Made a hunt with Larry Smith, Charles Gainse, and Highwater and his son Wes joined us Saturday. We got beat by about as many ways as you can get beat by a hog. Charley had two dogs bayed 450 yards across some backwater and we just couldnt get to them with a bulldog. He finally toned them out. Ran two other hogs out of the club and had to tone them out. Ran one Boar most of the day and he would bay up, then break and did this most of the day and then he headed across the river and we caught the dogs. Finally got on one boar that stayed put and we caught him. I know the dogs put well over 20 miles on Saturday. Sunday put on a feeder and the dogs caught a shoat, then relayed out and had to tone dogs off as they crossed out of the lease. About 11:00 we found a good track and put on it. dogs trailed out and bayed him in his bed. Went in and turned bulldogs loose and hog broke. Only ran about 200 yards and bayed again but broke again right when we turned the bulldogs loose. He went right back to where he bayed the first time and the bulldogs caught him. We are pretty sure this was the hog we were on yesterday that would bay and break. Anyway had a good time with good people and some wore out dogs.   |

We sure enjoyed the round with yall... I dont know what happen to the easy hogs up in North La.. they dont cooperate like they use too..
We tried everything in the book that day.... swimming for em,, chasin them down and running over them with the utv,, relaying dogs ,, thank god their was a old fence in the woods that the dogs ran the boar hog to and he had trouble crossing the fence so they bayed him right by it.... But after we lightened his load in the back end the fence it didnt stop him from putting us up a tree when he found a way under the fence ...LOL...
I did find out that a Honda Rancher with a full tank of gas gets rite at 34 miles to a tank...

That sounds like educated hogs doing all that running to those other places. You gotta hate that. Glad y’all caught some in spite of the runners. We all get beat. Don’t let that bother you because y’all catch more than you lose for sure.

Can't blame the dogs for any of that, they did their job, it was just tough smart hogs. That was a decent enough hunt for that kind of circumstances.

Looks like a successful hunt considering the circumstances, hogs are smart and tough. You and your dogs did real good.
