"Hey whitedog just stopping by to share another hoghunting outting with you all.
Hope all is well. "
A friend of mine called me last week to come over and run some dogs where a few large hogs had been spotted. We haven't talked in about a year and I come to learn he lost all his dogs to some unfortunate circumstances.
I invited my buddy Loco to come with me and he brought a few of his dogs.
We get out and the turn the dogs loose next to a fence line where we found some good sign and it wasn't long before Bo had it figured out.
She ran off into some thick wet brush and within seconds she had the dog bayed followed by Dotty. Loco's dog got there as well and everyone was bayed up. We knew it musta been a big boy if it weren't caught.
Loco has a dogo he got about 2 years back as a pup that he shoulda culled long ago and decided to give the dog some more time to mature and try him again on a hunt after it curred to a bad hog.
I all along told his sorry butt to cull that piece of crap and he had fixed in his head it would mature into a better dog after the incident.
Well The dogo gets there and I knew he did when we hear a big yelp followed by some loud cries....
Dogs were gettin busted up and Rumbo and Loco's bitch Lyka were in a dog box in the truck my buddy's wife was driving not to far behind us.
We finally get to the bay, still no catchdogs....The dogo was trying to jump on my 4 wheeler and I was just looking at my buddy extremely hard .
I wont get into all the things I said to him after wards but I was pissed.
I take on the 4 wheeler to meet the truck halfway and grabbed both dogs and got to the bay. The dogs had it bayed in a ditch and man this boar was feeling really good about himself I'm sure.
We're over the hog and let go of the catchdogs. At the same time it decided to break and caught me on the right leg, knocking me on my butt.
We heard something crack and I still ain't sure what it was but man he knocked the wind out of me and almost broke my leg.
It all happened so fast I tried to dodge him and I guess he tried to dodge me too but we both dodged in the same direction and I was down for the count....lol
Rumbo and Lyka had it caught a few feet ahead and the deal was closed but not without gettin some dogs seriously cut up.
Dotty took a good poke to the neck, The dogo took two in the stomach. ( I hope that son of gun has breathed his last cuz I'm convinced my buddy wont cull his sorry butt.) Rambo took a good one in the stomach too but I think he'll be fine. And Bo took some pretty good slices to her front right leg and one nasty one on the rear one.
Its a bad spot to staple so I will stitch later today.
Man she was out of it but I knew she wouldn't leave that hog, she stood right next to me as we tied it and then when she saw it tied she loaded up on the 4 wheeler.
Anyhow, its good size boar going well over 200lbs. But man it sure did hold its own. He'd been caught before he was missing his left ear.
Well a limp and some cut up dogs later it was a good time and I was really happy to see my 'ol friend again.
