Man... "better to be lucky than good  " I need some more days like this. Finishing the plumbing on this big house I've been trying to get done with and I overhear the G.C. talking about this pack of hogs that's been running his trophy deer off his feeders....  Well, you know the rest... I explained how my "highly trained, deer broke dogs" were the answer to his problem. To my suprise, he agreed and said to load up  . Me and Lee loaded up and rode out to the place. One word... GORGEOUS. This is old money right here, their family bought 20-thousand some acres back in the day and ran a turpentine business. Got downwind of a strand and turned Ellie, Snapps, and Team-white out and it wasn't 10 min before they bayed. I heard em try and catch a couple three times, but he'd just toss em and run. We finally got within a 100yds and cut AJ into them and she shut him down. Land owners pulled up right as we caught and were ecstatic. Before I could even get him tied up they were asking if we could come back tomorrow and that this was the most fun they'd ever had! Best part is this place is only 15min from me, and I've had to drive at least an hour until now. Caught 1.4 miles from where we struck.  He only had an inch of teeth but still worked Snapps over pretty good. Gonna be doctoring for a while. |

Thanks yall, it was a fun boar with a bit more story than what I let on... What I neglected to mention was the fact that when Lee and I finally broke out on the bay we were greeted by a "less than friendly" fellow with a 30-06 . I had questioned the host property owners on the "if's" of running off the property, and had been assured there would be no problem :  Well, we came out and this dude had his rifle handy, asking us "do you realize your're on private property?"... to which I responded.... "yada-yada-yada-, we've got permission with so'n'so ... let me catch my dogs and I'm gone " Well, he was less than diplomatic as I went to leg the hog... and then(thank God) our property owners showed up.....  Boy did he change his tune! From butthole to best friend in less than 5 seconds Threatening comments, became requests to join us in future hunts... (not bloody likely ).. ahh, the adventures of a hog hunter.... |

Good story Noah. You just never know what's gonna happen in the woods.
More than once I've given serious consideration to mounting an AR-15 with collapsible stock and 16" barrel somewhere on the ATV. We are running some very wild back woods and I know that someday we are going to run into a meth lab and things might get dicey.
