Hello Everyone,
I'm about to get my hunting license in January for the first time
and I've been researching hog hunting. I've read from a variety of sources online about the relatively ineffective results from calling hogs with grunts, squeals, and other pig sounds. What I'm curious about, but couldn't find any info about, relates to what I have read that hogs will eat rattlesnakes and anecdotal evidence that a hog will come running to the sound of a rattler rattling. This got me thinking, "Could you use a recording of a rattlesnake, or create your own rattlesnake call, to draw hogs out of deep cover into the open where you've got a clear shot?"
Am I way out of left-field thinking about this? I doubt this would work in the winter when snakes are holed-up for the winter, but could be plausable in the spring as the days start heating up. Has anyone here with experience hunting hogs and/or predators ever heard of, or tried, using a rattlesnake call to take hogs?
thanks in advance for your opinions (and hopefully lack of blasting me for what may be an odd-ball question).
