Im new to hog hunting.We got a few hogs on our property.I need something thats like instant we are going hunting in the morning they have been feeding em corn in 2 spots.But theres 3 of us hunting so looks like I'm not gonna have a baited spot.So I was wondering if there was something,I could put out in the morning that might increase my chances.Theyre feeding em about 150 yards from my stand.Thanks in advance

A half bag of corn spilled in a straight line towards you is all ya need. You might get a two-for-one if they line up just right for you.
All the $$$ for products don't work.

Corn and red diesel if you can get it if not just soak the corn in diesel. Has worked great for me in the past.

Go see the old man that sold Jack the magic beans. Maybe he has some magic corn.
If all the attractants worked like you want them to work and did so on a regular basis, everybody would be using them and shooting hogs all of the time. Yeah, soaking in this, that, and the other thing works. So does corn. So does garbage, rotten fruit, veggies, etc. You can buy the expensive commercial products too that claim success and they probably work as well, or maybe not, but day in and day out, you can't beat just plain corn.
We all want instant bait. Nobody seems to actually have any, however.

Why not hunt with one of the other guys. Y'all both aim and do a count- 1, 2, 3 BOOM! I've done that numerous times with buddies.
We used to add Strawberry jello packets to our soured corn...

Won't happen by morning but soured corn works. mix water, beer, sugar, yeast & flour with corn. You might mix some & boil it a little to speed it up. then dump it out.

They are wild animals, you need what they are used to if you are loking for instant. You may also put a little sow in heat on a tree trunk or feeder leg. Little means drops, do not pour the stuff pn the ground. I have killed 28 pigs this year and only one at a feeder. The smaller pigs start moving around 6 pm so you may try to find the trails they are using. Also get upand out way early in yhe morning and try to get them as the are going to bed down. Water is huge this time of year. Good Luck

I've been using strawberry/cherry koolaid powder mixed with corn in my pipes and on the ground--it keeps them coming back and it puts off a lot of scent. I bury some of it under loose sand so they can root for it. Cheap and easy to use.

All the $$$ for products don't work. If they have been eating corn feed them corn that other stuff only works if they are very use to it. Koolaid and the other stuff works after 1-2 weeks of constant exposure. Pigs will avoid areas that changed.

You can get a bag of "Hog Wild" at Academy for about $7.00. I mix it with corn and they love it. Lots of smell.
