We have a piece of property in Kinney county that up until now hasn’t had any hogs on it. Lots of Whitetails, axis and turkeys. We had our first hog show up on the game cameras. All the pictures of him has been at night. Going to borrow a hog trap to catch him. Any recommendations on what bait to use? Should I bring the trap over and put the bait in right off or have it outside the trap until he starts eating it. Want to use something that the deer won’t eat as well

Might try a container of dog food and another with diesel/corn mix and place outside the trap with a camera to see which he prefers before placing the bait in the tray

Corn soaked in a 5 gallon bucket add strawberry jello mix and 2 packets of yeast use to make homemade bread. Close bucket with a crack in the top and let it ferment. Then I dig a hole with a post hole digger 6 to 8” in diameter about 2 to 3 feet deep underneath the trap or move the trap over the hole after you pour the mix in it. I have a small pan I also place in the back of the trap over the hole. Works great.
