The terrain where you caught the red hog looks like an ankle breaker to say the least. You run through that mess, you may be bear bait if you're hunting by yourself. Nasty looking stuff.
It's always good when you can make a trade. A couple of years ago, I traded wild swine that I caught for 2 (yes 2) deer head mounts from my buddy that does taxidermy. I was loving that.
Not all that bad...I did get a little winded...think we walked maybe a total of 50 yards to both hogs.
The mounts were a heck of a deal!
im not to sure about using jagds but your catch dog looks pretty good what is it an AB?
Those Jagds usually work out pretty well. The catch dogs are an AB and a Pit. They got ice in their veins
