Cletus Ewing

"A bad day huntin' still beats a good day workin', my pa always used to say."

- Cletus Ewing

Cletus Ewing is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a stranger/freak in Grand Theft Auto V.

Background
Little is known about Cletus' life before the events of the game. He is portrayed as a friendly, stereotypical hillbilly living in Sandy Shores. He appears to be a military veteran, as he can be seen wearing dog tags around his neck. He also became friends with Trevor at an unknown point in time.

Events of GTA V
Trevor meets Cletus in Sandy Shores, Cletus will be hunting some coyotes and will enlist Trevor to do some hunting challenges to see if Trevor is a good hunter. The challenges consist of shooting satellite dishes, tires of moving vehicles and coyotes. After Trevor completes the challenges, Cletus asks Trevor to meet him in Bayview Lodge in Paleto Forest, for some hunting lessons.

In his second meeting, Cletus introduces Trevor to some tips for hunting, like using the wind to not be detected by the deer or using a deer call to locate animals. After Trevor kills all the necessary deer, Cletus will call Trevor to make a proposal: if Trevor kills any animal that he finds and sends Cletus a photo of the carcass of the animal, Cletus will sell the animal meat and share the profits with Trevor. After this, the Hunting activities will be unlocked.

Cletus then continues to make appearances in the game only via the hunting minigame, he will send text messages to Trevor with comments about the carcasses of the animals that Trevor kills and how much he thinks they are worth. He will also send challenges to Trevor complete along the hunting session, that include killing animals in a certain way or taking pictures of the carcasses of specific animals. Completing these challenges helps the player reach the gold medal in the hunting sessions.

Cletus will send a text message to Trevor after the mission Minor Turbulence, saying that he left a pie in Trevor's Trailer with Patricia.
