RIP Ranger

Muddy, you’re right. I’ve been kicking myself for it. Ranger used to be bad about sitting on a dead pig and for a while now he has been good about leaving it once I do. They had went out and started hunting and came back to that pig after 20 minutes or so. We knew they were on it but we were trying to get a tied sow in the buggy before going back to get them and keep hunting. Lesson learned is I won’t wait before going to get them off of one if they go back.

Jsh, no it wasn’t a bulldog cross. Just a big crossed up cur dog. It actually didn’t look very serious based off the bites, it looks like they were just in a real bad spot. The ones up around his armpit wouldn’t quit bleeding. I thought I had it stopped several times and then it bled through the dressings. My buddy felt horrible about it but I can’t just blame that dog outright, for all I know my dog was the one that started it. My buddys dog had already left the area when I went in to get Ranger. I think they separated and then the bleeding got the better of Ranger. The way he was laying down looked like he had been walking and just fell over on his side. I won’t run any of my dogs around that other dog again just to be cautious. Just a bad situation and no real certainty on what happened. We were about 700 yards away when they went back to that pig and never heard anything from them.
