Title: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: Noah on February 26, 2011, 07:40:44 pm Made it through several weekends without bumpin' into a bad one out at the ranch... we had the feeling it was about that time!! ;D
Got to the ranch at daylight and was already muggy hot... dropped Shine and Lee's Camo dog out, they bumped a couple hogs and Shiner ended up bayed by herself on this boar 500yds later... Grabbed ol' Bucho and we eased into the bay... ... as we came within' about 40yds, we could see Shine baying a good bit off of a tall, bristled up boar backed into some brush... every few barks she'd take a peak back at me, almost "smiling" ;D ... like, "how ya like this one?".... ;D ;D ;D Cut ol' Bucho to him(finally a bad enough hog to test his metal), and(I'm still tickled about this part...), Shiner actually BACKED UP A FEW STEPS as Bucho went in for the grab!!! Once he hit, him and the boar helicoptered a couple good rounds until Bucho got his feet planted good and ONLY THEN did Shine grab the other ear!!!! SHE'S FINALLY letting the CATCHDOG do his job!!! Sorry, but that has always been a major stress for me ;D Bucho finally justified the ungodly amount of feed his big ass requires today... ;D He was precisely the type of dog I needed for this particular situation and he handled it like a pro. Him and SHine really made a good team today! Good mature boar, Bucho, me, and SHine. Had he been just a smidge bigger I'd of mounted this one, good and wooly to boot!!! (http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/aprilcmetzger/006.jpg) (http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/aprilcmetzger/009-2.jpg) The meatheads mugged a 100# boar after that one that was a perty good race, Shine bayed another hog about 10am but she was already smoked by that time and ended up falling off and we bailed before burning the dogs up in the heat! Restin' up tonight, gonna hunt a new ranch in the morning... 8K acres of good hogs... no dogs on the property in 20+ years.... should be fun!!!!!!!!!!! ;D Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: bayed up on February 26, 2011, 07:46:02 pm Nice hog !!!!!!

Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: make-em-squeel on February 27, 2011, 09:48:33 pm Nice hog ESPECIALLY for 1 cur and 1 cd, hard to stop one that size when there ready to run! I perfer 2 bulldogs for those most of the time ;D
Is that a dogo or AB? Congrats Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: S VILLE on February 27, 2011, 09:51:36 pm Good Hog.......Those are some good looking white dogs!
Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: Reuben on February 28, 2011, 07:16:34 am That's a good looking bulldog you got there Noah.
You need to vest him up. Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: chainrated on February 28, 2011, 10:11:07 am Good lookin Boar hog..

Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: Noah on February 28, 2011, 07:16:06 pm Nice hog ESPECIALLY for 1 cur and 1 cd, hard to stop one that size when there ready to run! I perfer 2 bulldogs for those most of the time ;D Is that a dogo or AB? Congrats Shine's stand out elders are all one-dog-shows... just how a lot hunt down south... one bay dog and one catch dog. Not how I prefer to hunt... I like 2 bay dogs and one CD.... more distraction to let the CD get a good shot... but I'm not gonna fight genetics... hard ta get another dog to stay with Shine... These aren't "chase them till they decide to bay" dogs... these are "run to stop the bitch" dogs... often rougher than I'd like, but when the stars align... just right... ;D Bucho is a Dogo, Mapuche De La Piedra Grande is his father, hunting dogo in Argentina Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: Reuben on February 28, 2011, 07:27:17 pm That dogo looks like he is bred right. Looks like a catch dog to me...
Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: Noah on February 28, 2011, 07:40:08 pm Personality, drive, instinct... he's a 100% genetic hog dog, as much as any cur dog I've ever had... his size is his detriment... add a full vest to the equation, and he's just not effective. Without a vest he can move pretty well, he has EXCELLENT holding style(again, amazing genetic anomaly)...
Catch dog he is though... he actually reminds me more of my cur dogs, brain wise, than a bull dog.... much more goin' on in that big ol' head than a pit.... ;D If I had to pick two dogs to keep out of what I have right now, it would be Shiner and Bucho... I can do some damage with those two.... Title: Re: Good Shiner Boar 2.26.11Hunt Post by: tnhillbilly on March 01, 2011, 02:29:48 am Those are two fine lookin dogs Noah. I been tryin to find me a bucho ;D Nice hog too ;)
