A few years back I went for a morning hunt and caught a couple of pigs. This was late summer and it was very hot. I was home by noon. That afternoon I was hanging deer feeders on the backside of my subdivision once I had the feeder hung I heard some rustling in the brusk and I thought great the deer are already here. I started looking for the deer when out pops one of the biggest spotted boars I have ever seen. So I slip out of there real quiet and haul a$$ back to the house. This was about 3:00 p.m. and 100 degrees now looking back I should have waited until night but I got too exited. I had never seen any hogs this close to my house and knew no one ever hunts back there and it being so hot I thought this ole boar would just stand there and let us bay him. Wrong! Once I get to the house I start loading up dogs I have to take my second team because the first team is about 20 miles away. I load up 4 or 5 worn out dogs probably my second mistake. Probably should have just taken 1 or 2 dogs but I don't have cd he is also 20 miles away. I turn them lose on this boar and they find him and he takes off like a rocket. So much for my easy to bay theory. I'm a foot so hear we go they finally bay about a mile away and I huff it in there to find a sow and a few shoats. No big boar around he ran right through this bunch and ran out the back side, what a gentleman! Of course all the dogs bayed up on the sow they were too worn out to catch so I shot her and the ol' spotted boar got away never to be seen again. A few months after this all the hogs cleared out and I haven't seen any hogs or sighn in a year on this place. I have had big boars do this to me several times. I think this is an instinctive reaction even if they have never seen a dog before. I have had it happen on places that have had no dogs on it. It's a good plan for the boars because most of the times it works.
