My first hunt was during high school about 5-6 yrs ago.  I'd been around the dogs some before just never got everything right to get to go when my buddies hunted.  It was one I definately will never forget.  There were 3 of us in the same class and one younger brother.  We kicked dogs out about an hour before dark and started walking into the woods.  The dogs opened up after we had went through 2 pasture fences on this big ranch and just stepped into the third pasture.  They bayed a boar under a deer feeder on the back side of a tank and ran the hog right through the middle of us.  We turned the catch dog loose and scattered.  That boar swam across the tank with all 5 dogs including the CD right behind him back toward the fence we had just crossed.  They caught him about 50 yds inside that fence  and we legged and tied that pig.  It was about 1 1/2 miles of carrying that pig back to the closest road.  We finally got to the truck about 5 hrs after we turned out.  I'll never forget that hunt because about 2 months later my buddy's brother died in a boating accident.  That was the best and first hunt ever to date.
