I'm sure this as been asked on here 100 times before, but the search on this forum sucks, or I'm too stupid to use it.
So, is there a quick way to sour corn to use as hog bait. Say something that would work in like 2 days as opposed to 10days?

HAHA,
What I always do it pour the last little bit of backwash/beer misture left in my can into the bucket with corn in it. Then when I get drunk I get the wild idea to pee in it. It does work and it is pretty stanky.

i have heard diesel fuel works from a lot of people.... just lightly soak the corn or spray with a water bottle full of it and go out. no need to wait on it to sour

I've heard the diesel thing too, but I've never tried it myself. I haven't even tried hog bait like this. How long does it take to attract hogs?

hogs on my lease will come to the corn-diesel mixture almost within the hour its out. i have also heard hog wild works really well but i have never tried that. corn and fuel will go alot further than a 10-15 dollar bag of that stuff.
fyi... i get a gallon milk jug and put corn and fuel in it and shake it well and let it sit for a day and then take the top off and dig a hole and put the jug and all in the ground with the lid off and shoot the hogs before they get to it to tear it up. then get it out of the ground and put the lid back on and re-use. hunting is expensive and i dont blieve in wasting money on varmits. i use what works or whats cheap and make it work.

Beer will sour it pretty quick especially if you leave it out in the sun.

I use one of the taller 5 gallon buckets (pool chlorine or baseball bucket) one 40 lb. bag of corn with 1 gallon of diesel, 10 packs of cheap jello, 2 small packs of yeast. Stir it up, set in sun with lid on for first couple days, crack lid 2nd day or it will pop off. after 3-4 days, dig hole and bury, leave a little on top. Kill all hogs.

We usually use the old beer left in the cooler for the yeast, have not ever thought about packs of yeast, GREAT IDEA!!

The yeast packets come in a 4 pack for about $1.29, buy the cheapest jello mix, 5 for a buck at big lots. works great, just got back from killin a few over the batch I made last saturday. Good luck to all.
