Well me and my brother decided to get a "quick" morning hunt in today, yeah right! We started at daylight, and 15 minutes into it fatgirl and lilly struck a group, dogs and hogs went everywhere. Lilly and fatgirl ended up a lil over a mile away in opposite direction, while lacie and hank where @ 500yds in even another direction. As we would decide to head towards one it would break and the race would be on. Back and fourth all morning, didn't see the dogs a whole lot today
as they all stayed gone but I liked it. Finally about 11 am lilly and fatgirl where bayed good just a few hundred yards away, when hank and lacie got there we heard the infamous sqweel...... They had a small shoate caught, then outta nowhere mamma came out and started wrecking dogs, everybody got rocked. Turned red loose to give that s.o.b something to fight with. But when she saw her coming guess she didn't want none. The pigs broke dogs scattered, had to track to red 800 yds away, finally got her back on lead and headed back to the truck. Fatgirl struck again going 2 miles and not stopping, waited as long as I could and had to load up and go to the neighboring property (which is a motorcross track
) to get her. When I told the lady what I was doing there she looked puzzled and said 'are you serious'. I explained what we do and she was very interested and excited, invited me in, stopped the practice and let me cross the track to get to a back access road. Finally cut off fatgirl and headed out, with the lady saying I could come there anytime to get my dogs, even took my number for their hog problems which from what she said they have plenty too. Was a very intense and interesting morning saw lots of hogs, got rocked by a pi$$ed mamma, and made someone educated and interested in what we do. But unfortunately I feel like fatgirl might have to find a larger place to stretch her legs as my places are getting too small for her with everytime in the woods.
