EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I lost my Hunter dog today... he would have been 5 next month. Hunter was a Tweety/Winchester grandson and sure turned out to be a good one. He found and bayed his first hog at 9 months old and never looked back. I bred him to my Lucy gyp a couple weeks back, hopefully she takes and I'll have a few more pups out of him.

RIP my friend...

Hate to hear it bud, he was at the top of the short list for sure. 

Mike I hate to hear that...I know he was one of them you held in high regards.

Hate to hear that Mike... I have two 8 year old males that are not only hog dogs but my buddies too..... Sure is hard to lose one like yours!  Hope u have a bunch of pups and they turn out just like him!!

Sorry buddy, he was sure a pleasure to hunt behind. Been waiting since I heard it elsewhere, hoping it was a nasty rumor. Hope he went doing what he loved but I understand if you don't want to talk about it. Hope Lucy took. He'll be damn hard to replace. RIP Hunter, keep baying for the almighty.

Sorry very nice looking dog RIP Hunter

Real sorry for your loss Mike. Sure hope you get some pups off him.

Mr. Bolen that's some real sad news I was really hoping he'd pull through. Your Hunter dog has been a HUGE part of every hunt you've taken me on and I sure hope some of these young dogs of yours turn out to hunt just as hard as he did.

I wish I had more pictures of Hunter and the hogs he's put me on but but he would never stay around after the hog was caught it was always on to the next one. Truly an amazing hunting dog

Sorry for your loss.

Rip hunter

Hate you lost a dog like that.  He sure sounded like a good one.  Love his brindle and his build.

Thanks everyone, he was a tough one to lose. But, I've got several young dogs that are coming along pretty good... it just seems like starting over every few years when you lose ones like him. 


Cody, his liver finally shut down on him after spending several days at the vet. He got hit with lyme disease and swine brucellosis at the same time.

Aw hell, he sure will be missed.

Sorry to hear that.......Its tuff to loose a great one .

It's always the good ones that have to go early. Sorry for your loss

So very sorry for your loss....

Sorry to hear, RIP Hunter

RIP. Sorry for your loss

I'm sorry to hear this mike! It's tough to lose one like that. I enjoyed hunting behind Hunter the little time I did. It's tough losing one the way you did, we know how you feel. RIP Hunter

Sorry to hear that Mr. Mike, he was a dang fine looking animal. Hope your gyp took and you will have some pups runnin around soon.

Sorry about your dog Mike.

Dang Mike Im sorry Bro, what happened?

Sorry to hear about that ..

Didn't like to hear about Hunter dog, was another on that line that turned into a good one I enjoyed reading about watching him mature into the dog he became. Remembering where he got his name. I hope Lucy got bred and You get another generation them to carry on the ETHD legacy. RIP HUNTER

Dang Mike... I sure hate to hear about this. Blake told me about if not too long ago and I hurt for you. He was a dang good dog and good lookin too. Good luck with the pups bud.
