EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Friday I met up with Longshot and made a hunt with him in Leakey. We were right on the edge of a big storm and hoping to catch a few before it got nasty. We hunted on the headwaters of the Frio River, saw some awesome country and caught two hogs before the weather hit us and called it a day.

This may not apply to us:

My female jagd, Sis, went her own way and Buster and James's young gyp, Sage, headed up a big draw. Shortly Sis opens bayed on a good red hog. On the way to her we notice the other two dogs are showing bayed on the garmin about 1/2 mile over the hill.

Saturday morning Savoy met at my house for a hunt down the road. One of his buddies who leases the ranch had some friends down that wanted to hunt with dogs. It was most of the guys first dog hunt. We had a good hunt catching 4 hogs. The first two hogs Savoy's dog Sally bayed. We headed to the other end of the pasture. On the way Black Bart winded and bailed from the ranger. He ran few hundred yards and bayed. Sent the catch dogs to him and he rolled out on a hog that went about 2 miles baying and breaking several times before we ended with a hog.

Looks like a couple good hunts guys.  Congrats!

Nice job fellas, that is some nice country there.

Great job guys I think that is the prettiest part of Texas.  My son learned to swim in the Frio several years ago around Concan. Sure brings back memories, thanks guys.

 For some reason only the videos will show up for me..........
   Had  a good time saturday for sure. Always a good time hunting with everything that is Rex Bumpus.

Cool hunts...The head of the Frio River.  Not too many people in this world have seen that!

No music on the videos?

Yeah...it was amazing the amount of water that was coming from that hole on the side of that hill....and the river began.

My filming is not that good so i didnt think it deserved music.  ;D

Looks like Z did good.... Nice hunt....

Great pictures!

I have been deer hunting in Leakey for going on 4 years now and every time we get a hog on a game camera, its a big boar with long nasty tusk. I would love to run my dogs out there but it sure looks like tough hunting.

We always see dead hogs on the highway in the same general area coming in to Concan also. Must be a lot of hogs in that area.

Incredible looking country!

Very nice pics.  Thank you for sharing.

Excellent post.

   Real nice looking country .  Got one ?  why are the rocks stacked up on each other in the river .

   Don't see that in Ga

That's some nice looking country.

Longshot-  Who's the dog in the seventh pic?  Is that your Zeus X Pickle pup?  If so, how's it progressing?

The road crosses the creek and the rocks are marking where to drive....or not to drive.  ;D

That is Zerox....but think the young dog is doing good.

Oh yea...I forgot about Zerox.  He's sure a good looking dog.

Good hunt fellas... that sure is some purdy country. ;D

Rex, thanks for posting pics, those are some neat ones. I really like the one with James rolling around on ther ground with Sage >:D and Z looks good!

Bryant, James pup -Doodle is doing nice

sounds like a great hunt sorry i missed it.
this is really one of the prettiest places i have hade the pleasure of hunting you just have to be really careful its easy to get in trouble with all those bluffs but then again most hill country hunts end up on a cliff or in the river
great pics but still does not do the place justice 

great pics mate, im really starting to warm to those jagds.

what is the danger sign all about?  and what is a gyp?
please excuse my ignorance. im slowly learning the different terms you guys use.

cheers

Jarrad.... I might be unique in that i only run Jagds but they have no problem getting the job done for me.                                                               

In this particular part of texas almost all if not all of the ranches are high game proof fences....however the hogs are free range and move through these fences just as a low fence. This particular ranch has a section that is leased for deer hunters only and other parts of the ranch that does not have paying lease hunters. The ranch also has areas for city people or vistors to hike and see the scenery. The section of the ranch where they only allow certain people is fenced from the remaining acreage. The sign is just to desinate the areas certain people are not allowed to access. In all that rambling i could have just said that it is a cross fence that seperates the deer pasture from the rest of the ranch.    ;D

A gyp is a young female dog. Take care!

 That looks like a fun hunt.

 Great pics.

 You 2 guys do it right....
