Florida-Texas hunt

The three day Florida - Texas showdown hog dog hunt was great! Good folks, good dogs, and just a good old time was had by all.

There were probably 30+- people all total in the group, but all went in separate directions and groups to hunt. Everyone bayed and/or caught hogs, then converged at the shady oak tree picnic table for a cook out lunch each day and tell the stories of the days hunt and catches.

Mark's Monkey and Spur dogs started out slow the first morning, but turned on quick once we put'em in the right place. That "Mater" gyp of Chance's is one hog finding machine! All of Chance's dogs have alot of aggressive hunt and desire and appear to be very heat tolerant as they never slowed down while their feet were on the ground.

Noah's and Lynel's dogs put up some numbers also which was a challenge in the warm mid-day Fla temps and dry conditions.

I did hear some trail barking hear and there, but think those were bluish colored (not yellow) dogs. :-)

Knowing Noah and having had him on some hunts for bad hogs and then seeing him up a tree was a hoot. One big old boar spinning around with Noah on his back one cold morning a few years ago comes to mind.

Hunting together with good friends is alot of fun and will always be remembered. Hopefully there will be a next time.
