Title: Two Good Boars Post by: Shotgun66 on February 20, 2024, 06:09:23 am Loaded Rousty, Yancy, & Lynda up for a run Saturday morning. 20+ mph winds had my expectations in check. Hunted for a couple hours with no luck. Dogs were hunting at a nice lope making 200 to 300 yard loops. Not many tracks or much sign at all. I figured the hogs would be down in the draws out of the wind so we kept pushing. Dogs got piggy on a fence crossing. Me & Lynda sat & waited while they trailed into the draw. About 10 minutes & 600 yards later, they bayed solid. Lynda & I eased in to the bay and they had a good 200 - 220 range boar bayed in a wash/cave at the bottom of a 40’ cliff. Got some good video & watched the boar charge the bay dogs from the cave for a couple minutes. Sent Lynda & git him caught & stuck. This is one of the coolest, pretty spots I’ve bayed a hog so I took the time to sit & appreciate it and take some pics.
After enjoying the first bay, I sent the bay dogs again and they got bayed solid again about 300 yards west across another deep draw. I didn’t expect another mature boar. Figured it would be a hot sow. Walked Lynda in to about 20 yards, grabbed some video & sent her. The boar smacked her and both bay dogs off and broke about 40 yards and backed into a wash and made his last stand. Roughly same size hog but a little ranker than the first. We got touched up enough for me to call it a hunt. Pics don’t do these hogs justice. I’m a terrible photographer. I need to figure out how to upload video. Hope you guys enjoy!
