The nearest hunting feat you've seen by a dog

[t-dog]

Reuben, I can definitely feel your pain. I went hunting by myself one morning. Right after I cast my dogs a norther blew in. It was blowing something fierce. I could tell that Roscoe was winding but because of the wind situation he was having trouble locating. He started making big loops about 150 yards or so. Then he started getting tighter and tighter. It wasn't long and he was bayed. When Vegas and I got in there, they had a boar bayed in a bunch of briars about 3ft high and probably  10ft in diameter. I never led  Vegas. He stayed with me until I sent him. When I told him to go, he made a circle all the way around the briars. There was no trail in so he took a step back and up and over he went. When his feet hit the ground  he had a mouth full of ear. I stepped over in there and stuck the hog then drug it out of the briars and posed him and Vegas for some pics. When I finished I was loving on  Vegas and felt a lump in his neck. Then I started finding them all over him. By the way he was acting you wouldn't have known anything was wrong with him. He was dead in just a few days. He went down extremely fast from the day I found it. He was MY dog and anyone that was around us for any period of time knew it. Losing him was one of the worst days of my life.

Not a hog dog story, I have deer hounds also. I turned loose at the house. I have a 2 acre pond about 800 yards from the house. I notice that 2 dogs sounded like they wr bayed at,the pond, the others we running. I,drove the was to the pond and there was a ole willow tree not dead but leaning. A spike had ran or climb up the. He was about 15 ft out,in the pond. My,son,said,shot him. No I,said I am going to,make him jump in the water. The dogs caught him on the bank.

I'll tell one more about Gus. I went hunting one morning in heat advisory weather. I decided on a place that had a big long lake in the middle  with woods around three quarters of it. That way I could hunt lots of ground and stay close to water. I turned Gus and a couple of young dogs loose and sat and waited on them. It wasn't long and Gus bayed down the lake a ways. I waited for the young dogs to get there and see if the hog would hold. It did, so I headed that way. When I got there they were bayed in the edge of the lake with thick saw grass all around. I sent the catch dog blind and he had no more than hit when I saw him get tossed over the top of the saw grass. The hog broke and made a loop in that thick stuff the hit the lake swimming and the dogs made a loop out in the woods trying to pick him up. I figured it was over because they didn't see him in the water and the young dogs came in around me still looking, then I saw Gus swimming, smelling lilly pads and grass, then lined out the same path the hog took. About that time a gator popped up and started toward my dog. He just cruised up beside him and his body raised up as he reached and grabbed Gus and rolled under with him. I felt sick to my stomach and I just knew he was gone. I turned away and sat down on a stump and the guy that was with me said he's up. I couldn't believe my eyes, he didn't check up or try to come back, he just kept swimming hard the way the hog went. The gator popped up and turned back to cruising the bank. I watched Gus 'till I lost sight of him in some trees and stumps near the other side about three hundred yards. About 5 or 10 minutes after I lost sight of him, I heard him bay, what a relieve. It took awhile to get around to him but we got there and caught the hog. He had some cuts on his neck and shoulder where the gator grabbed him but that was it. I thought that was pretty neat, survive a gator attack, trail a hog across open water and have the meat on the other side.

Thats bottom!!! Get taken under by a gator and still stay hooked on the track. Did you breed that dog to every bitch you had Bigo?

Good stories fellas.

Bigo... that had to be a sick feeling watching a gator grab your dog.
