Mike,
I'm really glad you got him. Good job sticking with it until the job was done. It may seem hard to realize now, but I have to believe in some ways you may have become a better hog dogger from the experience.
And to top it off, you sent that sucker packing directly to dirty and suzy.....and they are licking their chops to give him some kind of hellacious beatdown.
That's gotta make you smile.
