Coons will still get to it, and bears. Deer may or may not leave it alone in my experience.

Pour diesel fuel over it
They'll eat that?
Love the sulfur smell

Sho will
Sounds more like a shine recipe, are you sure you want to throw that on the ground and waste it?
Yeah, the corn, sugar, and yeast is sour mash.
Hogs are tough critters.
I might put some diesel corn out and a trail cam. Really surprised me that I am finding hog sign where I hunt. None of the neighbors around me have said anything about seeing sign or hogs. The rooting I've found is really tore up. Some places almost a foot deep and dime size tree roots snapped.
Diesel does work. I just didn't say it because I figured there would lots of flaming 
you don't need much, just spraying some on will do it.

Make a couple of creosote, oil or diesel rubbing posts.
Old telephone poles & railroad ties are perfect. Wrap them in old carpet & nail it on really well. I usually wire them to trees or fence posts around a travel area (if they're resident) & then paint them up with creosote (#1 choice) old engine oil or diesel.
Nothing else will touch them, but pigs go crazy for em! They'll come to them daily to rub, scratch & de-tick themselves, once they find them.
They can actually be way more attractive than bait, since there's no competition & they don't have to be on higher alert when they go to them.
Another big advantage is that you only need to freshen them up maybe 4 times a year. Once hogs find bait, you'll have to maintain it pretty much daily.

Mixed up a bucket of corn, sugar and yeast and put a lid on it and put it out in the sun for a couple weeks. Stirred it everyday added a packet of kool-aid and put it out last night.
Youtube short of hog
ETA: Was using a 190gr TUI 300blk subsonic @1000fps hence no bang flop but hog only ran about 75 yards and went down, can't see that in the video.

Well done!
I've got two buckets right now with corn, yeast, and apple juice concentrate in them. I'm gonna put some sugar or sweetened Kool-Aid in it in a day or two. It's getting a little rank already. Mixed it up Saturday.

So what brings the h0gs out in daylight?
I had this sow and a youngin out yesterday evening eating some corn. These hogs bed in a creek bottom about 1000ft from the fields and I've noticed that if I put out corn far enough away, they will sometimes head over a little early and show up just before dark, but 90% they wait until its well past dark.
These two were out in our other field a couple days before right at dark:
I have trail camera pictures of them during the day but I think when I go to my land every few weeks and they hear my atv then they go nocturnal or leave, cause I have yet to see them during the day.

Never heard of this but then again I'm not familiar with hogs. Makes since and reminds me of a rub post set when trapping cats, attractant being for different reasons of course. Every tool in the tool box helps, thank you for sharing.
In areas that are full of pigs you will see the telephone poles on the sides of the roads rubbed to the point where the ground wires get cut off.
Well hell.... turns out that you can't buy it anymore. It's now a listed & controlled substance. That sucks!
I have an OOOOOOld 5 gallon bucket that I have to thin with kerosene to use. It was left in the barn buy the previous owner. I've been treating fence posts around our place with it for 16 years!
If you can get hold of telephone poles (usually about $35) They're treated with it. Just strap a 3' section, vertically, to a tree, fence post it anchor it horizontally on the ground. It'll last for years as it is. It just might take a little longer for them to discover. Of you can place it on a reeeeally obvious travel path, or something that's already rubbed & muddy, they'll wear it out!
