In this part we have a look at the making of wet bait for bushpigs.
Any form of starry product can be used for feeding up Bush Pigs as they are much like any other hog in the world - they are proper omnivores.
The Mix I use consist of the following
*Sweetcorn/mielies - Soaked till they are soft
*Add a packet of instant yeast
*Add sour buttermilk, yoghurt, Maheau or millet beer (Shake Shake)
*3/4 bag of Chop (Milled maize husks)
Mix it up good and cover with water.
Keep out of direct Sunlight and make sure the mix stays moist - it will begin to ferment and create a wonderful smell.
I base this mix on the fact that I use Dry maize in my feeders other wise the feeding of bushpigs with wet mix becomes a grind every day - this allows me to top off wet mix 3x per week when I check trail cameras.

I normally start my pigs off on dead carcasses but the though of them eating rotten meat and maggots etc makes me put them on to a vegetarian diet where they can not only pick up weight but it helps the entire population. Nothing nicer that a bushpig steak with a bit of fat on it.
Also putting up meat baits in the mountains here comes with other problems in its own form such as Leopard and brown Hyaena the latter is noways as disconcerting as the first one when you are siting in a blind.

The feeder also serves a s a good "Dinner Bell" when it goes off.
I feed 2x per evening one 30 mins after dark and the 2nd timer will be an hour later - this way your pigs come in early and you don't have to sit out the whole night waiting for them to come in.

In the next part we will be looking at bait locations, and the factors therein and then we move onto the feeder build.
