Title: North Texas Hunt 07/02/10 Post by: leifbarnes on July 03, 2010, 03:41:32 pm So its only 1:00am, you have only been hunting a couple hours, its humid and soaking wet, spider webs are EVERYWHERE and you have around 485lbs of pork dead and ready for processing, what to do? Keep hunting or get home and get the meat taken care of for some very thankful people? Well I decided to come home so dont believe any of the other BS you might here! ;D
Paul and Phillip again invited me out to hunt with their wives and a friend named Richard. We all met up and dropped the dogs out and it didnt take long for them (their dogs) to start getting busy. I took my pups out and I was gaining frustration quickly. The wind was perfect for the setup we were hunting. We roaded a couple of the dogs downwind through a corn field and we hear one open up bayed. The dogs soon joined and off we went. We cut the catchdogs loose at around 300yds. After a busted bay we ended up with one dead shoat. All the squeeling from the shoat screwed everything up. Im sure they had a good group bayed but was busted. The dogs rolled out and it didnt take long before we were on our way again to the 2nd bay. The wives were itching to get in some action so we took our time and made sure we had video camera, cameras etc. The dogs had caught a nice sow in a stock tank. Phillip got up to his neck in mud and wrestled it all by himself (is that better Phillip?). Laurie stuck the pig and we had a very healthy dead sow. We caught our breath and loaded up the pig and headed back towards the crops. We cut the 4 wheelers off and hear another bay. We get there and have 2 caught hogs. I split and went to the further one. Luckily it was a smaller one and dispatched it myself. The girls had went to the closer bay and Cheryl had stuck and nice fat sow. We cleaned them up and had a nice field biology class. We load everything up and head towards the trucks. We take some pictures and load the pigs into coolers. They decided to go hit another wheat field, end up catching 2 more boars. I decide to head to the house to tend to all this pork in the back of my truck. After a frustrating start (for me) it ended up being one of the most successful and memorable hunts I have been on. Laurie's pig with a picture of the sliced up heart (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/leifbarnes/DSC01827.jpg) Lauries pig again. Cheryl could not keep her hands to herself!

We took Eric's three young dogs, his airdale bayed the shoat all by herself while we were going to the bay. Phillip and I took his new gyp (Bit) and we also took ZIG, Salty, and Teddy. Max was the Anchor! We caught two more Boars out of that same wheat field. That brings a total of 21 hogs in 6 strait weekends in the same 100 acre wheat field. 80% of them were Boars! Our wives, Laurie and Cheryl legged and stuck thier first hogs last night and as you can see on thier faces they enjoyed themselves. Eric got sleepy and slipped off on us, we had 3 nice eating hogs loaded up on the trailorbut Eric STOLD THEM!!!......lol We had a great hunt with the girls and as always enjoyed having Eric out to hunt with us. will post more pics later Title: Re: North Texas Hunt 07/02/10 Post by: daisydog on July 03, 2010, 04:49:17 pm eric got sceered , none of us know exactly what happened but the small pig he dispatched by himself must have impacted him hard because he came back shaking stammering and ready to head for the house. im not judging him or anything that was the meanest 75# sow i ever did see ,and from the amount of stb wounds all over its body it must have put up one heck of a fight. next time i wont leave you alone eric and i hope these words are comforting
