Here is a reason to be careful hunting a young pup. Last weekend we took a 6 month old pup (Lady) that is good sized for her age, to see if she would go to a bay. She has been worked in a pen a couple of dozen times and was doing great although starting to get a little too gritty. Our dogs bayed up in a cut hay field about 90 yards out and when we turned our two catch dogs loose we turned her out as well. As I was getting the leashes and hobbles my buddy was already heading their way. Once I got started towards them the crazy SOB was heading back my way. He was chasing a shoat about 30 or so pounds for the reason of training a RCD pup. (They are starting to be hard to come by) Chasing my buddy was about 6 hogs from a 100 to 200#’s and hot on there trail was Lady. So hot on her trail was me trying to call her off while she was biting the nuts of a big boar. She turned him around at least twice that I know of before he finely hit a fence that knocked her off and I was able to catch her. Anyway, I was sick to thank she was fixing to get her self in a position she couldn’t win so make sure you feel good about them being on their own.  Needless to say, you never no what you will come across while out hunting…..
