I would never have thought of vinegar.

I recently went through the pantry and dug out a lot of date expired cans of food. So I took them and put them in my low mileage hog trap. I added some molasses and corn. They didn't mess with it.

In the past, I've mixed corn with light beer and a little yeast. Let it set for 3 or 4 days in the summer and serve. That worked once about 10 years ago but never again. When carrying a bucket of the stuff, you don't want to spill any on your pants leg.

I also had a trapper who used milk replacer. One hog actually pushed the trap about 8 ft and got to the bait. He loaded up his trap and left.

Bow hunting starts this weekend and I have 3 or 4 predatory 17 year olds that are itching to get at the hogs. Maybe more activity on the place will help.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
