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. Shocked 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! laugh

I have to learn that lesson over and over again and the last time was this past Father's day. Seems like I bay a hog when I least expect it!

At least the pups are showing you something!

Thanks. Yea I think both of the dogs have good potential. They both come out of good blood line. I sure wasnt expecting anything like that yesterday. Tomorrow we are gonna put the good dogs on him and see what we cant do.

I did the same thing about a month ago just took my Jack dog to my lease as a riding partner while I was putting corn in my feeder I heard him bay up about 400 yds away got down to go check on him no gun CD or anything and got over there to find that he had finished off a little shoat by himself lucky I guess it wasn't the big stink but it was his first hog found by himself and man was I ever proud I must have called everbody I hunt with on the way home LOL

Haha yea me and my brother did the same exact thing. All of my hunting buddies knew about it before we could get out of the woods. We were very proud of our pups. We were just taking them down there to let them run because my lil gyp had never been in the woods before. I never thought that they would bay one up. Guess thats what I get for thinkin though.lol
