Most Memorable Hog?

in the early 80's, i had just started hunting with dogs. i met an old hog hunter, who took me under his wing and taught me a few tricks of the trade.
at the time i was hunting cur dogs and pit catch dogs. i asked him to take me down south around refugio and to hunt big hogs. his words to me were. son you are going to get your dogs killed.
we set up a hunt for the end of november on a full moon night. the air was cool and the dogs were running good.
well we had a second trick up our sleeve. we had a ranch hand taking us hunting and he was the horse wrangler. so all he did all day was ride the ranch braking the young horses. he new were every hog on the ranch hung out.
we pulled in the gate, and pulled up into the pasture. the wrangler told us a big hog was staying in the area.
we dropped the tail gate and the fight was on. the dogs ran about a 100 yards and struck the hog.
the hog backed into a bush and started cutting dogs. i walked up to the tree and observed the dog with one bull dog on his ear. i pulled my knife and walked in for the kill.
the hog came around and laid the bull dog out. here i am standing under a tree with one mad boar hog and no dog on him.
i pulled my 41 mag and put one round in his head and the fight was over.
as if stood under the tree looking at my hog. i felt something on the back of my neck.
i felt and found blood on my neck and clothes. i could not find were the blood was coming from.
i looked into the top of the tree and got blood on my face. the boar hog was pitching the dogs into the top of the tree and the blood was dripping down from the top of the tree.
we had seven dogs, all were cut up and the bull dog had made his last hunt.
this hunt turned me into a hog hunting junky. i think about this hunt often. it changed the way i hunted, i never used a pit catch dog again.
the hog was only around 250 pounds with good ivory and a very bad attituded.
