I went hunting Saturday a week ago to one of my leases because the hogs have been rooting up the soybeans I planted for the deer. I took Zach and Chandler, 2 high school boys, with me since TShelly had to do a crossfit competition. Knowing it was gonna get hot fast I cast all of the dogs from the trailer. Dogs rolled on about .75 mile hunting then they bayed, and it broke. They ran him about a mile before they got him shut down in the neighbors lease 300 yards from our border, which is a big creek. I drive as close as I could on our side and can hear a battle going on, so the boys waded the chest deep creek and get over there, while I drive the buggy 6.5 miles around to where they have this big Bo hog tied. He had died after they tied him while they were waiting on me to get there . He was just to high strung, the cur dog strain was more than he could bear! Hauled him out to weigh him any way, 298lbs.
Dogs rolled and caught another red 100lb track star that lost his man hood!
This week, it rained Thursday so I planned to hunt Friday. Know one else could go because of having jobs or school, so I was gonna go by myself. My daughter, Lindsey, the college golfer, just got home for the summer from Ada, Oklahoma this week so she and my wife went. Ruby is in heat and saving Boogie for later in the day, I turn out the B team, Goose, Briar, Jett, Harley and 2 pups. They roll out hunting go about .8 so I drive that way, dogs are all split up and I hear one of the pups bay, Briar, Goose and Jett get there and they run down a little 50-60 Bo, then while I'm taking his manhood the dogs split. Goose and Jett leave out of the lease and are 1.8 miles South, Briar and pups go north, got to them and they are bayed. Lindsey and I lead cd in and a good Barr hog is backed up in narrow creek, he trashs the pups so I send cd and he and Briar catch, I get him flipped and she helps me tie him.
We take him to the trailer track to Briar he's bayed again, go to him Harley is there and they making big loops around a bad youpon thicket, send cd and Briar doesn't help this time so cd is getting trashed I get him flipped and tied, it's another Barr!
Load him, head towards truck Briar, Harley and Jett are near the road and have a 40-50lb sow caught in a pool in the creek!
Go to camp weigh they Barrs and they both weigh 285!
Had to go find Goose, he was coming back, he had a 6-8in cut on his shoulder, so he and Jett had caught a goodun without me.
Those 4 hogs got us to 200 head of hogs, 15 of those were Barrs over 200, since January 1, 2013, and that's what we put our hands on and no telling how many more pigs they killed that we didn't go find!
Mike, now it's time to go fishing!
