Title: Finally found one with some toofs... HUNT 7.5.09 Post by: Noah on July 05, 2009, 12:12:10 pm Haven't done any hunting for the last week or two, but this morning I finally got out to the new ranch I've been looking forward to hunting... Nobody showed up this morning, so me and Mack just eased on in the place for a nice, quiet hunt ;)
I had Ellie and Shiner on deck as we eased along to the back of the property where there's a bad swamp that I've run a particular red boar to a half dozen times and always lost him... Well, we drove as far as we could and I let Ell and Shine off to do their morning business before we started, but they took out like a shot and were bayed within a couple minutes. By the tell-tale "oh crap" bark ;D I figured it was a goodin', but I waited on old Mack to come in with me. Mack doesn't usually haul in to a bay, but because this one was a few hundred yds off, he wanted to try and get in and see the bay. As we eased in, we saw they were up against a blow down, and giving the hog LOTS of room... uncharacteristic for these two... I started to pull the video camera out, but saw the ivory hanging out and decided not to push it... goosed him out of his hole, sent A.J. in, her and Shiner caught, and I got the hog handled. A.J. got a couple pokes, Shine got a good rake to the chest, but it sure could've been worse. Property owner insists I kill everything, so brought him home for the dogs. Great hunt with better company, just a good morning :) He was an old boar, front teeth worn flat. Weighed a little over 200. (http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/aprilcmetzger/img_1157.jpg) Ellie and Shiner, Sensei and Grasshoppah ;D (http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/aprilcmetzger/img_1184.jpg) One thing I really like about these white dogs... you know real quick when somebody's been hit (http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/aprilcmetzger/img_1158.jpg) The blow down he was wedged up to, waited for him to move off before I cut A.J. to him.

Title: Re: Finally found one with some toofs... HUNT 7.5.09 Post by: Noah on July 05, 2009, 12:18:19 pm Shiner got some good "get out" training when Mack took A.J. back to the truck... Lord knows she needs it rolleyes ;D

Was 102 degrees here yesterday at 4:30 PM.......I just don't remember it getting this hot last summer. Title: Re: Finally found one with some toofs... HUNT 7.5.09 Post by: HogzgoneWild on July 05, 2009, 08:34:13 pm thats a good un'...
Title: Re: Finally found one with some toofs... HUNT 7.5.09 Post by: Noah on July 05, 2009, 08:39:33 pm CrackerC, this was the big property that buts up to the place you and I hunted. I've lost a ton of hogs that have learned to run to this place... now they can't hide from me anymore ;D We started early and it sure helped, but it sure got steamy quick once that sun came up!
Title: Re: Finally found one with some toofs... HUNT 7.5.09 Post by: crackerc on July 05, 2009, 08:44:40 pm Glad to hear you got in there, just be careful in this heat. It is some kind of hot this summer. My dogs get hot just walking around the yard when I turn them out in the evenings. Sure be glad when fall gets here.............but we have to make it through summer first!!
