Title: 03/19/09 Hunt Post by: madshark on March 22, 2009, 11:17:19 pm Met a friend out at a little spot I got for a quick loop. Dropped the dogs about 0730 and had one on the ground by 0800. A boar about 150# with pretty good bottoms. Seemed like a good start so we got moving again. A liitle bit later the dogs started baying about 300 yards out so we head that way. We'd get close then they'd be off again. Went like this for most of a mile. The curs finally came in and we lost that one. Went like this a couple more times as we heaqded over towards a little creek.
We lost Molly, so I started tracking. Found her and got back to the group about an hour later. We decided to start moving back toward the truck and Belle and Peanut are gone. So I started tracking them. I'd get close, then they'd take off again. Did this for most of a mile. When they finally came in both of them had blood all over them, no cuts. Guess they finally killed whatever they were after. Never heard a bark. If its under 100# Belle will usually catch right off. I am surprised we didn't hear Peanut. She's usually pretty open. Josh had a Garmin system and the dog with that collar totalled 26 miles that day. (http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z24/madshark1369/DSC00657.jpg) |
