Sabine Hunt

This year we got on a 7k acre lease out north of Bon Weir. My neighbors took it over after Harvey flooded it out. This has been a fishing lease and dog lease for 50 years that had hunters about 1 per 65 acres. We are now have it at 1 per 265 acres and are doing some major adjustments for the deer hunting. We have 5k acres of hills and pines with 2k acres of river bottom that with the recent rain had all the sloughs flooded. There are 4 of us on the lease with dogs so we kind of spread out and started casting some young dogs. I had my cousin nick with me who brought the rest of the dogs down. He is hard at it Hunting every weekend like I used to be, my new business has my work schedule pretty hectic and lots of work on the weekends home inspecting. Marshall who I always hunt with is on the lease. Colby Miller and Dalton Hightower as well, this was my first time to meet and hunt with Colby. I plan on lots of future hunting on this place as we have a big compound camp with water and electricity. We were leery of the rive. and in general tried to stayed away until we get the track hoe down in there and build out our road to the river and beach entrance for a boat.

We got down on the edge of the hills and cast out. Pretty quick they trailed in and jumped a whitetail or a coyote as they ran him about half mile then everything just kind of split and started hunting back. Colby was hunting with me and my cousin, he kicked some dogs out and it wasn’t long we had a boar hog bayed. Of course he left dry land just before the bulldog got there and we were wet after the first hog. I hate that number 2 lol. Dogs rolled off and run a good boar hog a long ways. They finally stopped him next to a flooded creek. He was a salty, red boar hog. We had to work on some dogs after that. Went to another feeder and cast in, bayed a big boar hog that broke before the bulldog. He then proceeded to run down the road we had just road in on for almost a mile. He ended up shaking the dogs except for one of Colby’s males, eventually dumping him on other hogs. Headed back to the truck to get some fresh dogs we dumped out on some sows and shoats and caught 3 real quick. We put up the the cut up dogs and got a load of gyps the second cast. We proceeded to catch 3 or 4 more throughout the day. Left a couple young dogs bayed on a peninsula for a few hours. All in all I put my hands on 8 hogs, 16 total with the other guys and a couple shot.
