Title: Hogs mixed in with cows Post by: KevinN on February 07, 2014, 07:57:00 pm Had a pretty good size sounder right in between some cows. My dogs are broke so I led them up. I know the wind was right and they SAW the pigs but didn't go in. Pigs moved off a bit so We backed out and came around the corner...finally they go in and Bella snatches up a 15lb shoat.
Bella's the oldest of the group at 2 years...the other 2 are 16 months and 9 months. Guess just the fact that they know their not suppose to mess with cows confused them? Anyone ever bayed or caught right smack in the middle of a herd of cows?

Got out of the brush and saw the cd heading right for a herd of cows. I about had a stroke, they parted like the red sea to a bay right in the middle of them with a good size boar. Ive seen lots of times where pigs would run with cows.

Title: Re: Hogs mixed in with cows Post by: decker on February 07, 2014, 08:19:26 pm We were hunting and had 2 dogs who show treed a pretty good ways off shut the buggy down about 300 yards away and walked up on two dogs baying in some working pens with about 15 yearling heifers in there and my heart stopped, but was puzzled because neither of these two dogs trashed on a cow before. Anyways walked up there to get the dogs out and they were baying a hog in the chute. I guess the hog went in there to get him some feed, but never made it out.
