YOUR FIRST HOG KILL

My first hunt with dogs was in early january of 2006, i ran into an old co-worker bud of mine who had dogs his whole life and told him i wanted to get some dogs and start hunting. He had a litter on the ground and made me a deal for 1 pup per hunt on my deerlease, i left his house with 5 pups lol. The next morning i met him around 4:45am in nome and we met up the the other hunter we were goin with (who is now considered a friend by me and my girl. I remember it like it was yesterday, it was unusually foggy for january, in the low 40's with a light light wind. We ran the dogs by a feeder that was still spinnin corn and they bayed about 100yds out. They ended up finding and baying a bedded 235lb boar. The rush i got while running into the bay in a palmetta flat and being mere feet away from that hog was like nothing i'd ever felt, i was immediately hooked and immersed myself in it. My former co-worker is now my closest friend, we have literally hunted together 100's of times since that day. Couldnt ask for a better friend and hunting buddy, he got me into it and for that I will forever be thankful.
