Title: The River Ghost Post by: T-Bob Parker on December 03, 2011, 01:12:33 am Pics and the rest of the story will follow in the morning, but, knock on wood I Believe we finally got him. Wasn't near as big as we thought or toothy as expected, but he laid the same ol tricky tracks as he always has. It was a few hours of the same ol frustration he always gives Kevin and I but at the end he had dogs on every set of tracks when somehow he ran out of luck with Kevins Duke and my Red on the right track. >:D
They bayed him in the devils pit hair long enough for all of our dogs plus Chadd to tangle him in barbed wire. We cleared the woods and made eye contact, then he charged ad we both cut the catchdogs loose. Title: Re: The River Ghost Post by: BA-IV on December 03, 2011, 01:22:08 am Sounds like he finally slipped up and y'all was on top of it...sure ain't gotta have teeth or size to make a trophy ;)
Title: Re: The River Ghost Post by: weller44 on December 03, 2011, 01:27:43 am Glad you got him..sounds like some of our river hogs
Title: Re: The River Ghost Post by: Critter Catcher on December 03, 2011, 04:18:48 am Yep finally took his butt to school..like Terry said dogs were everywhere tracking old track where he double back. Duke and Red figured it out, that ghost rounded the woods a few times then slipped out the back door but he didn't count on the two experienced dogs to have his number. They tracked him down a overgrown road to another patch of woods and that where they found him and the rest of the dogs (pups) joined in, they bay right in front of us them that boar bailed and ran straight at us and we released the pits. Dogs hanging off everywhere and getting knock off as he ran, I was running right behind the hog and dogs thru the woods till they finally stop him in some Jesus trees. I waited for the chase and dove in for the legging and Terry kneeled on top of him, end of story his days came to an end.

Title: Re: The River Ghost Post by: cward on December 05, 2011, 10:42:44 pm Runners are the best to Barr cause the only way someone will catch him is with a real set of dogs so you pretty much know he's yours. Raise the the standard in the dogs and who cares if they run.lol oh and why are you catching my hogs I seen my mark on him.lol
Title: Re: The River Ghost Post by: uglydog on December 05, 2011, 10:58:49 pm congratulations nice hog.

Raise the the standard in the dogs and who cares if they run.lol oh and why are you catching my hogs I seen my mark on him.lol We dont barr hogs we remove them and I would not want to catch the same hog twice Title: Re: The River Ghost Post by: ETHHunters on December 06, 2011, 07:10:46 am Runners are the best to Barr cause the only way someone will catch him is with a real set of dogs so you pretty much know he's yours.

I have removed hogs off ranches that wanted them gone and they have very few problems with hogs now. I might get a call once a year from them if that. So an my personal place I will Barr as many as I can. But its our place. I don't like people catching my bards that I cut so if they are runners thats even better cause most ain't got the dog power to getem stopped. Ethhunter you are correct it is much funnier the next round. Oh and I was just giving tbob a hard time as we are good friends.
