Mike, KP, thanks for having me and my crew out to hunt with you guys Saturday. WE HAD A BLAST! The kids REALLY had a GREAT TIME! They were sure tuckered out on the way home.
My nephew from Iowa has never experienced anything like hog dogging. He was talking a mile a minute when we got home. His mom and dad wanted me to say THANKS to you guys for taking him along with us. He'll have lots to tell his buddies in Iowa about the hunt. He has never rode the atv's, handled or watched dogs work, seen hogs, or touched a feral hog like he did with you guys Saturday. He experienced a bunch of firsts thanks to you guys!
And my kids. Well, what can I say. THEY LOVED IT! They want to go AGAIN!
Only they said NEXT time I gotta get wet and not worry about them so much!
Mitch and Matthew were ready to swim the bayou to help ya'll, but I stopped them at the waters edge. One step and it woulda been over Matts head. But, they sure wanted to hit the water!
Thanks again guy's! Huntin with ya'll is always fun!
Here's a few more pics that ya'll might like to see.
KP and Mike floating the hog over to where we could winch him up the bank. The banks were sure steep too.
Here is a pic of where the little bayou entered the big one. The bank was 75ft-100ft up. My winch cable was 75ft and we used all of it plus about 20ft of mule tape.
Another pic of the cutters.
All the kids wanted a pic with Clifford, the catch dog.
Here is a better pic of the hogs when they came out of the woods. We watched them for several minutes before they went back into the woods and gave KP and Mike a chance to get across the bayou and put the smack down on them. Like KP said, they were about 300yrds away and gave the kids a birds eye view. And, when the dogs ran the barr out of the woods and caught the hog they were real close and got a front row seat to all the action!
