close call

been off the internetr for a while cause when service goes down here in the woods they dont get around to fixin it real quick. So, I been huntin a lot instead of sittin here on the net watchin re runs of sinefeld on great stuff tv and lookin at pictures of that kim kardashin girl. Man she has more junk in her trunk than a 77 buick. My hog dogs and my coon dogs have been runnin so hard here late that I had to start feedin them more than normal. My poor old blue ticck gip Connie has run her pads clean off and she finally had to lay up. The hog dogs have been catchin a lot in the creek beds cause its so hot up here and its been humid too. Two weeks ago I cut those good fer nothin yella pups out so they could get some time in the woods. These are related to my all time best dog Girl and are out of Stripper's last litter may she rest in peace. I kept them all ecxept for one that got out of the pen a while back and took off down the creek just barkin like the woods were on fire. I thought he must have been a few cans shy to be barkin like that and i don't like trail barkin hog dogs anyhow so I just let him go. I never saw him again and he never came back and that was probly just as well. Anyway, I cut the yella pups loosed and headed down the creek just like I always do. I was on Charlie my donkey and he's been real good for a while now. I went ahead and cut Mouse my catch dog out with those pups and was just enyoying my ride down the creek when I could hear somebody bay up way out there. Now Charlie hears a bark and that old Jack high tails it to the bay. Hes way better than a tracking sustem cause he always finds the barking dogs. I really think its because he has a hate of dogs, but I dont care because he gets there faster and I aint all trying to fight my way through the woods. Anyway, Charlie is runnin to the bay, and I'm hoping those idiot pups arent bayed up on some skunk. We get to a clearing, and those pups were baying the prettiest old sow you ever saw. It was neat watching them do what they were bred to do. Made me proud and I'm sure Girl and Stripper would have been proud too. Anyway, I'm stepping off Charlie and gonne tie him up tight to a tree so he dont wreck my dogs, and all of a sudden out of the brush comes a big old boar. Now he must have gotten up on the wrong side of the woods or something because he was real mad that Charlie and I were in between him and his lady friend. He ran right underneath Charlie's belly and right in between my legs knocking me off balance cause then next thing I knew I was riding this big old boar backwards. I must have stayed on him more than a few steps cause somehow I ended up right in the middle of two hogs fightin my dogs. Mouse finally had showed up and ran in to catch something because I kind of remember seeing him headed in there in between me getting stepped on by hogs and having dogs getting flung in my face. I think I got a mouth full of one of the yella pup's butts cause somehow I had something all over my face that was foul. Man quick as I could figure out what to do I tried to crawl out of that big ol brawl, but I kept getting knocked over by dogs or hogs spinning around. Once I got out of there, I guess the sow broke cause when I turned around to see the specticle there was only the boar in there. After I made sure I wasn't bleedin to death or anything was broke I went back in to leg the hog. I got him flipped and hollered the bay doggs out and was able to tie him up and get mouse off him. I hitched him to Charlie and we all went back to the old homestead all feeling whupped. Got home, left the boar tied up while I doctored dogs and got cleaned up myself. Three dogs got hit but not anything too bad that a little care wont fix. Charlie got a cutter on the inside of a back leg problly from when the boar went under him or something. I had cuts and scrapes all over me and my jeans and shirt are beyon repair. My hat got a hole in it, but it just makes it better I reckon. I was bruised up real good, but I tell you I aint ever seen the bay that up close. It was a good experienced, but I'm just fine if I don't get that close to the action again.
