That is Cricket, Sadies mom that Im holding. Yes, I am much older and fatter now, so laugh it up Coal and Mike. This pic was right after the first hunt I ever videoed. The hog made a big loop when we jumped him and Bo Jack got lost. When I got to the bay, Cricket was the only dog caught on the big boar and he was thrashing her like you would not believe. She was holdin on for dear life and thankfully she had a vest on. He knocked no less than 10 holes in the chest and shoulders. I knew then she was never going to bay a hog. She was one of the hardest hunting dogs Ive had, but spent a lot of time healing up. I sold her as a CD for $400 to Steve Weaver from Crosby when she was 4 1/2 yrs old. The 1st hunt he took her on, they bayed a boar that weighed around 400 pounds. Steve said she caught on the ear and couldnt even touch the ground, after a heck of a fight, they got him legged and tied. Then they hauled him to Batson Bay pen and sold him for $200, half his $ back on the first hunt, that kind of stuff never happens to me lol. He hunted her for several more years and she died on his yard. They hunted the Trinity River all the time, wish he could come on here and tell some storys about her, he had some good ones.
