Man!!!! Today was quick and fun!!  We unloaded at 6:30 am and were getting everything loaded on the 4wheelers. The dogs were running around doing their normal greeting of each other for a few seconds and then they were gone. We looked for them and saw them on a tree line several hundred yards away. Three little dots running along and then it turned into five little dots. They found two good little boars (150 - 180) and were giving them heck. We hightailed it over to them as fast as we could and they had already split. One hog was headed toward FM 2269 with Horn 20 yards behind him. He hit some Georgia canes right in front of me, I almost ran into him. He busted out the back side of those and Jimmy was right there with him, running him along a brush-line. He hit some briars and Jimmy let the catchdog go. The hog busted out the backside of the brush again and hit another field and that's when Joe and the catchdog saw him. It was on then! Joe turned on the rocket-boosters, caught up to him and nipped him on the backend. The hog turned and Duke (cd) closed the distance in a couple steps and shut him down. We turned Champ out to help and he was locked down. Horn, Joe, Duke and Champ did awesome. Then we realized Penny and Bo were on the other hog and had him stopped about 700 yards away. Penny and Bo are still considered green and have only been on a few hunts but you would have never known the difference today. They did great. We got there and sent in the catchdogs and it was all over. Quick and awesome. Man that was fun. Here are a few pictures, Jimmy will add some more from his camera...  Jimmy with Bo, Horn and Penny  Me with Champ and Joe  Jimmy with Duke  |

Thanks. Joe and Horn are litter mates. Jimmy could explain it better but I think they are 1/2 Plott, 7/16 Cur and 1/16 Redtick. I know the Dad is full blood plott and the Mom comes from some careful breeding of some jam-up hog dogs but I'm not completely sure of her breeding. If you are familiar with Jimmy's dog Ann (red cur), she is the Mom. |

Ole Joe seen that hog about 80 yards in front of him and you could see his body tense up because when he took off he looked like he lowered his body 6 inches off the ground and the burners turned on and what got me is Duke the Bulldog was not more than three to four yards behind him never knew he could run like that Lmao !
Joe is one of the fastest and athletic dogs I've ever hunted with or ever seen. He will go all day long when all the rest of the dogs are sitting on the 4wheeler exhausted. Well, that bulldog gave him a run for his money today. I couldn't believe how fast Duke was. That hog turning for just a second was all the time he needed to seal the deal. |
