These desert hogs didn't know what corn was when I first started working them about a year ago. They'd walk right past a pile of corn, even if I sprinkled Hog Wild, Jello, or Kool-aid on it. Diesel didn't work either, maybe because we're in the Permian Basin and they smell oil and other fuels all the time.
They didn't pay attention until I made sour mash with corn, yeast, and Tropical Punch flavored Sno-cone syrup. Had to deal with the Javelinas for a while, but after I got that sorted out the hogs took over and it works pretty well.

We just let them lay as Coyote bait. After seeing the diseases that they carry here, I'm really careful about the way I handle them. Cooking well will kill any diseases they carry, so they can be eaten.
