Saturday morning I made my way out to the bay pen in Nixon. Hadn’t been to one in a few years and wasn’t impressed with the 2 I had been to. If for nothing else I was glad I made the trip, Reuben had made the trip down too and recognized me from some posts on here and we got to shake hands and visit for a little bit. Entered Sketch in the one dog, not really sure what I was expecting from her due to the environment and she had only ever seen a bay pen 1 time, and it wasn’t 100+ people standing around the edge of it. She did pretty dang well in my opinion. drew the biggest hog they had, she set him up and went to windmilling pretty good. Hog broke just a little one time and she looped out 2x but I thought she did well for what I believe baying should look like, apparently the judges didn’t agree, marked her 18/30 and I packed up and left. The dogs they favored in the pen in my opinion, most of them couldn’t get bayed to save their life in the woods, bay busters. But that is fine by me, I am much more happy in the woods. Sunday afternoon I decide to take sketch and rocky to a family place we had hogs hitting our feeder. Casted the down a pipeline and rocky heads east and sketch goes south west. Rocky bays first 300 east and not to long after sketch at 350 south west. I planned on making rocky hold his own bay so I headed to sketch, rocky come off his bat and came to sketch and I shot a little boar hog over them.  walk back to the truck, Rocky relays back to where he was and bays again, sketch gets in there and they go to drawing circles. I get in there and they have a heck of a group bayed in a big pretty flat behind a big lake. Dogs started to slack a little bit in the video because they saw me and were waiting on a shot. But I let them bay for about 20 minutes. I broke the hogs out of there getting too close, they get up ahead. Turn them around and bring them right back and bay and I toned them off and we called it a evening. 12th big rally these 2 have bayed since the first of the year https://vimeo.com/329091194 |

Good hunt Slim and as long as your dogs perform the way you like, that is all that matters.

Yes sir! There was a time when I would have gotten offended or my feelings hurt or did some bitching and moaning at the judges. Instead I had me a good laugh and went and bayed the heck out of some hogs with them in the woods. They both managed to work tracks out after an inch of rain had fell and they handled like I expect them too when I went to tone them off. They took the chance and proved to me they are exactly what I believe they are and that’s why I’m so proud of them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

When you can be proud of them then your feeding the right dogs.

2 years ago I would have told you I wasn’t even close to having the dogs I was after in the end. Then sketch started coming into her own, and then we raised rocky behind her and he’s got it just about figured out and Today, I will tell you I just hope I can get lucky and raise a few more just like the 2 I got.

Been a long time since I’ve seen you post Preston, how’s it going bud? Yessir it was a few good hogs in there. Them hogs don’t really get messed with back in that country, it’s just a bunch of cattle country with good post oak hardwood. Outside of the occasional hog shot at a deer feeder during season, I don’t hunt it but maybe 2x a year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They got it 6 inches hog of the ground on the brazos up in Robertson county but everything down around me was just being plowed as of last week. Maybe they know something I don’t but seems like they’re behind
