Well the other night my bud and I went out with his daughter and her friend to let the dogs get a run. Gene had seen some fresh tracks earlier that day so we let out over by them. The dogs hit the ground running we had Peanut, Calvin, Melvin, Trouble, Alee, Brumie, and the two rcd Bob and Gus. Well they kind of catchdog/rcd can go either way. The dogs were out running all around and we just kind of was riding around and stopping letting them work. Went up the hill following the tracks that Gene had saw earlier. The dogs were making a round and nothing, so we started up and was moving on when I looked at the Garmin and saw that Brumie and Bob were around 250 yards out so I killed it and could hear them bayed, well wasn’t for sure some old yote started in and had me second guessing myself. After I was for sure I drove up to Gene and the girls and said let’s go, pulled up around the corner and jumped off the rig and was running to the bay when I started jumping pigs. There were pigs everywhere. Ran in there to a cedar tree and the dogs had this 125 to 150 lbs. sow caught. I grabbed her and Gene came in and stuck her. Headed back to the rides and looked up and saw that the dogs were all about 600 out so took off after them. Got to the fence and laid it down and drove over it to out next place and found the dogs bayed up on the creek with a great big S.O.B. When we got there he broke and got in the creek and was working the dogs over pretty good. That ol sneaky hog slipped away in that water and was sitting around the bend in the creek watching those dogs up on the top just work. I was watching the pig, and just at that time he came out and ran me up a tree. The chase was on again. Well to make a long story short, that pig broke three more times before we got him stopped. Cheeked the Garmin and ran that sucker like 3 miles. When we finely got to him the dogs were wore out and we shot him like three to four times with Genes 40 and my 45. Nice hog(250) and was real proud of the dogs for staying with him. Defiantly the longest run we have been on in a long time.
