What's the weirdest off-game you're dog have ever run. I let the dogs run around the back of the place this afternoon to get alittle exercise and we had a horn toad race. The jagd sealed the deal and brought it to me just to show off.

We had made a long hunt one day and was walkin back to the truck down the road when up ahead about 250 yrds a couple of young dogs bailed off to the right side.  A river bordered us on the right side and the timber was not wide at all, so I knew something wasnt right.  It turned out to be a caught beaver, man that was an ordeal, you just cant flip a beaver and tie him up..

Rats! Big ones!  laugh Every once in awhile the dogs will hit on a pile of brush or a bush and you see the rat run out the back, Sometimes the dogs chase for short distance but most times the dogs are still working the scent in the pile. Had a pup catch one once but that was the only time.

The jagds always catch something quirky. That's what they do. Today they got a big ole honking bullfrog behind the house in a culvert. I don't mind one bit.

I've had pups bay turtles before. I had to dig up one to find out what it was! lol.

Not exactly off-game but I had a gyp bay a tree one time. We were in a palmetto flat with hog sign every where and I had a young gyp bay hard not to far in it. I rode my horse on in and I saw what looked like the back of a huge hog sticking out the top of the palms. My horse seen it also and didnt care to get any further.
I figured it out when my other dogs come in to honer what she was barking at only to roll back out and hunt.
It wasnt a hog at all. Just part of the tree next to what we thought was a hog. lol. It grew out of the ground kind of like a horse shoe and then decided to grow toward the sky.
I didnt hold it against her. Besides. It had me and my horse fooled for a wile. lol  Embarrassed

jkcasey where did you find a horn toad? I have kinda been looking for a horn toad for years. my dad use to take me hunting up east of jasper and we would see them everywhere this was about 20 years ago. I have been hunting the same area for a few years now and have not seen any. i asked the game warden a couple of years ago and he told me fire ants have wiped them all out.


i think the water buffalo take the prize though Grin

Well I can't even come close to a water buffalo or a horn toad, but one of the guys I hunt with has a Plott female that absolutely goes nuts over an armadillo.....she's a heck of a hog dog, but hates an armadillo just as much as a hog I reckon.

A couple years ago I was hunting one morning with Tim Nichol.  We had already caught a couple hogs and the dogs had rolled back out.  Directly we hear a dog open, then another and shortly a good bay.  I was using Ruby for catch that day and I sent her in from about 75 yards out.  A few minutes later she comes running back out and is standing beside me wagging her tail.  I thought that was VERY strange so we started walking in (as the dogs are still barking).  When we got there, they were bayed on a dead hog.  It was very cold that morning, but the hog was still a little warm, yet cold enough that it had begun to stiffen.  No obvious signs of trauma.  It was strange enough that it was dead, but even more strange was the fact that older dogs were baying it!

Bryant, same thing happen to us this yr in South La.  Went huntin with some fellers on a new place and turned the dogs out, my buddy has a blue lep. male dog about 2  yrs old and he fell bayed about 200yards out.  I had my plott dog out and found it funny that he did not fall in with him. Well we walked up to the bay only to find a big sow someone had shot the night before.  We pulled the dog off the bay and my plott and him found and caught a shoat tthat was hangin around the sow.

Once I had a couple of pups about 6 months bayed up my neighbors wife while she was weeding her flower beds.  She was on all fours I saw it happen and walked over and told her they were hog dogs and must have mistaken her for a hog.  She didn't think that was funny but her husband sure did and he started bunting with me. LOL!!!

       We have them all over the place here in NM. It's kind of weird that fireants are what wiped them out there. Over here they eat ants but they are those big harvester ants and not those mean little rascals.

I have another one..... Its not really hunting, or striking, but when I lived in town, my dogs hated bums. Sometimes, when I couldn't take them hunting, I would load them up in the dog box and drive up and down Mo-Pac, stopping at every underpass that I knew harbored homeless folks. I would pull up and my dogs would stick their head out the box and bay like hell.  Evil It must have been the smell, they never barked at any other human being.  Grin

Thinking back, that seems kind of cruel. But hey, everyone was safe.   Afro
