Your buddies gyp died and his pup had to be carried out. That sounds odd to me. Why did the pup have to be carried out?

I will get with you about Lizzo.

Those wild lemon thickets are as bad as I’ve been in. The thorns are brutal but even worse they are from the ground up and the trees can and do grow so close together. I’ve gone in dressed and came out nearly naked. They’re bad enough to make you ask if there are any on a place before you hunt it. It’s the same kind of fear you have when you start out of your front door. You gotta open it slow and look first to make sure the band of wild women aren’t out there waiting. Trying to navigate through them while they are grabbing and stripping at your clothes is nearly impossible.

Rhett would have to tell the specifics of how long he’d had them dogs out, or if he sent them to the dogs bayed when this all happened.

But mid morning we had done caught a few and I think had the 3rd sounder bayed for the morning, and it sounds like a big one. The one hog we seen come off of it was a jumbo, and the young boys we sent after the hogs come back talking like it was a war zone lol.
They bayed this group walking for 20-30 minutes and as them boys tried to get In there they broke it. Hogs and dogs headed for the highway. They bayed halfway there. Young boys get in there and it breaks and everything heads for highway. Except Rhett’s young gyp. Blaze said they just found her with her leg hung in a tree, out of it. They had to carry her most the way back then she kind of came back to. Me and Tim while this is happening are hauling butt out of this place to get to the highway/his house where the rest of the dogs are at.
Get everything caught and gidget isnt back. Look down and she’s about 150 yards off the high way in the brush right in the tracks all the other dogs made to the highway. I walk in to find her look like she went down mid stride. No sign of being hit. No road rash or broke bones. Gums showed good color. No vomit or foam or bleeding. Just a dead dog. These dogs were out of shape, but I’ve seen heat stroke and it’s never looked like this.

Just odd it was both Rhett’s dogs. Him and Tim made a comment like he has some neighbor where he keeps his dogs, pissed off cause his dogs bark, but that dude used to own and keep the barkingest yeller dogs I’ve ever heard. I don’t think there’s anything to that based on what we saw. I reckon if Rhett was set on knowing he’d have hauled her to our vet for a necropsy. Gidget may have had heart worms or something, and I think the pup just got hot/hit by a hog and just sulled up a little bit. She’s pretty green.

I saw my first wild lemon this last trip down. Those things are medieval. Nasty

Ole Lizzo is a really nice dog. I’d feed her for sure. She’s the first dog bred like that that I’ve ever hunted with. If she’s the norm for them then it doesn’t make sense why more of us aren’t hunting them. She could probably be harder, but everything else about her is spot on. My biggest surprise was how controlled she went into the brush. She didn’t just blow in straight through the thick. She tried to take trails which means less noise and more energy used getting to the hog. She also hammed a good boar it in the open pasture and the second he squatted she move to the ear. She’s a thinker on her feet and I can’t express how important I believe that is in a good catch dog. You better get her bred before you can’t. She’s got a hazardous occupation and you know what I know, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed for any of us….hog dogs included. I just so happen to know where there’s a very like minded male with lots of leg, lol.

Well if you can use her you need to come get her. Breed her. I’m going to sit on my hands unintentionally because I like these cur dogs. and I hopefully have a litter due inside of a month. Misty and king.

Now not to sound partial, but I’d concur with tdog, she is an awesome dog. As long as you understand what she is and use her accordingly, you can catch lots of, and some good hogs with her. And she’s a heck of a number 2, to back up a good bulldog.
  Appreciate you speaking well of her Thomas, I’m serious, she’s in her prime and she needs using. We can figure out something that works, just holler if you think so.

Went last weekend and caught a pile at pork chop hill. Sadly Rhett lost his best gyp to what I can best tell was a heart attack or seizure. I found her, not half an hour after a pup of his had to be carried out. She’s seemingly okay now.

That’s the only picture I got Saturday. Them buddies of ours with us didn’t know what a wild lemon thicket was. So I went and got a picture to show them. Tdog knows about that thicket. No hogs in there today.

Had some hogs coming into a feeder at some of my step family’s country just north of flatonia. This is a place I’ve use lizzo a lot but this was a different feeder and it’s been a while. 
  Hogs showed about 10. I went and got lizzo. Spotted them with my thermal about 400 yards out to make sure they were still there. I put lizzo down, we ease in the first 300 and then I turn on my head lamp and it’s full go. Hogs don’t break til they’re in my lights. We miss the big boar but cut the number 2 out. After a little back and forth I spin him the 2nd time and lizzo gets caught.

Tied him, took her back to the truck. Went back to the hog and lightened his back end up and sent him on his merry way.

Not missing any meals, lol. Love that brindle trim.

Sounds like a pretty good round
