Calling In A Sounder

This was my 6th or 7th time to call in hogs and the 2nd time to call in a sounder at this location. While this was a daylight hunt, it was overcast and dark, misting, and winds gusting quite a bit - the winds actually working in our favor. We set up on the edge of a dam overlooking a tank. We were sitting in fairly high grass, but were still quite exposed to view.

We were using "Sow Hysteria," which is one of Glenn Guess' calls that can be downloaded off of iTunes. It seems to be a fairly useful call and one I have used several times in the past with some luck and is often used by Glenn in his videos. Before the video starts, we had already gotten a response from the sounder and after the video starts, got an even better response that was really cool!

I changed over from black hot to white hog as it was easier to see white hot in my scope in the daylight than it was to see black hot. On video, they both look fine, but in the field, white hot looked better.

We ended up shooting two hogs. The second hog was inaccessible and so was not recovered.

Great video and narration, as usual.

Gotta try the calling soon.

I really don't think the caller really matters all that much as they all do about the same thing. What is critical is the sound coming out of it. When it works, it is pretty impressive sometimes!
