Nice Boar caught last night.

[quickfire]

Well here goes nothing. Went out last night for a quick run. was about 11pm and was walking back to the truck to leave get to the truck and took my Camel Pack off and next thing you know Snickers hauls beep with Booray on her tail, and I see Hank and Bruno are with them now too. Few minutes later all the dogs are baying there heads off at 320 yards bayed. So My buddy mike and I haul beep to the bay we get there and its a pretty big hog standing in a swamp swarmed by 4 curs. I tell them to catchem up and they plowed him and Mike grabbed his leg and I went in to help drag mike and the hog to shore so we can flip him and leg him. We get him on the bank and get him flipped and we go to hobble him and realize all the damn stuff is 300 plus yards away in the truck. So we decided to just stick him since they either have to leave dead or alive per the land owners request.. Was quite a Fiasco good times good memories made with descent dogs. Note to self always keep a roll of tape in my pocket. Mikes girlfriend took Pictures from the bank of the live action.

sure nuff good hog brother them dogs workin out for i see

Yeah man they are figuring each other out and really starting to work as a unit. I have a nice little Cat/BMC that I think is half plott that is silent that ranges out deep and goes to the bay,helps catch,real gritty, that I am really looking forward to seeing how she matures. For now though my little Snickers usually strikes first and is like a stratrgic missile,she barks out of frustration when a hog breaks sometimes but until I have something better she will have to do. Booray Hank and Baylee have enough bottom to keep up with and run most of them down.

Really good story and hog. From what your saying i would not even think about getting rid of Snickers. JMO.

dog days started today on st johns were running tom should have some more pics and stories up the deer hunter said the hogs are thick at 3 forks

Thats a fine boar hog. Id tell ole boy with that knife to watch out where he puts it.

Hey Magnum thanks. Yeah she has her purpose she beats the bushes and constantly outstrikes the other dogs but she yips when a hog breaks and barks on ones beep, doesnt bother me to much but I hear its allot easier to catch hogs with silent dogs so that's what I have been trying to lean toward. I love her style she beats the bushes non stop.

At Boarhog1 I hear ya man...

Big difference between one that barks when it hits the ground before it sees a hog and one that yips after it first finds it and it breaks. I have always owned and loved silent rough curs but i would not get rid of a dog for doing what yours is when it finds most of the pigs. JMO.

[quickfire]

Yeah she doesn't keep yipping, but man does she throw a fit. Then goes right back to trying to find him.
