Great pictures Don. In the last one it's hard to see what's going on. Does one of the dogs have a grip on the pig?
Do your dogs normally "catch" the pig or keep it busy till you can get to it?

They got it penned and took it down Mark. It was about a 150lb sow. I never let them do this but the shooter was way to slow when I got the dogs back and the hog would take off again. This is a friend of mine but he doesn't realize how quick you have to shoot with dogs milling around. About the third time the hog ran, the dogs said screw it and took it down. That is probably were Hunter got cut. Might have to handle the camera and the gun tommorrow. I am going to take Odin out anf get his feet wet with Higgins and probably Titan.

Good Job Man One thing for sure Curt, it isn't coon hunting but it gets the adrenaline going. I have to go take care of the meat, One thing about srewing around till the dogs just do it their way is they ruin WAY to much of the meat and thats the kind of stuff that gets them hurt anyway. I will be back in a while. |

I'll tell you Mack, I was thinking about getting Kyle down here to handle the shooting but then I remembered the great jack rabbit hunt and that was with #4 high bases in a 12 gage. Those 44mag pistolas got to be right on.LOL Sorry Kyle, just couldn't pass it up. ;D ;D Next time we will see how Curt or Pete does with a gun. Heck, Kyle might be pretty good after all the cards are tallied.

I just rememered something I wanted to point out if no one noticed. You don't see any hounds or any other breeds running the show here. They found this pig about a mile from the truck. I knew when they left the road we were going to have chile verde.

Great pic MR. Don , those hogs are some tuff customers aren’t they. We have a few of those Russian boars we used to use to train dogs with ( young bear dogs ) ;, it taught them to bay a little more and to stay away from big dark animals ( bears of course ) . The hogs could teach them a lesson that if they had to learn with bear it could be there first and last one . Almost all hog hunts are ruff and not all bear hunts are ,some of the bears tree and don’t fight one bit but hogs cant climb so the have to stop and fight . Hogs are dangerous fighters and can be deadly , but if you get a mean bear they can kill a dog in quick fashion ( sometimes dogs) . The bears have so many tools to use that it makes a mean one extra dangerous the claws , jaws, speed , and power . What do you think Don about the difference between bears and boars ? Taylor Johnson

Curt, Just want you to know, that jack set Hunter back with a "What the hell was that!!!" kind of deal. This is Hunters game here. The third picture down is Hunter with the hog running to escape the onslaught. That was the beginning of the end. Hunter snagged that baby on the way by and it was pretty much a done deal when the other two grabbed it.

I've heard tell of some Texans that just use a Bowie knife. It's 10 degrees here this morning, some hot chile verde on a cheese omlet would warm things up. Send that recipe out! We've sent you more than you can count without takin' your shoes off.

Good pics Don. No video? How are the roads down there now? It warmed up here and thawed the ground out. Can’t hardly get around with the pickup. It’s pretty much a walking show now. This red adobe clay is something else! Lots of snow in the high country.

Alright Hunter, Titan, Geronimo and Don!
Not necessarily in that order.
And no training required. ;D

Thanks Bob. The roads here are in good shape for now. We have had 2 3/4 " of rain in the last week or so but the ground has soaked all if it up and the roads are stable....for now. The rads on the ranch are really crownd to keep the water from setting but it gets pretty touchy if you meet another car on a curve and have to get off the center.
That's a fact Ron. Don't have to teach trailing or anything. Don't even have to increase the drive. The hog does that. I have been trying to figure out a good way to train them for this kind of "work". I just haven't figured out a way that I am willing to try because I am not grabbing a hog in my mouth. I was recently informed this is training.....on the job training I guess. Checked the dogs over again this morning and Titan took a good hit in the armpit. Opened him up about 4". Cleaned him up and superglued what I could and gave him some antibiotics. Sure would help if they would yelp or something so I know who got hit.
