A few days ago Adam and I went and hunted 4 or 5 spots that prior to this year usually held some hogs. We never did get a strike or even see any fresh hog sign. Pretty disappointing year for hog hunts here around home
A couple days ago Herbert's Plotts called ready to make another round and we went this morning. Had to really look for a hog down there too, first rattle out of the box had some "anti" training on two of mine and two of Joe's young dogs and eventually got a cold track started jumped and bayed. First decent boar I have been party too this year, best guess would be 220-240 lbs heavy teeth but not long teeth. He was bayed in some briars and moving around some and sure enough when I sent the catchdog he broke before contact, ran him another 150-200 and caught him, in a much better place for us haha, a little open spot. We lightened that hogs load a little and then he escaped, maybe we'll catch him back some other day and time.
