Hog Hunting Tenure (Whats your number)?

I started in 2004, a guy I worked with (gander mountain) was a hog dogger, we didnt talk much due to being in different departments but i told him I had been tryin to get in the sport but really didnt know where to start...... but I had property to hunt. He said he had 2 litters on the ground and would trade me a puppy per hunt.......got 5 pups and over 1000 hunts from him, we ended up becoming dang good friends and huntin buddies, still hunt together to this day.

The first hunt we ever went on we bayed a 200+ lb barr in a stand of pines in a thick palmetto patch. I have been addicted ever since that cold january mornin. I dont think I will ever willingly quit, my other 1/2 enjoys it as much as I do and believe it or not, cleans kennels and feeds 7days a week with zero complaint. She's just may be a keeper.

And to answer the question lol, i have been hunting almost every chance I get since 2004. So a little over 9years.
