Trip south on Saturday was a mess but a few hours and thousand acres later Nate’s Tracker dog rigged a boar. Ended up with 7 or 8 cur dogs coming back together on him and while we were watching the bay the curs caught him. Tracker ended up coming home with me. He’s a 6 year old out of sketch. This weekend was first time I’ve gotten to see him go due to injuries every other time I’ve been down. But Nate knows a dog and says he is one. Hes a pretty bad dude off the rig, Or on a track as that is how they hunt down there. We were between Kenedy and goliad and wow it was dry, even compared to what we have been at home. Thankfully just got 5 inches here in Swiss alp this weekend.

Our dogs hunted okay but could never get a track going. About 1 am I knew it was going to take tracker getting a good rig, and sure enough he did. Brought tracker home to try to cover misty but I believe we missed her. I put king over her early last week and I reckon she may have taken. This opportunity arose and we figured we’d see if we could split the litter but I don’t believe they tied.

If Misty took to king I will be plenty excited and we can try tracker again. King x Misty is a good cross by my math on paper so we shall see.

Went and caught 2 yesterday in the pouring rain yesterday evening with Tim, Rhett, and an Ex MLB Pitcher by the name of Homer Bailey. Soon as we casted dogs here it come. Rained 1.1 inch in about an hour on us.

It was supposed to be a handful of hogs trapped in a netwire pasture. The struck, it started pouring. And goose directly run them out of there into the neighbors and the other dogs were trying to get to him. Once we figured out what was happening we opened a gate and let help go to goose. They bounced the group around for a little till the twisted sisters Lulu and Theresa put them back up in front of us. Caught a young boar.

Dogs rolled and after a little race put a good sow up in a spring against the fence the crawled out of and we got to watch 6 cur dogs flat give her the business. We called it after that but Mr.Bailey left us an open invite to return when weather is better. He said to bring the cavalry cause he’s got the hogs. Look forward to making the trip in the future.

In other news we’re headed south this afternoon to go hunt with Nathan and take flip and flop back to him. He ended up in a bind for some young dogs after a hog crippled 2 of his a while back. 

I’m also carrying a gyp of mine down there to try to get covered by his Tracker dog. Tracker is out of sketch by an own son of hers. And he is puro hog dog. I’ve already got the gyp covered by one of my studs but we’re going to see if we can split the litter. Hopefully more to share after tonight.

That’s a lot pork y’all looked at in a couple of hunts. Rallies like that big one can be intimidating to some dogs. That’s a lot of loud all one time. Glad to hear Amber is doing good sounds like.

I am president of the Amber fan club. She is a nice young dog. Lots of hustle.

Finally got the whole crew together for a hunt at a one of ours(Tim’s) good spots today. Feed bunk country with about 300 acres of sorghum planted in the middle. Most folks have probably never been in hog country like this, there’s some jumbos, but it’s the sheer numbers. This is old hog farm country that a when the hog market tanked, folks turned out what ever they had. They couldn’t afford to feed them.

We spent most the afternoon on north end of HQ. Caught 8 hogs over 150 in maybe a 100 acre block of woods. Caught 2 with just bulldogs. I caught a 150lb sow that the dogs had bayed, freehanded. Oh and I flat bald faced missed a chip shot on a hog breaking right at my feet. He put a hell of a juke on me and I put a round straight in the dirt. Tim got it all on video.

Rhett and a buddy Lane left and me and Tim went south of the sorghum. Usually this is where the jumbos are. We bayed a group 100 yards into the neighbors. When we walked into the first rally it sounded like we were at Sturgis for Bike week. We bayed close to 200 head together. Now 100+ were under 20 lbs. but there was a pile of grown/big hogs. We broke the bay about 4 times and every time we’d watch 10-20 hogs leave and when we finally turned back to go to the buggy from the last bay. They still had I’d say 20-30 grown hogs bayed. Cooler than it was impressive. But it was pretty cool. Called dogs out at dark and Went had a burger and couple beers with the land owner, 500 yards away from where they were bayed at this country store there in that little community.


Maverick come down Monday afternoon. Nathan Was supposed to come up and get 2 yearlings he sent me and time months ago that were sending him back now that he’s in a bind for some dogs after a hog crippled 2 of his young nice gyps.
Nate had to back out so me and Mav took spoon rusty and mavs Goose and Amber across from my house.
 
  Bayed a good group off the back and let em go for a while. Killed one of that. Amber and sooon carried one 150 south and bayed. Rusty come back to them. Killed it. They rolled back to goose bayed 600 to the north. Killed another good hog. Then they rolled north, got in some shoats and we caught them off of that and called it an evening. Mav took Rusty home with the option to buy him if he likes him enough and thinks he will help him, or to just use him as he wants unless I need him. Maverick is at the point where hes ready for a 3rd dog. Hes got a pup from Nathan that’s just not mentally ready yet.
I’ve got 6 head need hunted myself and not near enough country to do it,so rusty and him will both benefit from being together I think, hopefully it will end up a good deal.

I like that red color

Thats a big girl, ive never caught one bigger than that.

In 22 yrs of doing this I think the biggest hog ive ever caught was in Sherman Tx, couldnt get him to a scale but had to be 400 lbs, that spot had a bunch of big hogs on it, a few sows had to be 300 we pulled out of that spot over the years

Thank you he is coming along he is cut under chin pretty good about week or 2 ago by a good boar hog then last week caught good barr that busted it back open so I didnt take him yesterday
