EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

UNDERDOG lost a good one this weekend to a hog. Striker was a grandson to Tweety and littermate to my Hunter dog and Circle C's Ruby gyp. I raised him from a pup and gave him to Bryant as a two year old when he needed a dog. We caught lots of hogs behind him and his brother over the last four years. That big, long legged son of gun could sure stretch out and put the heat on one... haven't seen many that could keep up with him in a hard race. I sure hated to get the news...

Striker at 9 months old...

Sorry to hear about your loss, it's never easy to lose a good one.

Thanks Mike and thanks for him as well. He was a good, solid dog and yes he sure could move out on one, flat out smoke one on a good race. He was sure getting solid this last year as the past 6mo or so I was hunting a good bit by myself. It is going to be a chore to fill his void here for sure.  He will be missed for alot of reasons. Just a cool ole dog..

You've hear of el nino....this was el negro!!

Rip Striker.   Sorry for your loss. Seems like the good ones die young.

Sorry to hear your loss mr Bryant. He was a hella of a dog. I got to see him hunt a few times and was always impressive. Damn good lookin too. Rip Stryker

Fine lookin dog.....sorry for your loss!!! RIP Striker!!!

Country Bumpkin

Sorry to hear about Stiker.

how old was he Mr. Bryant?

If he hunted half as good as he looks ya'll really lost a fine dog. Sorry for your loss.

I think around six.

Sorry to hear that, hard to believe that was four years ago they were pups.

the few times I had the pleasure of hunting behind him he showed out. best way I could describe him based off the handful of hunts we made together was that he was like a dang ping pong ball......he'd be 600yds that way then 800yds this way then 500yds that way.........lol I will tell you one thing that dang dog did some serious traveling in a nights hunt and stayed busy busy busy in the woods.

I know i've talked about it before on here in the past but a quick funny story about that ol dog........ we were hunting in dayton one night and happened to see some lights where they shouldn't have been. Mr. James left out to go confront the individuals and hunter left out with him...well time goes by and we eventually all meet up.....anyway the folks we run into have at least 7-8 dogs on the ground and we bs with em for a while, hell it had to have been 15-20 minutes and Mr. Bryant happens to look at his gps and shows striker treed like 5 r 600yds past where we are sittin talking to these guys....long story short we cut the bs hop on the buggies and head to em. We get there and low and behold ol striker done found him a boar in a hole.....good night and a great memory of a solid dog! hope you find another just like him Mr. Bryant.

dang didn't realize he was that old.

They are 4 1/2 years old.

Thanks Mike, I thought they were older.

What a goodlookin dog, RIP Striker.  Sorry for your loss. 

Dang man! Hate to hear that!! Sorry for your loss bro. How is preacher man doing? I saw somebody say he got it pretty bad too huh?

One hell of a all around dog for sure going to be missed . RIP STRIKER

Thanks T-Bob....Preacher man is going to be fine, he didn't get near the brunt of it like Striker did.

Omg. Im so sorry to hear about Striker. We had some great times hunting behind him. He was a great strike dog. He always produced hogs. One of our best hunting memories was the hog that Striker and Preacher found and bayed in that cave in the creek bank. I know that he will live on forever in our memories. Man, we are really going to miss him.  :(

Thanks all. Thanks Mrs Dinah that was a fun hunt for sure.

Here is the "cave hog" Justin and Dinah are talking about.

Dang good looking dog, sorry about your loss underdog.

I was sorry to hear the news Bryant. He was a good dog for sure. Striker was one of the dogs that showed me what i needed to look for in a hog dog. Hopefully preacher can step up and take charge for ya now. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/12/beze5yvu.jpg)

Sorry...rip striker

Sorry for your loss :(

Hard to lose a good one. Sorry for your loss.   R.I.P  Striker

sorry to hear that about your dog Bryant...he sure was a good looking dog...

Sorry to hear that. Good ones are hard to replace but it can be done. The special ones might have their spot filled but they're never replaced.

Sorry to hear about your loss Bryant! I enjoyed reading about him all these years

Hate to hear that Bryant. Rip.

Mr.Bryant
Very sorry for your loss

from me.....who else. tapatalk

Nope....they had him bayed for an hour and a half and when we got 100yds from them at the bayou he broke.

looks like ya got your mission.....

from me.....who else. tapatalk

Strange thing....I have had a dream twice were I could hear him bayed, I miss the big ole boy. I was lucky tho to get a Obama X Tweety young gyp to hunt with Preacher man ( he is out of Obama and is a Tweety grandson) and Striker was a Tweety grandson also so I will still be hunting the blood I like. Going to give her a try this weekend.

That's a fine lookin dog. I hope she makes you happy!

Good deal , hope it works out for you!

Bryant, I'm glad you got her and she'll finally be put to use. I think you'll be pleased if she progresses like her brother and sister have.
