Lrhlrh89, Jason, Roger and I headed back up to Albany Saturday night with the kids in tow. Ended up with 7 and two good boars.
Lrhlrh89 and I picked up a pair of Stags this week. They are coyote kill dogs but catch hogs as well. By the third bay they were hookin' it to the bay dogs. Meet Dallas and Wild Bill:
Track, Rooney, Leo, Smoke and Sam bayed this nice boar across the Brazos. They weren't coming off and the bulldogs would have drown so I started swimming with one arm in the air to keep Roger's 357 dry. We (Jason and I) were halfway across and the baydogs caught. Boar hog whoops them off and goes "under" the bank. When I slid down into the river I couldn't see him, but could only hear him poppin' his teeth and see steam coming out of the "cave". He lunged out and grabbed Tracker by his collar, taking him under. I grabbed the dog and me and boar hog are playing tug of war with poor old Track. I won and threw him up the bank to Jason. With all dogs clear, I shot twice and he came bustin' out. I finished him off, no dogs hurt and the kids had a blast watching it all. Lucas got this little western on video, we'll try to post it tonight.
Good eatin' sow. She's at the processor now.
This was one of the toughest boars I've caught in a while. Kudos to Brody and Debo for locking him down good for us.
Kids running to the bay.
Hayden leading his new dog (I think).
