If you have an iPhone look for an app by Convergent Hunting Solutions ( I think) called Hog Pro. some guys I hunt with have had pretty good results with a Bluetooth speaker calling hogs in that are hunted pretty hard. I bet against it working and was wrong. We were using it at night with thermal sights. Daytime I don't know. YMMV

We use corn feeders with timers to pull the hogs in at dawn and dusk. Also set them to go off at certain time after dark to kill them with night vision and thermal.
After the feeders are in place and feeding a while, they can tell time to within 15 minutes. They will gather in nearby thick brush and wait for the sound of the feeder going off to rush in if it is cold and they are hungry. Don't know how they do it.

I personally use Jagdterriers. Big dogs are slower and heavier. When a heavy dog gets hit by a hog tusk there is the weight resistance and the dog gets cut. Sometimes a lighter dog just gets thrown with small or no cuts. Sewed up a lot of big dogs learning that bit of info. Heavy catch dogs get a protective vest.

Hunting Hogs in the Day time. The hogs are smart. But they like free food. We like to use a noisy feeder motor the little beast can hear. Set it up for when you want like 10 am, noon, or 4 pm. Mount it up high enough the deer can't reach it and leave it alone for a week or more only going there to check on the food levels and after a few weeks like this the hogs will come running when they hear the motor spinning out the feed. The first few days if any are around when you first turn it on they will run for the hills. After they learn the noise means food they will run to it. Don't take the first one, the larger ones come along after a group of little ones rush in. We are set it up for a 35 - 40 yard shot. They seem to not see us behind our piles of old dried trees we use for our blind.

I will give you what works on my friend's ranch down south. what he does to train them to come out at dawn and stay out during shootable light is to have food on the ground where they can't get to it during the none shootable hours, then the gates lift and they get access to it only during shootable light (dawn to dusk). he has effectively trained the boars and hogs to be out in light hours and be in a shootable position when it's legal to shoot them.
nkey" dogs.

A large noisy feeder hanging high and set to cast out feed mid day will train the hogs when to come out to THEIR FREE FOOD. Their stomachs will make them careless. They will be afraid of the noisy feed for a few days. Maybe as long as a week then the noisy feeder will become their dinner bell. In central Florida the feeder needs to be high enough the black bears or the deer on their hind legs can't reach it

some great interesting tips guys.
We have seen the opposite effect when hunting hogs at night with thermals regularly. They start moving during the day again due to hunting pressure at Night. Hogs will tend to be diurnal during cool-cold temps and nocturnal during warm-hot temps when they are not pressured.

Look into an electronic call.
Foxpro makes an affordable one, Patriot, to which you can download a library of pig noises. Regular varmint sounds (distressed rabbit, etc.) work also. This can entice them out.

Agree with Wildernessbob. HANG the 30 gallon feeder instead of setting it on legs. Florida hogs will attack the legs making the feeder barrel fall. Then they throw the barrel in the air until the lid pops off to get to the corn. I modified a large feeder with two eye bolts close to the lid opposite each other, then I attached the eye bolts together inside the barrel with a turnbuckel so the eye bolts don't pinch the 2 sides of the plastic barrel together when lifted and screw attach only one section of the 4-part legs to the barrel to the 3 leg attachment points. These 3 legs are used to set the barrel and motor on the ground to refill the barrel when lowered. Then I tie a rope to each eye bolt forming a large V above the lid. Next tie a rope high between 2 trees to hold the barrel and attach a small U-bolt with a pulley to the center of this tree rope so the pulley doesn't slide on the tree rope. I then attach another rope to the barrel V, up through the pulley on the tree rope and to a boat trailer hand winch.

I attach the boat winch to one of the trees to raise and lower the barrel. Sometimes I use a 2nd winch on one end of the tree pulley rope to tighten the pulley rope. You can also buy a small 6.5 gallon bucket feeder to pull up and down without a boat winch, but it's harder to pull up in a tree then you might think.

Good luck and have fun outsmarting them. They are smarter than a deer.

They are smart. Not sure if they're smarter than deer. These havnt been seen during the day all season. Till a couple days after the season closed.

Put feed out in the morning and take it away before dark if you don't have an electronic feeder. Sometimes if you bury sour corn soaked in something sweet and smelly like orange soda they will work the hole day and night. Just bury it fairly deep and spread it over a large area.
