Very nice men!  Looks like a good cold/wet hunt!  Did the tourny pay out cash or trophies?

we got 600 bucks we had a blast , Im pretty sore and also the dogs

  everthing went our way all day long.

 JR had traveled 41.8 miles at the end of the day, and i feel like i did too. we all pushed our dogs and our selves to the limit.

another sucessfull hunt with good freinds it just dont get any better then that.

where were all the okie hog hunters , not interested ? no time?

some of my buds put acouple teams together and hunted the tourny in ada ,pauls valley .they came in 4th and 5th out of 18 teams.they said there were some hogs chittin corn that some of the teams turned in ;D

NOT INTERESTED. DONT HAVE PRIVATE LAND UP THAT WAY.

well I wanted to go but I'm in the Blake cranbarry hunt in Texas this weekend its an all weekend 24/7 hunt so I need all the dogs I got, couldn't afford to have a dog layed up if you no what I mean. But congratulations on your win sounds like y'all earned it.
