Well we have completed the 2nd Emerald Springs Dog-a-Hog competition here in Northern Territory OZ.
It well and truly doubled in entries this year with well over 100 entries.
Biggest pig was won by Doug(aka - Arabs or Nothing) and his crew = 100.5kg dressed.
Which they backed up from last years win also.
Most pigs dogged was 61 for the 3 days. Our team of Catahoulas were runners up with 59 dogged.
Average was probably 60kg. No monsters this time round.
Here's a few pictures of the hunt & fun @ the weigh in yesterday arvo.
No injuries except some stiffness.
Time to go. A mate from Victoria (southern OZ) flew up for the hunt.
Outback's BUSTA - I bought back from a customer 3 days before the hunt. (he is my BO's brother out of my original import bitch BLT's OPAL the Sire was Conch's BOdie)
No bitches were hunted on this trip due to all being in heat!
The dogs show some interest in this area on the way in to a spot we were heading. I opened the cage on the way out to see if they we're still interested...They pulled an average sow out just after this picture
My mate from Victoria with a Boar & Outback's BO (Busta's brother)
BO reckoned he knew better spots so he wanted to drive
BUTSA show some great working ability. He arrived to me Monday night & his fitted into one of my teams instantly. He was pulling off regular 6-700 mtr finds all weekend. He & his brother BO are out my first import bitch OPAL.
Here he is after pulling this boar out of a mob & bailing him one out until my arrival.
We had to contend with Helicopters & a muster while out there in a few of our paddocks. This them finishing there muster the same time we left... lol.. we thought it crappy timing too lol
