Cleon P Carraway... the Hog Whisperer

There is a great deal of information available on most aspects of wild hog hunting but the art of using calls to attract porkers within shooting range is one that is often skirted around, probably because of lack of factual information. Through the years, I’ve had very limited success using calls to attract hogs. The lion’s share of my failures I attribute to lack of skill on my part and possibly the fault of the calls I used to perfectly duplicate the sounds made by wild hogs.

Night Hog Hunt

Few things are more exciting to me than hog hunting at night. Yesterday, I noticed the freezer was getting a little low, so last night I spent a few hours up in the tree stand over my corn feeder. I went out about nine o'clock, which is prime time for the hogs to be moving in, and from the darkness I heard this big, old boar. If you haven't heard one before, there is a definite distinction between the sound of a boar and a sow. Anyway, I'm hearing the big guy coming in closer, then I hear some squealing, and much to my disappointment, the sounder moved away. If I were a younger man, I would have stayed there all night because I know they returned, but I am what I am, so I headed home cold and empty-handed, but with a great story to share with you. I'll get him next time.
