Creek Bends: Cold-brew 'sweet' corn draws winter-weather hogs

Of all the baits I tried to lure feral hogs this winter, corn fermented to smell like a sweet, cheesy dough worked best even on the coldest days. It drew pigs past some expensive commercially sold juice lures and powders!
Placed in a rolling feeder bait bucket or buried in a hole it was by far the cheapest option to keep the hogs coming until I could find time to get into the woods!
