Effective hog calling can make the difference between a long day in the field and a decisive encounter. Understanding the sounds that trigger a wild hog’s curiosity and pack instinct is core to responsible and successful hog management and hunting strategies.

PRIMOS HOG is designed exactly for that: replicating the squeals of boars and sows so you can draw animals in for closer inspection. Hog squeals are made by both boars and sows and sound very much like domestic pigs. Because of the wild hog’s strong pack instinct and curious nature, they will often investigate the sounds of other hogs squealing. Priced at $17.99 and offered under the Game Calls category, this Primos model (Model: Various) is a compact, affordable tool for any hunter or land manager.

Why realistic hog squeals work

Wild hogs are social and curious. A believable squeal that mimics a distressed or calling hog can interrupt feeding and movement patterns, triggering investigation. The PRIMOS HOG leverages that behavior; its tone and pitch emulate the natural timbre of domestic pigs, which wild hogs readily recognize. As a Game Calls entry-level option, it’s an economical way to add targeted attraction tactics to your kit.

Field tactics and deployment

Calling sequence

Start with faint, intermittent squeals to simulate a single distant hog and increase intensity if you detect movement. Use pauses and varied cadence to mimic real animals. Because PRIMOS HOG reproduces both boar and sow-like squeals, alternate pitches to match the scenario—higher-pitched squeals can suggest a sow or juvenile, while deeper tones suggest larger adults.

Placement and concealment

Place the call near cover or along habitual travel routes. Hogs will often circle downwind and approach from multiple angles; set up to observe likely quartering lanes and maintain concealment. The compact price point of $17.99 makes it practical to carry multiple calls for different setups.
