Title: Long walks... Post by: Dirtydog on August 13, 2012, 10:24:50 am Well we went to run a small place and ended up on one of those looooong walks... The dogs struck right off the bat and before we knew it we had dogs spread in three directions ! After walking a couple miles and picking off a few small hogs we gathered everyone but Luke... It had been about three hours since I last seen him and had lost signal at 2.2 miles ! I was worried to say the least. We got loaded up and went searching and found signal again 4 miles away ! He had crossed two roads, railroad and a MAJOR busy six lane hwy 290... After standing on side of road yelling for ten minutes he came in from 300+ yds! I was beginning to loose my voice... Didn't get what he was after but glad to find him safe.

After crossing three hills (MOUNTAINS) we had another small hog caught... (http://img.tapatalk.com/46c3c053-18fe-1b74.jpg) Found this fresh wallow on the way ! Pic does no justice... (http://img.tapatalk.com/46c3c053-1947-18c6.jpg) After we get to wheelers we drop out on some fresh sign at a pond, and everyone follows out to .75 miles but never come bayed... Everyone comes back except Luke. He was staying around 1.2 miles bout never stayed bayed for more than five min. As I'm trying to find a way around he comes back after an hour ! Proud of ol Luke... Just wish he was a lil rougher. He has a hard time holding them by himself. (http://img.tapatalk.com/46c3c053-1bb8-1b89.jpg) (http://img.tapatalk.com/46c3c053-1c25-ef1f.jpg) Title: Re: Long walks...
