Yesterday my brother and I decided to go check our deer cams at the lease and thought we could let the pups run for a little bit. I have a 7 month old cur x Airedale gyp that I think has great potential and has never been out in the woods and my brother has about a 1 1/2 old male cur dog that has never found a hog before.
Before we get to my camera we let the pups run for a bit. While we are looking at about a 200 lb hog on my camera we heard my brothers male dog light up about 250 yards away and my little 7 month old gyp was right there with him.
Need I remind you we dont have a catch dog or any other bay dogs that know what they are doing and Im in shorts and shoes. Not cool at all.
So my brother and I start to the bay and both of them seem to be baying hard. While we were walking up to the bay the hog broke and run. We were going to try and shot it with the pistol since we didnt have any other dogs to help out. My brothers male dog chased him for about 600 yards before coming back.
All though we didnt catch the hog we were very proud of our puppies and I will never again hit the woods with just two puppies and shorts!
