EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Last hog of the year came on the 31st after hunting hard in the rain for 6hrs. Me, Jake, Phillip, Scott and his girlfriend. We hunted a place on the sulfer river where Phillip and Scott had killed 9 the week before, by the time we made it back out there there was alot of water in the woods and fields. On the way back to the truck I saw a patch of high ground in the distance and determined to catch a hog I took Daisy over there with me. It didnt take Daisy long
to get bayed down the hill in front of us about 75 yds. I had let my Max and Stroke pups loose as I was walking torward the high ground (Mistake). When Daisy started baying the two pups bolted toward her, the bay broke, we heard Daisy coming right at us WIDE OPEN! Phillip let Chewy go (his CD). We look up about twenty yards in front of us, we see this 180 pound Boar run into Chewy nose to nose! KNOCKED CHEWY COLD SLICK OUT!!!!! that hog never even slowed down. Chewy woke up about 45 seconds later and joind the chase. Dogs bayed the hog in a deep creek about 200 yards into the woods, my two pups got hung up on a fence, but chewy didnt! 8), he got in there and caught that hog and boy was he mad! Phillip stuck the hog rather quickly< Chewy had a good cut on his leg and his right eye was swollen shut. Pups finally made it and Jake got some good video! So ends our last hunt of the year and closed us out at 275 total for the year. We had a good year hunting with many of you fellas out there. We look forward to meeting new friends and catching lots of hogs in the comming year!

Sunday we had a 16 hour hunt. 10 hrs and two places later we finally struck a nice Boar hog, my Max and Stroke dogs ran him down after he broke, they shut him down in the open on top of a tank bank. Clay had been about 1000 yards away baying for about an hour by the time we got to him, all the other dogs got to him to help. Jake ran ahead of us to get some video of the dogs baying. It turned out they had about 30 in a group, sent in the CD's and caught two there, the dogs rolled out and ended up 3.3 miles from the truck strait line. The hog bayed and broke several times before making a B-Line strait for the truck. We began to pick up dogs along our route back all of which were cut up, some bad. Clay was the last dog in the race, we found him setting in the middle of a cow pasture very bloody and beaten, this doesnt happen to Clay as he is usually no closer than 15 feet most of the time. After a long hard day we ended up with three, 1 good Boar and two good sows. we will have another video out soon. I dont know why my pictures wont resize on Photobucket but I will post a few anyway.

man I remember way back when Chewy was my buddies house dog. I would have never imagined he would make as good of a catch dog as he has. That pit is hog crazy!

Chewy, is a nice little CD

Good hogs and helluva year. Y'all are die hard... after a few hours or catching a hog, i'm ready to go to the house. ;D

Good hogs and good hunt...


I always open my pics with paint, click on "image" at the top, and the go to stretch/skew and resize, then post of photobucket. There's probably an easier way, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out. ;D

Good hogs Paul.. looking forward to the video!

we try real hard not to go home without at least 1 . sometimes we do but for the most part we have very few dry runs. had a lot of fun again and for those of you who dont know "i do all the work" and paul gets all the glory,but it works for us

HAHA poor old phillip with a bad knee, hobbling around in the cold as pauls personl cd...he says you lead well just need a bark collar now and then  ;D
The last time we went huning we caught # 200...you since got 75 I probably only got 30 in that time...work.. work... Good job gents

Mike I found out Sunday "I USED TO BE TOUGH" I wont be doing that again. When you are to spent to lead your dogs out of the woods you stayed to long!

Phillip told me Clay wont even come out of his box but to eat. He told me this morning that the swelling in his jaw and face went down. I think they will all be fine thanks for your concern

I remember that night. WOW we need to get together again soon, and you dont work any more than I do, its that half day on Saturday thing thats got you jacked up!

Clay was ready to roll Sunday, We caught 3 more. Clay bayed a Big Group of hogs in a thicket so thick our CD's couldnt get to the hogs to catch, all the hogs blue out and took all the dogs with them. Three hogs snuck out the back about 10 feet from us and all three were BIG BOARS with TEETH :o. One of Scotts CD's (Baby) got beat up pretty bad but she should be ok in a couple of weeks

YEA THEM THICKETS AINT NO GOOD, WE HUNTED A PLACE ONE TIME THE DOGS COULD WIND THE HOGS BUT COULDNT EVEN GET IN THERE TO THEM AT ALL. GLAD CLAY IS BETTER THATS GREAT TO HEAR, HOPE BABY HEALS UP QUICKLY TOO... I SURE AM HAVIN SOME WITHDRAWLS I AINT BEEN SINCE THE DAY AFTER XMAS AND IT WAS A REAL QUICK DRY RUN...
