Title: Bad boar in the pond Post by: smith on July 11, 2011, 07:14:39 pm Loaded dogs up with Jake and Nate and was just going to make a quick hunt, catch a hog and be at home by midnight. Little did we know we would be pulling up to the house at 6:30 am. On top of that Jake had to be at the airport at 4:30 am. Well Jake picked up some new land and we drove around for hours with not a peep until we found a windmill with a nice hog track there and could tell where he rooted around but the dogs was having hell getting him going and just never could get him figured out. The kept pounding it out and looked like my lion dogs pounding a cold lion track. Hoss, Lt and Cutter was moving it but real slow. The wind picked up a started blowing right in the same way the boar was heading, that didn't help it any. Cutter finally quit after awhile and then I saw that Hoss treed at .8 in some rough country, no roads. The wind was blowing So hard that Lt was within a couple of hundred yrds up wind from Hoss and he never heard him and came in. By this time we needed to leave in 10 min to get Jake to the airport on time, and he is really starting to freak out, and we have a dog treed .8.. So Jake said Lets go so we took off and ran far as we could and finally arrived to the bay and dumped cd. Hoss was bayed about 75 yrds from a pond, when I dumped cd all I could hear was brush breaking and a big round paint hog comes busting out of the brush and hits the water like a hippo, 2 dogs Hoss and my 6 month old pup that I walked in to the bay and cd hit the hog and caught right in the middle of this stocktank. So I pulled phone and Garmin and tossed on the bank and went in right behind them. As I stepped off the bank I sank in mudd up to my thighs. So I just fell forward and crawled up to the hog. Then I pulled for my hog stick and it wasn't there, so I reached for my little pocket knife and went to slicing hog, but I just could get his sweet spot. At this point me and this circus has been all around this pond and Jake is screaming on the bank to hurry up and kill him or he is going to get a devorse. He was really flipping out now. I finally got him worked over and Jake grabbs cd and takes off running back to the truck. I crawl out of the muddy slop and start heading to the truck and I look down on my Garmin and Hoss is bayed at 250 yrds, Jake screams something bad and I ran up to him and he dumped cd. cd was almost to the bay when a nice boar comes running by me and dogs run off to .9
when I loose them on Garmin. So now Jake is wanting to leave the dogs and go so I just told Nate to take him ans come back to get me. They take off and I took off in the dogs direction and finally found them with nothing but just some wore out dogs. I found a Hwy and told Nate where I was so when he started to head my way he could find me. I layed there with my muddy axx it seemed like forever. Finally got home and and the boar went 225 lbs. I was sure proud of that pup to hang there on a nice boar all by himself.

Title: Re: Bad boar in the pond Post by: Nathan on July 11, 2011, 07:38:50 pm It's not like we were around the corner from the airport we were about 85 miles and Jake had to catch an international flight by 430. We drove 115 mph and made it in about 40 min jake looked like one of those guys on swamp people covered from head to toe in mud and boarded a flight to the virgin islands. I haven't talked to him but I bet there was some interesting conversations on that plane. Talk about a train wreck lmao. Fun hunt
