Got word last week about some deer hunters who got their dogs cut up bad by a hog.
I said thats what your dogs get for going after hog instead of deer...lol
Loco and I planned on hitting this spot so I've been doing some scouting the last two days and found fresh tracks yesterday.
This place isnt known for hogs at all but this guys says they killed one last week and injured another one.
The hog that wrecked his dogs was missing and ear and he believed it to be around 200lbs.
Well we finally head out today around 3'oclock in the afternoon, weather wasnt to bad and the humidity level was fine.
I took Digger, Baby, and Mala.
Loco took Rambo, Tiburon,Zippy and a new bitch that he really likes.
We found some pretty decent tracks and cast out the dogs from there.
We stayed on a trail that got bad pretty fast.
We walked for about 3 hours in the wetland sawgrass and swamp.
We decided to head back just before dusk.
We got to the trucks and began to back out of this trail when we got to the main dirt road Rambo bagan to work a track and Baby right along with him.
Baby and Rambo took off.
Baby began to let out a few yeeps and I knew then they were on something good.
We ran Mala loose and she was right along with them.
Finally all the dogs take off behind them.
Within seconds the race was on but this hog wasnt runnin'
It was the hog that cut the dogs up the week before.
This hog was dogged before and was not running far.
We heard a solid bay but no squeal.
I thought to myself .. sh*t, I know Mala and Tiburon got there by now.
I hope everything is kool.
As I raced to the barking dogs Rambo, Baby and Loco's new bitch stood back baying while Tiburon , Mala and Digger and Zippy were caught solid.
We swam across a canal to get to the dogs. Finally after calling the dogs off the real work began gettin it across the canal.
Thankfully it wasnt a really wide canal and we were able to pull it across quickly.
The dude saw the hog and said " Yup thats him... mutha******...lol"
Thats him I remember cause he was missing an ear.
I said that what happens when you get deer dogs on a hog...lol
These my friend are hogdogs.
The pictures arent to great.. they were taken with my camcorder in night vision mode.. sorry.
Also this was my lil brother's first hog in the woods.
He's been out a few times and we've alwasy came up short.
I'm really proud of him...man can he keep up.
Hes only 11.
