That picture above we had already gutted that one, dogs rolled and caught another so we hung him in a tree and went back to get him. We took that picture at the truck.
Charles, we don't kill a lot of hogs, and that buckskin horse will haul them dead or alive, he is only 5 but a good one. If they are too big for me and them in the saddle, I ride behind it. Most of the places we huknt are pretty rough also, and you can't just ride every inch of it. I might have to drag to get to my horse, but that is about it. If not I do like Mr. Whitten said and take care of business where it happens. A while back caught a good boar in a really deep and steep, rough and rocky holler. After we tied him and took his picture, we untied 2 legs and persuaded him to start down the hill. He went about 3/8 of a mile on his own and we caught him again, tiedd him back up and hauled him 1.8 miles to the truck, on the horse. I have a lot of respect for those that will drag them, its work and separates the men from the boys. I used to hunt in the southern part of Oklahoma a bunch and hunted around some swamps, I am sure nothing like you Florida men do but I know a little what you mean. I got lost in one of those swamps and when we got back to the horses and mules, I asked the man I was with where the truck was. It had got dark and we were catching hogs, he told me he didnt know and I got kind of nervous, he cut his mule loose when we got out of them swamps and he took us to the truck. You can bet I didnt let him and that mule out of my sight, dark and no light aint no fun. That garmin cuts down on that now.
