buckhunter1983,
Clearly that hog you ran yesterday is a Russian .
Now this is a good thread!
The intelligence of a hog has always impressed me and I have ran across a few smart ones myself.
In the SHNF I had a big red bar hog give me the slip a many a time. Never caught that sucker either.
We bayed him many times but I witnessed this particular bar on 3 different occasions, nose a smaller hog to the dogs and then slip out the back door, disappearing for the day. Yep! He would serve another hog right up to the dogs and It worked for him every time I witnessed it.
I chased him the last time he did it because he had a dog hot on him when he left. Followed them about a 1/4 mile and lost them on the bank of Lake Conroe. I was about to give it up when I noticed my horse being very interested in the lake. It took me a wile because they were so far out but, there was that bar hog and my ole red dog swimming Lake Conroe!! They were way the heck out there and I am surprised that my dog even heard me when I called him back! I couldnt believe what a big expanse of water that bar was willing to swim to get away from the dogs! I only seen him do it the once but Im sure he had done it plenty of times before.
