Been trying to trap some hog's I have try everything I can thank of soured corn with and with out hog wild and pig out and anything i can find to buy they will not go in the trap. The only place i put the corn is in the trap they will walk right by it and keep going. I have herd that if they been traped be for they will not go in a trap again

Have you tried some melons or citrus? Just a thought.

Set the trap for a few days with the door either out or tied open. Put a trail of feed from the outside leading to the inside. Let them get comfortable going in before you set it.
Also if you have to get in the trap to set it, spray the trap down with scent killer when you come out

Also what type of floor does the trap have? If it has a mesh wire floor you HAVE to put something on the bottom, like leaves, palm fronds, or dirt. If they feel wire on their feet they wont go in

Hope this helps some


Oh, and they love bananas...

thank's for the info I have put oranges in it, and have left a trail be for and sprayed it with hog bomb Sow in Estrus. It has bull panalon the bottom never had that promblem befor not saying that it is not will try puting dirt and palm fronds in it tomorrow thank's again

Also take a machete and cut brush, and brush the trap in a bit. It seems to make them feel more comfortable

Sometimes the trap shy ones need to be caught with dogs.

Put diesel on the corn, it is a love potion!

Peanut butter, they will go crazy.
