Title: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: Silverton Boar Dogs on September 25, 2009, 12:34:54 am had a hunt set up with Rafter F before dark. He calls and said he was leaving the house, I was just starting to load up my dogs. He calls again and yells throught the phone "bring me a Dogo, I am at the county line and just dumped the box on a big boar". Well I grab Adora throw on a vest and tracking collar jum in the truck and haul butt to the county line 4 miles away. I can see Wes's truck off to the north and the phone rings when I answer all I can hear is squelling and dogs baying, he didn't need Adora. I got there just in time to take some pics and help load the hog, off to my place to staple up two dogs, both cut pretty good but not serous.
Well, now we were behind schedule getting to our milo patch, we hunted around it and then Wes walked the dogs out to a lake bed in the middle, hog sign everywhere but we couldn't get a track lined out. We decided to bring the mule next time and try it during the day and ride through the middle, they are out there some where, think I will have to bring Jessie for that one. Congrats to Wes and his pack, boar went 228# with 2 1/2 inch cutters......He will be posting pics shortly.

The funniest part of this whole adventure, was I saw a car swerve to miss this hog as he ran across the highway about a 1/2 mile ahead of me.

If Paul is up to it this winter, we'll see about getting some pictures in some of the rough country during the daylight. HAHA just kidding about you being up to it Paul, I think it might be if our dogs are up to it.

Title: Re: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: rafterfpuncher on September 26, 2009, 09:23:46 am Thanks for the comments guys, we've been catching several here lately but not much to brag about. It's about time we caught a good one.
Raider; If I remember correctly, we caught the one that ran over you about 25 yards from where he hit you. If you serious about needing some more of these dogs, you know how to get ahold of me. Thanks, Wes Title: Re: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: southsidehunter on September 26, 2009, 09:53:43 am I was refering to the size of the 228 lb hog filling the tailgate Cutter.
Title: Re: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: southsidehunter on September 26, 2009, 09:56:09 am Someone else could of easily said he went 300lbs, I'm just saying so yall don't get all mad at me ;D.
Title: Re: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: crackerc on September 26, 2009, 11:28:52 am Good hog, good looking dogs and quick hunt......it doesn't get much better than that!
About the whistle, I use one just like it for my dogs. If they can hear it, they will come to me. Works great in the woods as this is the first one besides mine I have seen anyone else use. I mean they will come to me if they are just off hunting. If they are on a hog I can't get them to come to the whistle......... Title: Re: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: HogzgoneWild on September 26, 2009, 11:33:37 am Nice hog, and you know the huntins good when you can just dump out on the way to meet your huntin partner... :D
Title: Re: 9/24, partner kills a big one on the way to my house Post by: rafterfpuncher on September 27, 2009, 09:50:57 am Cracker, I'm in the same boat, if mine are just hunting and I blow this whistle, mine will come in but if they are on a hog, its takes a bit more than my whistle to get them off. I can usually call them off of cattle with it when catching cattle with these dogs though. I don't understand why they will call off cows and not off pigs with it, probably something to do with the pig squeeling, but not sure. Got mine from www.bordercollie.com (ftp://www.bordercollie.com)
