Bring in even the wariest trophy boars with the Haydel's Ham-A-Slamma Hog Grunt (HS-12). While many hog calls focus on high-pitched distress sounds, the Ham-A-Slamma is specifically tuned to reproduce the low-frequency, guttural grunts of a dominant boar. By mimicking the social and aggressive vocalizations of a big boar, this call serves as both a territorial challenge and a curiosity trigger, making it an incredibly effective tool for attracting large, solitary hogs that often ignore distress sounds.
The HS-12 is built for superior tonal depth and volume, allowing the sound to travel through dense timber and across open fields alike. Its user-friendly, open-reed design allows you to easily modulate the grunt, from soft "contact" grunts to deep, aggressive challenges. Whether you are hunting in the swampy thickets of the South or the scrub oak ridges of the West, the Ham-A-Slamma gives you the specific vocal edge needed to dominate the hog woods.
Why It Outperforms the Competition:
- Dominant Boar Vocalization: Specifically engineered to replicate the low-frequency "chops" and grunts that trigger territorial responses in big boars.
- Versatile Tonal Range: Easily modulate between subtle contact grunts and loud, aggressive challenge calls depending on your hunting scenario.

Haydel's Ham-A-Slamma HS-12 FAQ
Big, dominant boars are often less interested in "easy meals" and more concerned with territorial dominance. A grunt call triggers their instinct to protect their area or challenge a perceived competitor, which is often the only way to lure a mature, wary boar into range.
Start with soft, short grunts to mimic a boar feeding. If you get no response, increase the volume and duration to mimic a more aggressive, challenging boar grunt to provoke a reaction.
Yes. Hog grunt calls are very effective during mid-day "bedding" periods when hogs are moving and communicating within their sounder. It can help you locate a herd that is otherwise silent.
Very. It is an open-reed design that does not require complex air manipulation. If you can make a grunting sound with your own throat, you can easily master the Ham-A-Slamma in just a few minutes of practice.
