EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I met a couple of new buddies and they have been wantin to go they have a pit and kinda wanted to see what its all about and maybe get some dogs for thereselves. So we went out saturday morning early and went down the ranch we hunt on to a salt cedar patch where we got a big boar 2 wks ago and ten min in there we had a bay.  My new buddy Jace cut his pit loose and she went right to em and it broke and came closer to us and they had him caught.  He had a real high squeel so i thought it was little.  We were scramblin through the salt cedars and finally got to em and they had a 275 to 300 lb boar so ran in and legged him and they helped me get him flipped and the dogs off.  There was six of us Me Cody and Logan but 3 of them, Matt J, Matt S, and Jace with his pit had never been on a hog in the woods they were pumped. We decided to stick him and drug him out to get pics

So we moved over to another set of salt cedars and cut the dogs loose and switched catchdogs...20 to 30 min of walkin through our strike dog Red bayed and the rest of them went to him. We got pretty close and I cut Cinnamon loose and ran to the bay.
They had this 300 lb sow caught (we weighed her on the gin scales) walked her out live and threw her in the trailer.

Went to another set of cedars and didnt come up with anything.  The newbies were just chompin at the bit to get on another one and i saved my honey hole to hit up last so we drove over there walked the dogs in and 10 min later they had a lil shoat. Stuck him and while we are sitting there talkin about it the dogs rolled out and were bayed again. So we took off runnin to em and cut both catch dogs loose about 100 yds away and they had this lil blonde boar caught.

We started to keep him alive and drag him out but as we were hobbling him the dogs were bayed again.  So we stuck him and took off runnin this time they were 500 yds away and while we were on our way there they broke and went 200 yds farther right to a creek by the road where Cody was waitin in the mule. We got there and me and Matt S hopped in the creek and stuck this sow and pulled the dogs and called it a day.
