Slim it might be on post it’s a lot to read are your dogs open on track or silent
Most all of them will chirp once they’re jumped, one pup a litter or so will be a little more trail driven than cast dog, they typically will open on hot tracks as young dogs, but I haven’t had anything not grow out of it yet.
That’s real running and gunning, sometimes I would carry my lever gun, it’s a 16” barrel Marlin. Real handy in tight brush, but I like being hands free, so I almost always carry my pistol. That means when I use it, me and the hog are close enough that we’re breathing the same air. A couple times I’ve just pressed it right up against them.
Your camera man will get better with more experience, I like to video the bay/catch because things happen so fast I forget all the details of how things play out. It gives me an opportunity to review the action and maybe learn something that might help me in the future.
You and the dogs did real good, that kill shot is epic. That boar is a real one.
That wasn’t even the shot that put him down. Took one more. Luckily that little gyp of mine never turned loose of him. He was about to his hole in the fence. And we were without collars or lights, and he had caught the landowners old cow dog gyp in the thorax. Minor deal but she was lunging and had to be closed up.
Little fun new for us that’s developed this week as well. We believe we have the next generation of leopard dogs on the way. Believe Tim got his Goose and Tiny dogs crossed. Tiny is starting to show bred after living with goose for last 3 months.
