Take heed Scott, predator calling is addicting. I was in your shoes 12 yrs. back -- once it your blood it hunkers down and stays put.

Yes, feral pigs can be called like 99% of all four-leggeds. If you prefer electric, I believe Johnny Stewart has a good piglet distress tape you need to try. If a mouth caller, get the tape and practice emulating the perturbed puny porker. You'll soon be as they say...in hog Heaven.

Catch you outdoors,

Welcome to the New Huntmasters, Scott. Glad to have you on board.

I've never tried calling hogs, but have no doubt it can be done.

Good hunting. LB

I am 34 years old and have been hunting most of my life. I have 2 kids and a wife that is almost as pretty as me.
I just started coyote hunting not long ago, mostly for something to do when archery season was over. I didn't realize how much it was going to affect me though. After I got my first Kill I couldn't get coyotes out of my head. New calls I need, new places to hunt, new kinds of tactics to use, gotta get a new gun. What the hell happened to me?

Sure is nice to see some of you lurkers coming out of the shadows. Great bunch of guys here and you don't have to be an expert to pull up a sit down and join right in. You'll soon find out what I said five minutes after getting here for the first time: this site is more cerebral than just about any of them. Not a lot of fluff or oddball forums to get lost in. Just predators. I can bet that there's not a guy here, regardless of years hunting, that hasn't learned something new from the exchange of ideas and information.

Let's hear from a few more of you. Where are the Chinese chicks?

Howdy MR. Tripp

I am Ronnie Robison. Will be 60 in June. Born and raised in Orange TX. I live four miles from the Louisiana border. I am a swamp rat. Got my first Duck and Goose call by age eight. Had my first pirogue at ten to run my trap lines with.

Was lucky enough to work shift work as a machinist for 33 years. This gave me 14 days a month of to hunt, And fish. Also plenty of time to raise and train Chesapeake's, Pointers, And setters for many years.

Started predator calling in 1959. Spent the last 18 years on Lohman's Gold Staff doing videos and trade shows.

I was hit with a rare neuromuscular disease seven years ago. Now I hunt from a bad ass off road wheel chair(Camo of course), And a customized 650 Honda. Now I spend way more time talking the talk rather than walking the walk.

This has to be the best place to talk the talk. There is more talent and skill here than Holley Wood and the NFL combined.

If you are ever headed East on I-10. Stop in Orange and I will hitch you up with a real cup of coffee. Then we will go for a air boat ride with a Chinese girl.

Ronnie

Mr., Tripp

I have had "0" luck calling hogs with the JS tape. We produced a baby pig tape under circumstances I can't go into. We then overplayed the sound four times. It will produce a sound that would cause a PETA member to jump into bubbling lava.

I have called around forty Coyotes with both tapes. Four were called to within seven yards. I have yet to have a hog come in.

I am very open to suggestions, As I am trying to deal with a bad Hog problem now.

Ronnie

If that's the case, you need to be promoting this tape and get as many copies out there as possible.

I, like Ronnie, am very interested too. I have shot a number of hogs in Texas and know quite a few guides. Between all of us, we've never called any hogs in no matter what the sound. Many times they never even look towards the sound because they seem to have tunnel-vision in getting to where they were origonally headed.

One call I haven't tried yet is the Feeder Repeater call. Seems like that would work. We thought we called some in one time but discovered that we were directly in between them and a corn feeder. We were fairly proud of ourselves until were heard the feeder sound off behind us.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.
I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

Howdy All!

My name is Scott Davidson, and although I've lurked here for quite some time, this is my first post...I think. I'm 50, live in New Waverly, Texas, and have hunted for about 45 of my 50 years.

The recent post on calling hogs has brought me out of the closet. I deal with problem hogs all year long, and hitched my pony to the hog-calling wagon a few years ago. Since then, I've managed to call exactly ZERO hogs. And I've got quite a library of "hog-calling" sounds. The JS Piglett in Distress works great on coyotes, slightly less so on cats, but I have never managed to call a hog, despite actually calling to a hog I could SEE on a couple of occasions.

I'm dealing with some troublesome hogs now. I'd sure like to know how to call 'em.

Please share your secret.

Thanks,
ScottD

Hey Rich!

Thanks, and good to be here. Ronnie and I are supposed to team up on 'em in a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll know how to call 'em by then. [Smile]

Remove the reed from any open reed caller, purse lips, and squeel..."Heeeeeeeeerre, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy!" Repeat every 2-3 min. Get camoed, and sit down wind. Oh, don't forget the Satan Cap ooops, I mean the Santa Cap. [Wink]

Scott; My best hog calling device was a metal bucket with some ears of corn broken in half....

stand out and rattle it and they came a running...

it may not work in the wild though....

if you can get close... the javelina call sure works on these desert rats... not sure if it would work on actual pigs or not...

Good luck....

Hi Guys,
Another long time lurker rearing his not so pretty head. Yep decided to come out of the closet.

Anyway, I am a stay at home dad for the time being. My wife and I decided to adopt twin 18 month old girls last July and believe you me my life has changed (sheesh that's alotta work for a 47 year old man). I live on the wet side here in OR. and am trying to call in my first cougar and bear.

Originally from Nebraska (where I have actually called in coyotes) I have worked in 21 or 22 different states, most with a hardhat on(millwright). Before that I worked close to 5 years for a major bullet manufacturer. Bought my first set of reloading dies for a .257 Rbt's at the grand ol age of 15 and never looked back.

Enough from me,
Robert
PS great site.

Hello Mr. Tripp

I'm Sheri Baity, not your typical slutty lesbian or your basic chinese girl although I do highly recommend you take the air boat ride with Ronnie. I'm just your plain ole wannabe, since I haven't figured out what I wannabe when I grow up.

I've been hunting the two legged coyote all of my soon to be 43 years of life. Back in the 90's I finally realized that my success rate was extremely low and they were no fun or challenge to catch and I spent way more time releasing than keeping. All they wanted to do was drool all over ya, hump your leg and responded to a simple call of cracking open a beer bottle, not to mention that they dribbled on the toilet seat and didn't flush the toilet and expected me to buy them dinner.

Then I started chasing the four legged coyote and my life has never been the same again. They are a little more of a challenge, quite rewarding when you do get them. Come home when you tell them they are coming with you with whispers from my 243. They don't drink your coffee, eat your food or steal the covers and pillows. It has been wedded bliss ever since.

Success has been not bad for an eastern coyote hunter. I've dabbled in a lil writing from time to time. I'm currently on field staff for Lohman, going around blowing my calls, giving coyote hunting seminars and still get plenty of responses from the two legged coyotes as well.

I'm a mother and a grandmother, two of my best moments in this lifetime.
