51/2 miles from the west rim of Tule Canyon to the east Rim. 1000 feet down then 1000 feet up the other side. Two good young gritty bay dogs on two boars that stayed together and worked together. I got to see alot of it while climbing to the dogs. The dogs would hold one boar and the other would run back in and grab a dog across the back, pick him up and shake him and then they would break and run. Seven hours on foot. Toughest hunt of my life.
Longest on time 14 hrs. Two, hound Catahoula crosses. Track struck at 9pm finaly tracked to them the next day and carried them out of the canyon at 10 am the next morning. Both dogs were suffering from heat exaustion and were layed up for 45 days, but they were still bayed on a set of 100lb hogs that they had tracked off a feeder the night before.
