Rabbit salt blocks or more properly spools are small wheels of salt with a hole in the center. They can be purchased at any feed store that carries supplies for rabbits.

No experience this far south with porkys. From what I read on them the salt alone should turn the trick they are known to target tool handles due to sweat (salt).

How much odor does plain salt have? Wouldn't think it would be very loud.


It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, but only 3 for a proper trigger squeeze.

white salt blocks for rabbits you can find them in any feed store. They are about 3" round with a hole in middle

I catch a few,(+/- 70) per year. Any good canine/cat/coon lure works fine. To avioid other pesky critters go with salt. Not sure how much odor there is but theres enough for them to smell it.

No porky are not buckett or conibear shy at all

When you pack them out do you just grab them by the tail and throw them over your shoulder?

Hawkeye, you just gotta wear a special porky suit, like this one. A bit of a hazard around the water sets tho. grin
