    Hand squeaks work on hogs

    Seems a few hond squeaks to mimick a rabbit get them a lil interested lol. Have had freinds say they get big boars coming in fairly regularly on fawn in distress.

    It's worth a try - you've got nothing to lose. I was coyote hunting once using a squeaky toy to sound like a rabbit in distress. Within a few minutes there was a rustling in the brush and out popped a bobcat. (I let it go) You never know what will work until you try it.

    These are nuisance hogs, not some noble stag or something, so if calling doesn't work don't be afraid of using the nuclear option! Grab that box of stale doughnuts out of the break room at work and dump them at the location where you want the pigs to appear. You know that they'll be coming because you'll be able to smell them making coffee.

    Feral hogs are North America's version of African hyenas. They'll pretty much prey on anything - my son has pulled them in with a dying rabbit call.

    That same call will put crows into a hissy fit sometimes.
    Feral hogs are almost single handedly the reason that AR15s became popular for hunting. As 405 said- they aren't a noble creature- they are an enemy. Kill as many as you can- they'll make more.

    Lots of animals react to the squeaky calls. I called in a grizzly bear once. I didn't care for that, as I only had a longbow with me at the time.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    I played your video and my dogs went nuts, lol.
    I'll have to keep a squeaker in my back pack for when I can hear them but they won't come in.
