In April I was planning on an eclipse, turkey, hog hunt. Didn’t happen.
I had made two buckets of sour corn and they have been sitting in the garage in Phoenix for 4 months.
Interesting is that it doesn’t smell bad anymore but a thin black layer is over the corn.
So, when I go in November do you think it will still attract hogs?

I wouldn't bother with it. Just dump that stuff.

It it is that bad I would want it out of my garage. That far along those mold spores and mycotoxins are probably not very healthy within in your home.

I will put in sun with lid off to dry. Trash won’t take a bucket of liquid.

Thanks for input.

The pigs here smell corn right out of the bag from a long way off.

Heck yeah the attract hogs we used to go to the local feed Mill go out there to the dispensing belt where they load the feed trailers scoop up all the powder and feed that fell to the ground all rotted molded with maggots in it you can take it out to the bottoms and bait it out hogs every time couldn't just stay away from it and deer stay away from going to throw some scent in the air pour powder Cherry Kool-Aid on top of it

I've had a batch of corn and yeast brewing for a couple of months now. Stinking thru the plastic bucket! Just waiting for a time I can get a couple of days at the lease.

When I bought yeast I got it from a home brewing store. The guy running it is hog hunter.
He suggested to get the corn to ferment better to add a pound of six row barley (was about 2 bucks) to get proper enzymes to start. It did ferment faster than without and could explain why it doesn’t smell really bad.

I had a coupld bags corn out by my shop for months and they soured, almost gagged me. I dumped them in a field and had pigs pile into it within a hour.

I have a closed plastic container of soured/rotten corn. I’m afraid to open it.

My current plan is to open and dump in the field. So I don’t stink up my garage.
Fortunately I have screw top buckets so I don’t need to fight to get open.

Unless you screwed the top down and the corn fermented, creating gas, increasing internal pressure, effectively friction locking the threads. If it wasn't sealed, you should be GTG.

Wear old clothes when you move it.
I did a batch years ago when I didn't exactly understand it,
and it shook in the back of the truck all the way there.
Needless to say, when I popped the lid on the first one,
it exploded all over me as if someone had thrown the
bucket at me. Covered with puke smell head to toe.

Didn't even have a clean pair of socks or drawers with me.
Luckily I had an old wadded up flannel shirt to sit on for
the stink ride home

Correct.

I had the lids on loose during fermentation so they could vent. For a few days it smells nice.
Now they are snug to keep most of the moisture in but not 100% sealed. It’s 115+ in garage and don’t want it to dry out.

Final test.
Put the corn that had been fermented since March at two spots with hogs. It literally smells like [censored].
Fresh dry corn 10 feet away.
Fresh was the typical crater.
Old fermented was not touched, not a nibble.

^^^^^

Yep.

Hogs have the ability to smell things (out-gassing) that are several feet under ground (so typically not much scent).

Just plain old corn on the ground is readily detected if the wind is right. No need to ferment corn IMO. Pour a little powdered jello mix on top IF you want to increase the smell.
