Thread: Baiting Wild Pigs

I admit not all cheese went to the pigs.....

Some judicious trimming achieved some tasty treats for us humans too lol

Go to your local bakery with an empty 20 litre bucket and ask them to fill it with bread yeast mix..........make sure you take a second bucket with you as it will double in size as it rises.....
( dont ask me how I know to take a second bucket- does anyone know how to get yeast out of carpet btw)

My local bakery charged me $10.
Just throw handfuls on the ground and it will attract pigs like 'rotten meat does to blowflies'.

Wont work as well if it gets rained on...

Do you do anything with it? Mix with water or something to activate it?

They premix it so that it starts the process of rising etc.........thats why you will need a second empty bucket. The first lot I got was just a ball of dough in the bottom 3rd of the bucket. By the time I did some other stuff on the way home it had overflowed the top of the bucket and was still rising.

Took it up to the farm ( 2 full buckets the next day) and the manager used it to bait a pig trap. Trapped pigs the following day.

Note: the smell of the yeast fermenting was very strong and had to drive with the windows open.
