Well picked a night where everybody wanted to go, and the 4 of us set out around 9pm.
We got to where the hogs have been and we set out on foot. I walked ahead with my 2 dogs and Bret Hung back walking slower. Only 5 minutes later I could hear a little commotion, but not much, and no dogs treed.
I started heading back the way we came where brets dogs were now, still not treed, but making a little more noise, so I really didn't want to let the catch dog go just yet.
Finally the dogs come up treed, but I see my buddys light there already so I keep the catch dog leashed.
I missed all the action.
I guess brets dogs had the hog caught, beeline was on the head, bambi was doing her best to bar the hog, so it was sitting down but still going to town on beeline.
Bret gets there, gets his hands on the hog, which is still fresh and hasn't run yet, and the hog proceeds to somehow shake Bret off, shuck the 2 dogs, charge Bret and then run off.
Bret tries to get the dogs back on the hog, and end up finding the hog him self a couple hundred yards away, with no dogs around. He hollers for the dogs, and now all 3 dogs get there, and no catch dog needed.
It was pretty quiet, I couldn't tell what was going on so I just took my time trying to listen for a good time to let spaz go.
Bret says that the first time a hog has got away after he had his hands on it.
We usually barr and release, but he already had some good teeth so we killed him.
A little better than 2 1/2" both sides
Bambi and beeline, beeline got beat up pretty good, but nothing major.
