My Sons and I got an invitation from Thre' "Look Fur Em" and Ale "Cajun Chaos" to come done to South Louisiana for some good ol hog hunten. We arrived Saturday evening and after getting the dogs situated we headed over to Herceils to look at his Dogo Puppies. And boy do they look GOOD ! ! After visiting with them for a while we went to town and got a few supplies for out Sunday Morning hunt. Finally got in bed around midnight and back up at 4 am. We headed out and Meet up with the Property owners and some others Who i cant remember all there names "sorry" . We were hunting on the Missisippi river near Fort Adams Mississippi. We drove down a long dirt road untill we came up to this little community that looked to be about 200 years old. It was really neat. Only one store in this community. Anyways we went to the first spot and the water was rising due to the flood that came during the night. We walked about a mile and Nothing. We headed over to another spot adn as soon as we got in the briar thickets the dogs went CRAZY . We were running Thre's Catahoulas on the ground and they we sing the sweet song we all like to hear. I turned Recado and Daisy loose from about 400 yards out and we started busting brush. I was on the four wheeler and the briars were so thick that I was ridding on top of them and mashing em down. Ale hopped on the back and we got the pretty quick. It was a pretty nice Blond Sow about 180 lbs. We got her stuck and realized that Daisy and One of Thre's Bay dogs was gone and baying another hog. As we were loading up this hog and putting Recado back on the 4 wheeler one of the guys was heading to the other bay. We started making our way to it and we hear a shot so we stop he hollers it went this way . Just a few mins later we hear the dog baying again. So i turned Recado loose and Just like a Freight Train Recado went in the Briar Thicket and Sealed the deal. Thre' and I legged it and let Crystal, The land owners Daughter stick this one. It was a nice Boar about 215 lbs. The guy that Shot said that when he got to the boar, Daisy had it by the ear in an open area and the hog was spinning her round and round and hitting her with his teeth. When the boar saw him coming he hit daisy and knocked her off and ran right to the guy. Thats when he shot at the hog. So after we stuck it Checked Daisy out and he vest had about 4 puncture holes in it but only one went all the way through and Daisy got a little poke in her chest. Thre's curs rolled out again and had another one bayed up in another briar thicket, We cut Recado loose again and right before he got to em the hog broke and left the country. Recado decided he would go with them so off he went. Just a few minutes later one of the other curs had a bay going so Thre', Ale, And I start heading that way with Daisy on lead. Daisy gets there and seals the deal and Thre's friend makes a perfectly placed stick and the hog is down. It was another sow about 150 lbs. After all the other dogs come back we decided to go back and regroup and eat a bit of lunch. Got my curs out and made another round and the dogs left out and a little while later Uno comes back. While we were sitting there waiting to hear from the other dogs Uno started baying about 50 yards from us in another briar thicket. Turned Recado loose again and he goes crashing in there and we hear a big huff and crash the hog breaks before he get to him. We never stopped this hog. It was getting late so we left and went back to Thre' and Cleaned all the hogs got showered up. Herceil invited us over for supper so we went over there. He cooked a SAUCE PICANTE from the sows he killed last weekend. Man you talk about some fine eating. If yall ever get a chance to eat Herceils cooking you better take advantage of it. It was FINE. Thanks Herceil. After fellowshipping a while we went back to Thres and got things ready for another hunt Monday morning. Got in Bed about 1 am back up at 4 am.
This hunt we went to Cat Island Louisiana. We were hunting with one of Thre's friend Will. We caught 2 small pigs right of the bat. Then hunted for a while and finally one of Thre's curs started barking in another Briar thicket. This time we had Ale's Dogo, OSO running loose with the curs, Thank goodness. After about 3 barks the hog busted out and ran across the road we were standin on and the first dog behind him was OSO , you talk about a dog that can fly. Let me tell you this dog can flat out fly. All the other curs were in hot pursuit and after about a 600 yard race, Oso caught up with the hog and had him caught. I legged it and let my son Dillion stick it. It was a nice boar about 160 lbs. By this time it was time to head on back . All in all it was a GREAT weekend . My sons and I had an excellent time and want to thank Thre' and Ale for having us, Herceil for feeding us and being so kind and understanding for us arriving late. And all the land owners people that let us hunt on there property. We had a BLAST, Thank you all.
