I guess Shawn accidentally deleted the post that was just up here but here's the story on the last pig out of our 6 that we caught.
The last pig we caught was the hardest I've had to work for a hog. Already exausted from our "quick" hunt I was having trouble getting to the bay.
We were walking back from our last pig and we heard buster baying over a monster of a hill so I told Shawn to give me his keys and I would get the truck (which was in the opposite direction from the bay but was down hill) and we sent my ab rip and Shawns bay dog rocky to the bay.
I hauled a$$ back to Shawn picked him up and went to the top of the hill. Jumped out and ran to the bay which ended up being nearly 3/4 of a mile from the truck. Puked a few times on the way. I kept hearing the bay dogs yelping so I knew that hog was giving them hell. About halfway there I caught up with my ab Rip. (think he was as exhausted as me) We both drug ourselves to the bay and he ran in and caught.
At this point I know Shawn is no where around and probably isn't going to make it there so I run in leg the sow which was about 225 and pull out my kershaw pocket knife, lol, and go to thrusting it in her as hard as I could. I was pretty sure I got a lung and was worn out so I let her go.
She jumped up threw Buster off and ran to a pond nearby with the dogs in tow. I tried to get some video on my phone but in the heat of the moment forgot to save it. The sow got on the bank and started really putting up a fight so I decided it was time to end it so I legged her again and let the water do the rest. If there hadn't been water there I really don't know how I would have ended it. Next time I wont forget to grab my knife.

I don't know what the heck I did, guess I went to remove topic instead of reply topic, oh well.
the jist of it was, we was gonna do a quick hunt, ended up with 6 pigs, about 8 hrs later and leaving after dark, lol
My leg was cramping on the way back to truck, and when I was going to the last bay, it locked up, I couldnt run, walk, had to stand there until the knots left, while I was standing there, 3 pigs walked in front of me, I had my knife and a stick, and that was it, haha. They didn't pay me no mind though...
I guess it's getting to the time of the year to take some water with you even if its gonna be a "quick" hunt. We was both dehydrated, and my blood pressure medicine I have to take takes potassium out of me, so I'm a cramper when I don't take care of myself right.
Just a word of advice, might be a good idea to carry water with you this time of the year.

Damn.........Looks like you had a great hunt. Wish I had been with you. We all could have been trying to carry ourselves over the hills.

sounds like a blast . next time you only have a pocket knife , stick her in the jugular , right where the the throat meets the chest , you can feel it , and angle back towards the heart . that ll bleed one out faster than anything .
