Dogs rolled out and bayed on the other side of a big lake.  Loaded Hank into a boat and made it to the other side and caught another smaller boar.  He loaded in the boat and sat down listening to the bay like hed done it a 1000 times, lol.

Got all the dogs loaded into the boat and headed to another part of the ranch.

Went to a cut bean patch that had a nice set of tracks where a good hog had wondered all around last night. I turned the curs out, Hollywood went south trailing, Brit and Boss went north noses down.  I laughed to myself and wondered who was on the right track and who was back-tracking.  Waited about 20 minutes and Brit came back by going the other way. Too late though, my garmin beeped and showed Hollywood bayed at .73.  Got to him and caught this big sow, 267 lbs.

Hollywood rolled out and we ended up catching another small hog and called it a day. Not too bad  ;D

Man it must be nice to get to take your dogs to work! LOL

Getting paid to hog hunt means you're a hog hunting professional. Just saying.

or just real lucky    ;D

Now that's a helluva job right there! ;D

nice hogs and wish i had a job like that,good looking dogs like that cd , why dont u use a catch vest? he looks like he would be worth protecting.

Do you have any positions open...lol  good hogs

Great hunt!

Havent used them in a long time. Dogs get hung up too much and get too hot.  Ive seen them get killed in them just as dead as without.  there was a topic on here awhile back about cds vests snagging on trees and brush, some folks said they didnt have that problem. that very week we filmed a cd trying to get to a hog in the water but was hung up on a tree limb. Just personal preference i suppose, like anything else.

dang i need a job like yours .. you need a helper ?? great job good hogs and dogs

you cant beat that! nice hogs and all in a days work...or half days work  ;D

Cant beat that, good catch ....One day when I grow up I want to have a job like that...  :laugh:

nice hunt, thats a good size cd, how much he weigh?

i  had  loys  of  problems  with the vests  hanging the  cd's up  in the  briars  and  brush  busting the hog before  the  cg  could  get  to it ....... i  bought some  breast  plates  and  they  seem  to  do  perty  well .....caught a  boar hog yesterday  and  had  several  hits  on the  breast  plate  ....

Not bad for a days work!

Good job on the hogs. . . And  " GOOD JOB "  LOL .  Man if I had a job like that I would have a lot more fun . .   popo   

Sounds like that dang Hollywood is right on point once again ! ! !  . .   Got to LUV him . .

We always wondered the same thing about ol micheal, "why dont he use a catch vest" then you told me this same thing and i thought well my cd usually run hard enough they dont get caught up, WELL wouldnt you know it the next time hunting with him we missed prolly 3 hogs caused he kept getting caught up in briars and it sucked, so went to cut collar only after that and it acutally seemed like the dog was more mobile and didnt get as hot, i actually liked it better myself..But this is just an opinion and preference no right or wrong..
Sorry to steal the thread Micheal...

OH and this just goes to prove i DO work harder than you do...Nice Catch.

Good trip!

I sure wish you would go ahead and cull Boss, just call me before you do  ;)  Good haul there bud!

Good pictures. Sure is nice to be able to take the time to get some good pictures.  It looks like you could have been hunting in a park.  Good hogs.

Good Hunt

Good pics,and nice hunt

Good day at work right there..  ;)

Nice hunt Michael!  I've said it before but you've got the best job a man could ask for!  ;D

good hogs man looks like u had ur hands full!!!!

If I wasnt short on dogs I would without a doubt cull him, I cant stand a dog that starts fights. He hunts decent and has the bottom, and not too rough, but I just cant tolerate dog aggression. D-man stays cut up, so I really only have 3 curs to hunt most of the time.

Barr him! ;D

Thats my kind of day at the office!

Must be nice to get paid to hunt. Good hogs

good hunt and good hogs man
