I recently picked up a large ranch north of Lampasas county and been waiting for regular deer season to end. We were rained out on monday but rescheduled for tuesday.
We had hoped for clear 65 degree weather but instead got a cold, foggy and somehow winding suprise....never had wind and fog but that was the case.
We headed north to Evant to do a little exploring on the new place and hope to get in pigs. The ranch is really nice and set up perfect for driving. We decided to use the strong wind to our favor and let the dogs work from the ranger as we drove draws and deer feeders.
It took us a few hours of exploring but finally found some hogs.
James' Sage gyp, me and Jack, my catch dog
We got into a good draw with lots of cover and water and sent the dogs....James' dog Ginger worked a little bit before his two curs and my jagd, Luke, were bayed. We drive around closer and hear that Sage has a small group bayed and Luke has a hog caught about 100 yards up the hill. James gets in and gets some good video before Luke finishes off his catch and shows up to the small group.
My camera man forgot his radio and our communication was not good...then i couldnt get the catch dogs released together but we made out with no issues and a double.

James with the double catch:
I held Buster (jagd) back cause he is a little rough with Luke and extremely long range. I cut him into the catch then got him to get ahead after everything was tied. He rolled out and bayed at 800 yards on a small boar.
