We had a bottle of this stuff as a coffee sweetener. We got it because our friends love the stuff. It has a pungent sweet odor and smells great! We didn't like it, however. So my wife was going to throw it away. I thought, "Sweet flavor, sweet smell, something yummy, the hogs might like it!"
I have two feeders at my place about 50 yards apart. Surprisingly, the hogs will sometimes go to one and not the other. Depending on wind and such, sometimes one is better to hunt than the other. So I have wanted them to make it out to the foodplot feeder more. I do have hogs coming, but they are spending more time at the other feeder and that isn't as convenient right now. So on Friday morning, I dumped out about 10 lbs of corn on the ground under the food plot feeder and poured half a bottle of the stuff over it and mixed it around.
Friday night, I got one image of a hog smelling the area, but not getting too close. Several deer came in and ate from the pile, but the hog was there for one snap and went to the other feeder and stayed on camera for the better part of a couple of hours.
Saturday night, a different hog came in, appears to have gotten to with a few feet of the hazelnut corn, and then went to the other feeder.
As an attractant, hazelnut syrup is a FAIL
As a retardant, hazelnut syrups is a SUCCESS
