01-25-09 Hunt

[Ladogos]

   Went hunting and Both of my sons, my brother, my nephew and my friend Lane .   Went to the first spot and hunted for a couple of hours and never got a bark. Went to another place and about 5 minutes into the hunt the dogs fell baying and sent Deangelo and Daisy to em and then we heard em hit and then started grunting. We figuered it was a decent boar.  My son Daniel Legged it and flipped it and we pulled the dogs of and tied it up. It was a nice little russian boar about 180 lbs.  We then hauled it out to the truck and put it in to the live box.  Turned the dogs loose again and made another round and Sadie went out about 680 yards, according to my new GARMIN ASTRO 220,  and we could barely hear her.  The other dogs joined her and we drove a little closer on the 4 wheelers and just as we get about 200 yards from her they broke.  We were looking at them on the GPS tracking system and we notice they are going across a road and open field.  We hauled tail that direction and when we got ther they were all the way accross the field. We saw an oilfield worker in his truck that said he saw a HUGE boar with about 2 inches of teeth running out of the woods and accross the field .  He said he watched it not knowing anyone was hunting with dog and all of a sudden he saw the dogs coming out in hot pursuit . He said the hog had about a 1/4 mile jump on the dogs.  Its amazing how they can go from a bay to being that far ahead of the dogs in that quick.  We caught all the dogs except for Boots, Lilly and Luke .  Tracked them and they rolled another 1.8 miles according to the GPS over on a property we don't have permission to hunt. So we waited for them to come back.
Then we headed to another section and in short order Sadie dissappeared and then the other dogs left out and in a few minutes we heard Sadie fire up . Then the other chimed in .  Sent De'Angelo and Daisy to em and in a few minutes we heard it squeal.  Got there and it was a nice sow about 150 lbs. Tied her up to a tree and the dogs rolled out.  After about an hour we heard a few barks and then a squeal. Daniel and Lane went to em and Sadie and Uno caught a shoat about 30 lbs .  Dogs kept running pigs for the next couple of hours and it got dark on us. All in all it was a good hunt with three hogs caught and brought out Alive.







Second hog, Sow.

Good Job!  Watch out for them Russian boars with teeth.  They will make quick work of anyones dogs if you dont get to them quickly.  The BUTCHER down here on the Red River dispatched 6 dogs in 2 weeks and has done some carving on the rest.  Supposedly he put a bunch more down on an island on the Red.

          Joey,     I hope none of those dogs that got killed were any of yours.   I know on those russian hogs 99.9% of the time we get about a 30 second bay and then were off to the races.  I feel lucky when i catch one.  I have disscusse it with a few of my hunting buddies and told them that if i keep getting on them im gonna stumble upon one of those thats gonna had my A$$ to me .   I just hope i got the stopping power to hold him and hope im close enough to get to em pretty quick.

Marvin,

Oh Yeah!  I Lost the best Silent Plott I have ever owned to him and he sliced and diced everything else I own.  The rest of the dogs that I am sure of were a man out of Alex.  He came up here got three killed one weekend.  Got mad and showed up the next weekend with his ACE pair and they were put down even quicker than the other three.  About a month later, I heard some boys out of Coushatta got on one on the island and lost 5 or 6 dogs to him, which wasnt far from where I got everything else killed.

Also, they do run and run fast!  Its nothing for them to get  15 to 20 minutes ahead of a dog.  Thats why I breed a little Walker and Bluetick into my dogs.  They will stick with one, just ask Marty and Jared.
