I decided to start doing bay and shoot since you cant take them out alive in mo. anyway. nice idea what happens when a dog wont call off and its getting dark its so thick theres no shot? It snowed 8 inches while i was out in a two wheel drive. no light bayed at 1:30 pm left after 9:00 pm solo dog still bayed solid on a big boar he got mangled a couple times so who knows if hes cut. he in the edge of a lake soaked. lows in low 20's  i hope hes ok, he was bayed solid for eight hours straight. hes a dang good pup.Im betting he's still bayed in the morning. if he isn't he might not make it. I just moved here so i don't know anyone but got a buddy driving up to help me as soon as the roads cleared enough to get out.what a dog though eight hours straight! I'm not hunting there again it's locust thickets you cant push through. I did get a couple bullets in it out of four shots and then it bayed up in a field for five minutes I had a great shot just no more ammo. one things for sure if you want to guarantee hogs just go unprepared.

  Why didnt you just walk up and grab the dog? I am confused..... so the dog is cut, or might be. You are worried that it might be too cold tonight? Only brought four bullets?  Undecided
  I hope the dog is ok.

are you going to walk up to 300 lb boar and grab a dog right at his nose.I did get about 15 yards from him several times but the dog just looped out. I had four bullets with me.I shot them all normaly thats enough with a deer rifle. as much as i like the dog i'm not going to stay there and freeze to death for him i was soaked too and a mile or more from the truck. thanks.

 I didn't leave him cause i was sleepy i left because I had to.I was 40 mile from the house and im in man eating hills in a two wheel drive. i wouldn't have went if i had known it would snow.I have never had a dog killed hunting. I take plenty good care of my dogs. kicking em out at noon is usually a pretty safe bet. I'm pretty sure he's gonna be ok.

Jagd I was only saying we all have to make choices at some point. Regardless of the choice we choose it is ours to make. U did what u felt u needed to do when u chose to do so. It's easy to arm chair and it's easy to say I woulda whatever. When u are standing there by ur self u choose. I can't say its right or wrong u was there not me. I really hope it works out. U seem confident it will so undoubtably u feel u made the right choice.

Man you are just frustrated with the situation you are in, don't read to much into what the other guys are sayin, if the tables were turned im sure we'd all be pretty ticked off if for one reason or another we couldn't close the deal. It happens brother, thats why they call it huntin and not killin. Get warm and dry, come up with a game plan and take care of business! Good luck!

It stopped snowing. i made the trip back and got dog to back off. I think the hogs dead so Louis finally agreed to give it up we will see in the morning. He sure was tired. there are more in there,i'm pretty sure the rest didn't bust out of their hole when this hog broke out. I saw at least two more. I'm planning on some more dogs tomorrow.they are big hogs I've seen them before this.I think the two double teamers are barrs. someone cut a mess of them up there and turned em loose> i killed one out of this group last year that was a barr. I've been wondering for a while,two boars that size with sows i'm saying barrs. this time last year I got a group in the same spot. my jagd got his last hunt in there same deal as before same crappy mess  two hogs tryin to corner dogs and no interest in running. they were like a team. one bays up and the other sneaks around then they both rally on the dogs. I dont know how common this is. but they first bayed up right at the same tree as before last time there were sow nest under it. I think some new born piglets are in there. Icant see why they would stay like that after being shot at.I know some are sows it's a group in there because I saw tracks going in of several. on the way in I saw a single set of tracks in the snow the size of a baseball and just followed them. once they converged with a bigger group I kept seeing big patches of bloody looking stuff anyone know what that is? there was alot of it but the hog was feeding so im assuming it was getting ready to give birth or something.crazy day and not my best performance but tomorrow im gonna have help and it's gonna be brutal day to be a pig.dog bayed for around 12 hours he isn't even two yet. I'm proud of him for sure.I've never seen a dog bay like that.It's around eleven degrees right now thats why i decided i had to try and get back to him. awesome dog needs some handle though! goodnight or good morning I should say.

Not starting anything or saying you don't take care of your dogs etc..., but instead of going home and writing a sob story on the Internet I would have gathered up some help and went back and got him.  Actually I never would have  left with my dog in the first place cause I would have been better prepared (weather, ammunition,dog power).  And yes, I have been face to face with many boars in briars and have no problem getting face to face to save one of my dogs, anyone who has ever hunted with me will tell you that.  I think all that was trying to be said here is to protect what little image we have left as dog hunters. Posting up that you may have left a pup out injured to freeze does nothing positive for us hunters whatsoever.

I'm glad things worked out for you sounds like you have a hell of a dog in the making..

My ass!!!! Leave a dog in the woods because your cold?Huh? You don't need dogs fella!!! That's the biggest excuse I ever heard. Grow a pair grab a flashlight and learn how to shoot. Or put on a too too and stick to ballet!!!! You put the dog out there to find hogs for you. Then you leave him??? Because he is baying too tight and can't get a shot?!?!? Good lord

So ur a weatherman, u can predict exactly when and what type of weather is going to show up while ur hunting, n u pack an ammo can full bullets just incase. Come, u were not there, plus he said he just moved there n dont know a lot of people, so who is all this help he should have gotten, where would they come from? Shotgun is right, its all a i woulda done it this way blah-blah-blah. U were not in shoes at that time, if ur so concerned, then drive up there n give him a hand instead gettin on the internet writing a dob story about his sob story
