cover scent for pigs?

[Don Batten]

Pigs can smell a knat fart at 500yds. anyone with 1st hand experience using a cover scent when hunting hogs that seemed to work?  Home made or over the counter.

Never hunted hogs but if their nose is anything like a deer's, then cover scent is ineffective.
 
Gotta play the wind.....and pray.

Like, if you use some type of urine as a cover scent, then you just smell like a human with pee on you. You just can't "cover" your scent from a deer's nose.

I figure it's the same with pigs.

soured corn used both as an attractant and cover scent.

Strawberry powdered jello same as above.

But number one is play the wind and be scent free.

Well I suppose you could use some sow in estrus, but you may have to watch your back trial!!

Seriously a hogs nose is better than a deers but he is short sited.  So play the wind and know that you can get away with more movement in the 150 to 60yrd range when stalking.

Hey batman!  You've hunted hogs enough to know you just play the swirling winds here in the southeast!  You win some...you lose a lot! Good luck in your search!

I used a synthetic skunk cover scent this weekend and I believe it'll cover nearly any other smell around. It's a 2 part mixture where you just put a few drops of one thing into an small orange pill bottle and MAN ALIVE does it stink.

I'll have to ask my buddy where he got it.

Way better nose than a deer. Science says so, not just me. They are tough to fool.

Maybe not a cover scent but I store my Muck boots in a trash bag with about a 1/4 cup of rice bran. Pigs (and deer) have followed me to my stand. I don't know if it works but my boots are in the bag 24/7/365.

Thanks, I know how good they can smell. It's really uncanny. I watched a pig last year about 75 to 80 yds out from my stand. He wasn't walking to me but passing by at that distance. When he got straight down wind it looked like he ran into a wall. just grunted and turned around and went right back where he came from. They are smart too. shoot a group off a feeder and you might as well let that spot rest for a couple of weeks. when they come back, they will circle the spot and they WILL smell you. I might try some strawberry koolaid in a squirt bottle. I know nothing is 100percent but looking for any kind of edge it can get.

I don't think there are to many noses on the planet better than a hogs....  your only defense is the wind or maybe a bacon grease bath

Knat fart...not only dead nuts on but funny! Can't remember who said it but somebody here once said, "Lay down in the middle of the road & make corn noises!" Meaning, corn is hog candy! Not sure about a cover scent; but, if it smells like corn it may work? I've used skunk & coon scents...not so effectively on hogs though. If you find something that works, I'd like to know. RC may have some idea?

[Possum Head]

If hogs could talk it would sound something like this."My that's a lovely cover scent he's wearing today". That's right you forgot to spray your hair with that COON PEE!

Use tar on tree few days before the hunt around you hunting place,this stuff atract hogs and cover you scent as well.
