- Why Bait Works on Hogs Explain how baiting concentrates a wide-ranging, sparse sounder to a predictable site and why it is legal and central to SC hog control on private land.
- Bait Sites and Trail Cameras Set an effective bait site and run cell or trail cameras to inventory exactly how many hogs are using it and on what schedule before acting.
- Conditioning the Whole Sounder Pre-bait patiently until the entire sounder feeds together comfortably, the prerequisite for whole-sounder removal and the most common point where impatience fails.
