tried some "HOG WILD" awhile back. didn't work for crap. been trying home brew mixes. Anybody had luck with off the shelf hog attractants?? don't get me wrong. they are coming to feeders very well. but was trying to keep them in the area longer.
i used this stuff last year on a wma and it worked great until they did a control burn and burned the tree i was useing!

and im going to try this this year.
just trying to find something that will help in keeping them in the area of the feeders. only throwing about 1 pound twice day. one area am trying to get them to wallow in. have dug holes with post hole diggers. have filled with corn and grape kool-aid mix. work for about 1 week. then left it alone. everything i try works for about a week, then is dead to them. to lazy i guess
My dad came up with the idea to put grape kool aide powder in the feeders mixed with the corn. We have two feeders and they will walk past the one without kool aide to go to the one with kool aid. We use the Walmart knock off. It's $1.29 a can and one can will do a normal feeder. I have never seen hogs get so protective of a feeder, the big ones will chase the small ones out. The other thing is the hit it early before they would go to the feeder at night. Last deer season we used some stuff called C more bucks and that drove the hogs crazy too.

Watch out for fire ants
When I put either protein pellets or a flavored corn in my feeder, you can almost bet it will get invaded by ants
