yeast
I’ve tried lots of different concoctions with sour corn and jello but for some reason never thought about Hawaiian Punch. 😂
Great video guys, can’t wait to try out the “Saucey” mixture.
GOOD LORD!! I was about to die watching the last bit of this !! That was great!! More and that and you will get more view for sure.
😅😅
I appreciate it guys worked really well for us definitely will use again keep up the great content
Great! Thank you!!!
I just got stationed in Guam and am going to hunt the hogs out here… never hunted them before so decided to have a boring informational video on baiting but I was absolutely loosing my shit at the end with the gagging😂😂😂 hilarious shit guys! Happy hunting to you two
Hahahaha- thanks for watching!!!
This does work, 1st time I did this was over 30 years ago, It worked within 2 hours, works great also for catfish chum.
Thank you! This was very informational and helpful. We will definitely be trying this at our house.
annnnd then I watched the rest of the video......lol!!!!!!!!!
@@toniarobertson1906 😂😂😂😂
Tonia are you trying to attract wild hogs to your house?
A friend and i used to ferment stuff like this with old beer and some cheap alcohol , then go out and dig a hole with a post hole shovel and pour it in. Later that night, the hogs would come and eat and dig and eat and dig until they got drunk and passed out. We would head out early the next morning, and there they would be passed out beside the hole. Pow Pow Pow
I’ll be trying this later this weekend. I’ll keep it Texas AF and throw a Lone Star beer in my mix. Good video!
Perfect!!!! 😂😂😂
The beer will actually work fine in place of the yeast.
Y’all took my recipe!!! Haha I have a video basically making the exact same thing, it works like a charm though! Killed many hogs over it, also good for trapping them. Good video!
Is that right??? Hahaha- it’s an oldie but a goodie!!! It definitely always brings the hogs in for us! Thanks for watching!
Need to add fruity pebbles
Very informative, thank you! Also thanks for me almost dying from laughter at you gagging! 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I’ve used Kool-Aid strawberry powder with water and poured the cheapest beer instead of yeast. It has worked the same and kept the water levels up also.
Awesome recipe
Cordless drill with paddle wheel will mix up pretty quick and easy 🤙🏻
Good call!
I use an auger and pour it in the hole. Keeps em coming back for a long time. I use a 35gallin barrel. 50lbs of sugar some dark beer and yeast. About 4-5 bags of corn. Mix up everything and then add the corn. Put about 6” of water over corn so it doesn’t soak it all up. Use a bucket with holes to get it out so liquid stays and fill it back up with corn
I just mixed up your recipe and can't wait for it to start fermenting! I hope it works on the wild boars in Europe😁🐗. Thanks for the advice and I'll let you know the results! greetings from Croatia

Awesome! Good luck!!!
Da li radi na našim svinjama?
Update? How well did it work for you? I am in Italy and plan on trapping cinghiale (with a license) next year during our hunting season so want to attract them to a certain spot well in advance.
Hey Guys,
I made this concoction earlier in the week and put it out on a Thursday morning. It was cold so it didn't ferment all the way but it still smelled ripe. Friday morning around 3:00 AM the hogs came in and ate every last bit. They kept digging and digging through the 6" hole I made until there was a trench. They then came in the next night and I was able to take one down. So, this works very well! Making a new batch (Grape flavor this time) for next weeks hunt, but this time keeping it in warmer conditions.
Love it!!!! Nice work y’all!!!
How did grape turn out?
@@NLARA01 Grape worked out great. They came back again. I switched to another fruit punch which has worked well for the last couple of months however, the grape soda just went on sale again and I am now going back to that again.
@@oldmanadventuring awesome to hear, I will have to try this next
Made two buckets and currently fermenting on day 3 now...looking forward to see how this works.
Awwwww yaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Had to help empty a large outdoor freezer that had failed in the high summer heat. It had been setting for at least a few weeks before anyone noticed the smell. It was full of meat products, fruits and vegetables that had thawed, fermented and become juicy. The odor was like something from Hell. We completely filled a large roll-off dumpster with the contents and no one complained about the horrendous stink. Why?? We all smeared Vicks VapoRub under our noses and that easily masked the odor so we could focus on getting the job done. Give it a try!
🤢🤣😅🤣
I used to use my own organic trash back in the old days but that looks great
Nice!
That last part has me laughing. I had to subscribe.
😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂 “it’s on my hand” Great video, thanks for making this! I just came up on an opportunity to hunt some hogs in Ranger, TX on a piece of land I was granted permission on. Can’t wait to do some broadhead testing with y’all’s recipe! I’ll also be sure to grab some chapstick to rub under my nose when I go to the store haha.
How did it go?
@@jesses517 Thanks for following up! Shoot, June ended up being a busy month with the fiance and kids. Never made it out, but I'm trying to shoot for a weekend here in July.
@@sthompson447 ahh I understand seems every time I bait I have to be gone for a week. Happy hunting!
@@jesses517 yes sir, thank you!
Dried molasses or cattle feed grade liquid by bulk works well. Don't waste 3 packets of yeast 1 will do and get the yeast in the jar and just use a 1tsp. Less expensive than the packets but the same stuff. Keep in refrigerator after opening. The sugar feeds the yeast, but corn is full of sugar as well.
Agreed! Lots of options!
Dostum açık tarif verirmisin nasıl bir yol izlemeliyim.
A few old beers also helps with the fermentation and sweetness. I've also heard of people mixing a little diesel fuel in corn
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I think the dieael fuel repels other critters from eating it
Me and the Mrs couldn’t stop laughing at your gag reflexing....
😂😂😂😂 I just couldn’t get past it!!!
All right I'm going to give it a try. I stopped the video and went and picked up the ingredients. Not knocking the recipe at all, but being one that makes wine in 5 gallon carboys, one packet of yeast stirred in the liquid will be plenty to get it to rocking in 24 hours. I've had hogs on my small acreage (7) for the past two nights and I need something that will keep them coming in on the regular.
Awesome!
I have a relative that was using a mix similar. The only difference is he used fruit punch cool aid packages instead of juice, i thougt it was tropical fruit jello, or fruit punch jello. I can't remember which . What i do remember was he said even trap shy pigs couldn't resist.
Nice!
Nice bait idea. Funny as heck watching you gag on that fermented corn. Yikes! I'll try making some but I'll have a gag mask to keep from upchucking. Loved the video. Do you have any videos where you hunted over this concoction? Full-watch 👍🏽🙂 5/28/22
Hahaha- thanks for watching! Truthfully, I can’t remember if there are videos of that specific one or not. Although we have a bunch of hog hunting videos!
Very good idea to make it sweet. Indian from UK.
Thanks for watching!
If you use this near the same location your deer show up, how long before the scent goes away and the area goes back to normal? I know there are some factors here, but a general idea would be helpful. Thanks and great video!
Probably a week or so, although we haven’t noticed that it really dissuades the deer from coming in.
I put beer and add beer as it absorbs. Great video though! I almost died laughing at the end!
Good call! Thanks for watching!!!😅😅
Love it keep it coming new sub here!
Thank you!!!
We've had minimal luck with strawberry. I think my brother bought a pallet of strawberry jello powder and mixed it with the corn. The raccoons loved it. He has probably a dozen cell cameras set up, and monitors them daily from a thousand miles away. There was never any sign of the hogs hitting the sites harder where we put out strawberry jello. They seem to eat what they're used to, and they kept hitting the plain old corn, and we had a little luck with molasses, but no more strawberry for us.
Interesting! Well, whatever works-Good luck out there!
My dad and grand father used that same mixture 40+ years ago. Alternitively Pappy used beer instead of water and fruit punch.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So glad i saw the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣Thanks for the tip
🤣
I used to use corn, cherry koolaid lemon juice, molasses, and a couple beers. Covered in a bucket for about a week or 2
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I laughed so hard at you gagging. My boys start gagging every time we kill something just to watch me gag. Been doing that since they were little
Hahahahaha! Thanks for watching!
Seen a whole heard of hogs the other day right down the road from my house I'm in Troy tx
Wanted to see your thoughts. My wife works at a place that boils peanuts. She brings them home for me to put out for deer but I thought about letting them ferment out in the sun for a day and letting them get really nasty and see if it’d bring in some hogs. My area is full of them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 now that's RIPE!!! Thanks for the recipe and a good laugh. 🤣🤣😂
Hahaha thanks for watching!
Thanks fellas..we b here in Florida!!
Thanks for watching!
I use corn and cheap Kool aid(fruit punch) packets with a couple of cheap beers(natties) to add to the mix for fermentation
Sounds like a good mix!!!
I learned if you make homemade trout dough then add strawberry jello it is good for getting hogs in
Have you tried the Root Beer float method digging a hole filling it with corn and add a gallon of milk prefer soured milk and two A&W root beer cans.
Sounds like a good mix!!!
I did this and by the time the big hogs got done with it, it looked like an artillery shell crater. They still sniff around the spot a year later! I think i will furrow the bait this year.
We use maple syrup in are concoction it makes it thicker
Awesome!!!
Curious how y'all keep the hogs and racoons away while it ferments for a few days? I did this early in the year: mixed up the mash on a Sunday evening and set the bucket out to ferment, came back Fri afternoon (we live about an hour away) and found the bucket had been tipped over all the mash was gone. Anyone have any tips?
What's the best type of trap for large amounts of hogs and how long should I bait before setting the trigger system for best results I'm new to hog hunting. Looking to fill as many freezers in one or two traps as I can for winter
We haven’t ever done trapping, just hunting, but it looks like a pretty good time!
Good video. 👍👍👍
Thanks y’all!
My absolute favorite part is the gagging 🤣😂
😂
I use strawberry flavored whisky on my corn .boy it work fantastic. Try it the smell goes a long way .I trap hogs here in East tx.
Nice!
i tried too see difference,, but post hole diggers, i made 3ft hole. fill corn only, 100 yards away same but 1 can beer! they hit every night only, ubtil a huge hole in ground. never found other.
I don't have hogs come thru my land but my sorrounding neighbors do, about how many miles or radius will that scent travel or cover, I live in oklahoma by the way, will the hogs go out there ways to find it
I do the same same but I add milk as well
Try some old birthday cake mix and a 1/2 bag of cheap cat food. Mix up with some old milk out of the frig. Ready to use. Caught 26 hogs in 2 days. If you mix in vegetable oil. The smell sticks around longer, water evaporates too quickly. So try 2- 3 boxes of cake mix, 3-5 pounds cat food, half bottle of oil, and add milk to your like in consistency.
I basically use the same thing for carp fishing lol. Only difference is i use sweat corn and don't let it ferment.
Does it work with normal corns too or it has to be deer corns only?
I also put in sour milk or buttermilk into mix
If you buy bucket lids from beer and winemaking shops, you can get them with a rubber grommet lined hole in the lid, enabling you to use a fermentation lock (about $1.75), plus the couple of bucks for the lid itself. You can safely snap the lids on tight, minimizing the risk of spillage, should a bucket be knocked over by dogs or other critters...
I've got a hunt coming up in a few weeks if I started this now would I be good to go in a few weeks or would it be too fermented?
You definitely don’t HAVE to start it now, but if that your only option, I’m not sure there’s such a thing as “too smelly and fermented” for hogs. I bet you’d be ok.
you earned the follow at the gagging 💀
😆😆😆
It works!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'll definitely try this slop mix, but I do have a question. I'm only trying to bait the hogs in my area so I can pick off one or two to scare the rest away so the deer where I hunt won't be scared off by the hogs. Should I dial back on how much of this I make so the hogs I scared off won't come back too soon?
Ya- they will definitely come back for more if there is some. The only true way to eliminate them is to trap the whole sounder, which is a WHOLE different conversation! Good luck out there!
@@westtexashuntingguys Thanks man! Have ya done a video on eliminating hogs from a property? Would appreciate as much help with that topic as I can get.
@@hunterthewerewolf just a bunch of hog hunting videos!
Would it work if I already had fermented corn would it work better too go ahead and mix it with that stuff to make it sweet? Just now getting into hog hunting trying to figure out what would work best
I bet that would work!
Hey Guys,
One more for you. When mixing all the ingredients together, specifically the yeast, do you have to be at room temperature or at least reasonably warm for this to ferment? It gets down into the 20's, 30's, & 40's during the winter here in NC, and I was wondering can I mix this, leave it outside to ferment at these temps?
Truthfully, I’m not totally sure. I’m sure it would ferment faster if it was in a warmer environment, but I’m sure it will work as long as it’s not frozen!
It will ferment slower at cold temperatures. This is basically a sour mash recipe for moonshine. I make something similar here in north georgia. The only temperature requirements is you need luke warm water ideally to start the mix with. Too hot kills the yeast, to cold kills the yeast. Also my suggestion is to order some cheap bubblers off amazon. This allows you to put the lid on completely and will also tell you when the bucket is fully fermented.
The recipe i use for hogs is get a 2 pound bag of sugar, 6 packets of koolaid mix (generic is cheaper) and about half a bag of corn and 2 packets of brewers yeast. Mix the same way these guys do it. Of course add water the way these guys do as well. Let it sit until it stops bubbling.
@@stricnine69 I brew beer at home. I pitch my yeast when the wort is at 70ºF or cooler. Bubbler is a good idea. You can use a plastic tube and let the end hang in a bucket of water and get the same effect. I'll have to save my spent grain the next time I brew. I usually have close to 30lbs in my mash tank when I brew a 12 gallon batch. I can harvest the yeast and reuse it for hog bait!
Top tip for cold weather fermentation, bring the bucket inside the house. You’re welcome.
Good stuff! Hopefully I won’t need it up here anytime soon.
That’d be a ways for them to travel!!!
@@westtexashuntingguys Indiana doesn’t have an established population according to the dnr but the states around us do.
@@NWIWhitetails that’s pretty crazy! Well once they’re there, they’re there for good! Just bookmark this video for the future...😅😅
The end was epic funny
😂😂😂
@@westtexashuntingguys I'm going hog hunting this weekend so I will do this tomorrow and get it ready for the weekend.
@@tttrevin good luck!!!
What's the best way to poison them with bait? I see a lot of stuff about using sodium nitrate that's toxic to hogs, but is there something you guys recommend? I just need to poison and kill them and am not trying to hunt them.
sounds like a hog grunting when you are stirring the mix 😁Thanks
They do something similar just like that for baiting bear for the bowhunters. It works great
Awesome!
This stuff is incredible😅
Try using less yeast and some instant mash potato powder. I'm dad has real good results with it , he's down in Florida.
Very cool!
ending was the greatest ending!!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Best bait
WILL IT WORK IN THE JAVELINA.?
“It’s on my hand”!! Bro n I tried it, we were tipsy n spilled on myself lol 😅
😂😂
Yum
😬
Thank you for your video.
I have big problem with wild hogs recently..
Made the hog bait exactly what you made and spreaded it to the ground where the hogs are activated.
Problem is so many turkeys and big black birds loved to eat all the bait before the hogs coming.
So had to dig some holes to put the bait then covered with dirt.
I am waiting the results now...
Awesome! I bet they’ll find it!
You really don't need to do all that. Just soak yur corn in a 5 gal bucket for a couple of days. You don't have to put out an entire sack. They will fight over a coffee can full 🌕
@@westtexashuntingguys Finally I caught one of wild hog but other hogs are not showing up for more then a weeks.
Do needs to move the trap to other places? Need your advice what to do. Thank you
Hi. The longer you keep it in the bucket,do you need to keep the bucket full of water?
We always top it off if it starts to dry out a little bit.
The corn will only absorb until it reaches capacity. Also fermentation will end at a certain point. Once the yeast has eaten all the sugars and turned them into alcohol the reaction will be finished. It wont do anything else at that point unless more sugars are added.
I tried it on a recent hog hunt in GA. The owner said lots of hogs. We put it on 4 of 6 food plots. Saw no pigs for 4 days. Not saying this won't work, one of the mans employees asked if we had tried it but the owner said it takes time for the hogs to get use to a new smell. Lots of variables to consider but I'm going with, If it aint broke, don't fix it. This is probably a good way to attract hogs if you don't have any?
I also add vanilla pudding
The ol’ curdled mix, hahaha
Ye ol’ soured mix as it were
Do y’all have hunting videos and tips to get rid of coyotes?
We’ve got one coyote hunting video on the channel, but we’ve never done a Tips video around it. Great idea!
Setx here so since august weve taken close to 50 hogs in traps and on stand. Now they will not go to the traps, weve had them on camera but they will not go into the traps. Any suggestions?
Hmmm that’s tough. And you’ve tried various baits?
@@westtexashuntingguys we've tried various fruits and vegetables, 3 types of scented corn and kool-aid. Could it be they've gotten used to the traps or could it be their getting enough to eat at nearby stands? As mentioned they have been on camera near the traps and u have killed some while they are corn on ground
That's close to east I put in my still!
Cracked me up.
😂😂😂
Will it still work if you let it sit longer? Say 3-4 weeks
As long as it doesn’t dry out.
Wonder if it'll work in a bear baiting station
I bet so!!! If they’re anything like hogs, they love anything sweet!!! Y’all used anything like that out there?
Do you just pour on the ground? Or maybe dig a shallow trough?
Either is great! Digging down can help it last longer.
What do you do with the hogs after you catch them?
Dinner
Just made a brew with ribeena berry juice I didn’t have any strawberry
Grape kool aid with the sugar mixed in and dig a hole to bury the corn. They'll stay in the area longer trying to dig it up
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I've got a bucket i forgot about. It's been sitting for 3 years😂😂
👀👀👀
That was great. I to suffer from a stupid gag reflex lol.
How would go on and about on contacting the channel and discuss on some topics on hog hunting?
Where are you guys located? It looks like the area where I live near
Abilene.
I use (cheap) beer, corn, sugar and yeast.
funny ending !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂
