Title: Tdogs solo hunt
Post by: WayOutWest on March 18, 2026, 02:21:41 pm
Ol T couldn't find any friends today so he took his 3 bay dogs and the ol standby catchdog. Got on a sounder that broke and his gyps stopped one sow and his Outlaw dog stopped a real big sow. The dogs rolled and caught another shoat and he caught the dogs up and went home to take a nap.

Sounds like a good hunt. That Nap time is starting to feel pretty good after a hunt.

Apparently he is getting a pretty good long nap.

This was the first little sow about 120#. Ava and Dilly went to Outlaw about 125 yards away for the second one.

This second one was a toad. She weighed 280-300 if she was a pound. She was real tall and real wide and real full of pigs. I had trouble getting to back legs to leg her. We were all crawling around in that thick stuff and she kept turning and facing me. I finally just stuck my arm out there and let her chew on it while I drug her and the catch dog out. Once she was out in the open and the other dogs could help she let me go so I could get her thrown. Of course I’m just assuming that’s why she let go. I mean it could’ve been that all that sweetness in her mouth was fixing to induce a diabetic type coma.  The dogs relayed and caught a shoat about 250 yards further. I dispatched it and loaded the dogs. Start to finish might have taken 20 minutes.

I love the post tdog, I needed a good laugh after this week. That’s a big sow for sure, thats  what I’ve been getting into lately.

Due to my inability to make friends I find myself hunting alone most of the time, I get nervous sometimes but I’m kind of used to it now.

Hollowpoint, I use to hunt solo a good bit. I really enjoyed it and it for sure allowed me the opportunity to pay more attention to my dogs. I haven’t done it in a while because of my health issues, they have definitely caught up to me in the woods more than once. Fortunately I was with friends that understood what was happening and what to do. Lol it’s kinda like Murphy’s Law, if it can happen it will happen.

You give me a days heads up I’ll come back you up any day Tdog. Whether I bring dogs or not, you’ve been a friend to me. I can make things happen most time with a little heads up.

I’ll remember that Slim. I appreciate it. We’ve had a good time when we’ve hunted together. You and Ole Tim are hands for sure.

You want to catch big giant hogs with big teeth.

Go by yourself with a few young dogs. It never fails! :)

You ain’t wrong. It seems like it happens that way more times than not.
