EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

On the way to our huntin spot tonight we noticed an out-of-place vehicle in one of SwineStoppers fields that he farms.  Thinking it was poachers, we decided to take a looksey and see what was goin down.  We HAULED IT,SON around the edge of the field only to bum-rush a truck that had been driven into the far back corner fence line in an attempt to hide it, all doors opened, lights on.  Two guys were by the truck and took off into the brush.Wine6978 luke-and-bo duked a donut in the field to shine the headlights on the truck.  The guys took off, we could hear them running and yellin in Spanish.  We posted up in the truck about 60 yards back, (dogs barking, catch dogs leashed on top) and spotlighted the surrounding brush lines to keep an eye out for them until the cops showed up.   Ever now and then we could hear them real close. Guess they sat there for a while to figure out what our plan of action was. Cops caught 1, and quickly found out about 13 got away. The one that was caught said he payed $7,000…Kinda sad to see what people will go through just to live in our country… it is a grim reminder to not take things for granted…   Anyways… I snapped a picture or two amidst all the excitement.  SwineStopper’s dog, Diesel, bailed off in an effort to help the cops!! Lol, he’s one hard-working son-of-a-gun!!!

After leaving the first field for the cops to finish their investigation, we did some work on the pigs!! We caught 5 all together, and in the last field we hit I had flashbacks of calf scrambles I participated in in high school.  We heard a group bayed up, dropped the cd’s and took off in the field after them.  SwineStoppers was preoccupied chasing a 3-legged 40lb-ish sow, wine6978 was helpin one of our fresh pups chase a shoat, and I was chasing about a 50lb spotted pig with Flaco and Bo and shut it down.  Meanwhile, Darla and Loco had one pig caught up, and SwineStoppers and Wine6978 shut that one down. All in all, an exciting hunt!!!! It was definitely an exciting evening—that’s for DARN sure!!!

Good job on the pigs. Illegals are always a good way to keep a hunt interesting.

Yessir, sure was...  It had my adrenaline pumping for the rest of the night!!!

awsome hunt !!!! and great title ,only way it could get better is 5 illegals. i bet papas gonna love this story!!!

Hahahaha!!! ;D Too bad they didn't catch all 13... but then again 1 was plenty for me!!!  popo It was an eary feeling to hear them running around in the brush right next to us!! 3 vs. 13 really aint great odds if you know what I mean!!! lol

Good job
reminds me of the time I was bowhunting and I caught 3 illegals ! jumped out of the tree in my leafy wear suit... Man they were shocked !

Man that's crazy, good hunt considerin'!!

that would be a blast. would b alot funner if u could have had a people eating catch dog and tied them up with mule tape marked them on the garmin and rolled on to the next one. but i know it would have been scary cause im sure they could have done some ruthless stuff to avoid capture.

Hahaha! I like your strategic way of thinking geronimo!!
Thanks everybody else- we still had a great time! I wonder how many ppl have had encounters like that while doggin...

Deer season is over, this activity as already picked up.  The ranch I hunt had 3 seperate trucks bust through the fences last week while trying to escape DPS.  We can't even leave our trucks unlocked anymore, even parked 3 miles from the nearest of paved roads.  Illegals bale out of a stolen truck and will take ours. 

Dang thats what id say a great hunt!!

Cool!Yeah you just never know what you`le run into hunting!!Glad it was`nt a gang of armed drug smugglers that might have gotten western in a hurry!!lol

LOL try 2 vs 25. If you have ever seen the video clip of the Border Patrol agent running around a mini van after illegals that is what it was like. My partner and I got 10 of them, but then again they were stacked like cord wood in the bed of the truck and could not get up and run. LOL. Glad to hear ya got 1 and some hogs as well. Jim Wells is bad on Illegals right now. They cross my families land all the time down there. Caught them on a game cam going to a feeder and eating the corn them self LOL.

What we need is someone to start trainin some real loose bayin hound dogs that'll roll out and go to the next one once you get there and hand cuff them. They could sell the dogs to border patrol. Not sure how you would train them though? ??? Haha

Just use Diesel SwineStoppers!!! He seemed to know what to do!! lol. An ol Loco just follows the bay!!!  ;D There's a team right there for ya!!!


Man, that sounds exciting!!!  lol. Where is your families land at???

Just get a person as a dummy and shove some tortillas in his pocket and run!!!!!  They will get use to the scent of things! ;)

Well I reckon if you could get one to "volunteer" >:D it would make things a whole lot simpler. But I reckon it might be frowned upon turnin one loose in an electrified 100 acre high fence and doin a canned hunt. haha

That would be a good one! 

Follow the trail of bean farts. A half decent winding dog would have no trouble. popo

Not a bad idea only problem is the dogs might get a little gritty chasin a food scent. Lol

Just outside of Alice going towards Freer. I can be in Ben Bolt, San Diego, or around there in no time from there. Can't remember the road name LOL as I always drove by land marks to it. LOL IE turn left at the log cabin style home LOL.

There was a vehicle that bailed-out about 5 miles from SwineStoppers place.  The owner of the vehicle was inside the vehicle and three occupants bailed.  The driver of the vehicle was carrying a shotgun and two other occupants were each carrying long rifles.  All three that bailed were back-packing narcotics.  The owner of the vehicle stated he was car-jacked.  Make sure your strapped if you go out hunting.

Yessir!! Thank you very much for the heads up!! Ya'll be careful as well!

We will have to get together one of these days when you get a day off!
