Sunday, Pup Hunt...

[Silverton Boar Dogs]

The weather finaly got nice today and went for a little training hunt. I loaded, My Little bulldog,Smoke a 2yr old strike dog, Whart, and Mable, 2 pups that had not been in on a bat yet. Hunted the pasture behind my house, it was a good time of the day to catch some smaller hogs up on top. Went it less than a mile and all 3 dogs got piggy and ran off into the wind. Heard Smoke and Whart bay a few times and then they all locked down. I drove up to within 300 yds and kicked out Littlebulldog and ran to the bay. They had a little sow bayed that had been sucking piglets over the winter and she was just right for the pups. Littlebulldog got a nice jaw hold and it was game over. The young pups did a great job on their first hog.

Nice, I bet if that hog was laying still 20 yards away you wouldn't be able to see him. His color camo's him perfectly in those rocks. Nice pic's.

I sure wish "Grace" had been on that one. How's she doing?

very cool paul. is there some sort of black and white effect going on in these pics? or is it just the shade and the light right there?

Looks like y'all have a bunch of spotted ones up in that country?

Paul,
Nice hunt and good pics of the young ones.  I think they are gonna work!


Sean,
Those look like color photos but I think it was bright out side and they overexposed due to high sunlight

I'm pretty sure smoke and Wart will make you happy for years to come, if nothing happens to them.  Those are some good looking young dogs.  Thanks for sharing the hunt, Paul.

Thanks Jarrod...Whart has just gone crazy in a good way. He is just gone when I put him down and runs with the finished dogs for all he is worth. That was his first hog, but he has been on a bunch of cattle, Mable, the wite and black spoted dog, is a litter mate to Whart by a different male, and she is going to be the same way, she has been on no cattle and that was her first hog she was baying her butt off and caught with the other dogs.

I have 3 more that are a little younger that should turn on soon.

Mable looks more like a "Spot" to me.  She's got that one big ol' spot right up above her tail....

I really need to get out there sometime soon & get that pup.  I get more excited about her everytime I think about it.  Or... I guess you could deliver if you wanna come for a hunt with me, Lance & Corry.  I'll put you up & feed you an aged steak for your trouble!!
