Made the trip down to Egypt Friday, to turn some young dogs out with Tim and our cowboy pal Zach.
Took several casts to get in them, as it was dry even in that river bottom country. Think we had up to a dozen yearlings and long yearlings out at once lol. Bunch of shoats and a few sows but think we caught 8.
Highlight had to be when just about every dog we had brought had a sow caught on the far side of the river. We managed to talk them back and in to bringing the hog back across the river to us.

Video is about half way through them bringing her back. We had called most of the dogs out. Think it was king, spoon, one of Zach’s dogs and a gyp pup Tim is hunting for a friend left baying. Speaking of King I have to give him his due. He kinda fell in line on the first hunt I took him on and has hunted like he is a made dog since And he’s been straight on hogs too. If you like dogs that want to bay hogs, you’d like king.
Tims pilgrim dog (brother to Misty and spoon) hadn’t quite shown the fire to go and hunt a hog for himself the last time or 2 we’ve taken him, been hanging back waiting on something else to strike. We held him back for first few casts and he was losing his mind so Tim finally let him down. He acted like he got the message. Got him some gone and stayed that way, just seen him at a few of the hogs.
Getting close to a point where we can start hauling the 2024 pups. Me and Deputy dawg have a friendly bet to see who can get all their puppies started before we shut down for deer season.
Sketch is headed on next weekend to go get another boy and one of her pups started in south Texas. Only took almost 9 years for me to get to a point where I don’t need her. These days if we don’t catch a hog, she is not/would not be the difference. Gonna miss her around the house but she’ll get to come retire to my front yard whenever she finally gives it up.
Gonna through her on the truck just cause this week so we can hang out, and going to dang sure try and go bay one last hog with her before she leaves.
