Title: Bad night, RIP Spud Post by: levibarcus on April 11, 2012, 11:51:41 am I saw this hog when I pulled into the gate, he was trotting down the road ahead of me. He was a good one, probably 250 and all wooly and nasty looking. I dumped LJ and Spud on him and they went across a half mile of open crop land on his tail. I kept hearing the boar snort and blow and the dogs barking, so I think they were pulling some hair as they went. He bayed in a brush pile another quarter mile farther and they bayed for a minute and he broke. LJ rolled with him and spud stayed "treed", so I knew he was bad hurt. LJ came back after a few hundred yd and was cut pretty good and was favoring two of his legs. For those that didn't know Spud, he was a stray Fiest turned hog dog. His only baypen competition he scored a 9.7. He weighed all of 30 or so lbs and thought he weighed 130. No boar was safe unless facing him or he would have a mouth full. He was a brush busting, busy little dog that never stopped moving. I wish I could post a pic of him but I cant from my crappy phone. He was a cool little dog that loved his job more than anything. He will be missed around here. RIP Spud!
