Are there any good scent for attracting wild boars?, some with ferohormons or something like that?
Something to avoid me carrying the domestic sow with a rope to the woods?
Any experience?
Thanks

WWW.Texasboars.com has a line of scents and the one your interested in is a sow in heat type.

I'm not sure I like the idea of a full grown russian hog headed my way with a hard-on.

There are few problems that can't be solved with the application of large caliber ordnance.

Rickt300,
Thanks for the information, sow in heat...sounds great!!

Beemanbeme,
After many empty handed hunts I'm not afraid of new experiences but maybe I will carry my 458wm instead of my 300wm, just in case....

Hi - we have had some success with tar rubbed over a tree stump - they seem to be attracted to the scent and conveniently stay scratching on the stump while you take aim! :0)

Good hunting! Ian

Down my way we use the carcass of an animal (roo,donkey even another pig)if we want to attract pigs into a pig trap. That method may attract some other critters down in Uruguay though.

Ian,
Thanks for the reply but I don't know what TAR means.

Bakes,
I've used with sucess cow carcass, but after they 've been some time in the field.
The problem in my country is that pigs prefer to kill sheeps and don't return after the first night, nothing left !!
Thanks for your answers

On another note Diesel fuel also attracts them. Pour it on a stump and they will come rub on it.

Lorenzo - the black sticky stuff you mix with gravel to make a hard road surface! We call it 'Tar' or 'Bitumen' Like diesel fuel, its strong smelling and lasts for ages.

Some folk around here simply use sour grain. Same technique as catfish fishing when baiting a hole. Prepare in a 5 gallon plastic bucket by covering some gain with water, add a beer(cheap, bad beer please!), wait a few days, then when it has gone sour and smells, bury it under a thin layer of soil in a likely area. They will use it.

Charlie so what your saying is use any American beer

I think he meant Fosters

You got me there Rockhead! Thank God we've got you Yanks to drink it other wise we would have to.

too true Bakes

I have a friend who mixes corn and diesel, then takes a post hole digger and digs a hole as deep as he can. He then puts layers of corn and dirt until he reaches the top. He makes several of these and the hogs will root a tire sized area searching for the corn.
Good luck and good shooting

FOr a quick attracting mixture I have had very good luck with wheat/maize mixture rotted beyond what you could ever imagine an animal eating.

I used a 55 gal drum, filled 1/2 with the grain then add water until it is at the top of the grain. It takes a while, but when the stuff on the bottom turns black & starts to smell like cow dung, It is ready.

It is the most disgusting smell, much worse than rotten corn. If you get it on your skin, you will not get the small out with plain water.

I have tried the commercial style scents...useless. Oh, sure they work sometimes, but the wheat/Maize is the best mixture I have come up with.

These are just my own observations.
