Title: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: matt_aggie04 on January 08, 2011, 12:54:57 pm We met up this morning about 7am to hunt a place we havent been to since Sept and luckily the weather and the hogs cooperated. We made our usual round and finally got a group bayed and stayed in hogs for about an hour and decided to quite while we were ahead. Great hunt today and it sure was nice riding right up in the bay and getting some pictures. Ended up with four hogs on the day, one killed, two tied and one that accidently got away :-[ and I mean a true accident, the hog ran under my horses nose and through the legs of Chris' horse haha.

Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: matt_aggie04 on January 08, 2011, 07:23:39 pm I haven't done it as much as I would like but since it is nice and dry around here an you don't have to worry about marring up to your arse everywhere. There is nothing like it though. Ride and talk and you can hear everything happening as it happens and we rode right up to the bay and then right up to the catch. Broke horses are highly recommended. ;D

Broke horses are highly recommended. ;D I know what you mean about the broke horses, I was riding what i considered a broke mare one day, riding along at a pretty good speed, and all of a sudden she started side steppin, brakin, just plain boogerin bad. Im tryin to figure out whats goin on stay in the saddle too. lol Come to find out there were a bunch of tame hogs in a fence, that i couldnt see, for some bushes, but she dang sure knew they were there. Most horses i have been around, booger bad at the sight or smell of a hog, let alone a bunch of dogs barkin, and pigs squilin. Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........

Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: de_moon on January 09, 2011, 10:42:48 am Nice hunt and neat pictures guys!!(& gal)
I like my horse named Honda, but I plan on doing some riding & hunting this year. Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: got2catchem on January 09, 2011, 11:03:14 am Ride and talk and you can hear everything happening as it happens and we rode right up to the bay and then right up to the catch. Broke horses are highly recommended. ;D Sounds like a heck of a way to spend some time in the woods... Congrats fellas and Mandy. Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: REHABHOGHUNTER on January 09, 2011, 11:06:28 am i love to hunt on horses good pics
Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: cward on January 09, 2011, 12:01:13 pm Good deal looks like ya;ll had fun!
Chris that hat is starting to shape up alittle! ;D Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: aladatrot on January 09, 2011, 12:58:24 pm I have a horse broke trash broke pit that I stole off some really nice okie. He was on this hunt, but I left him and my cur dog at the trailer in case we needed fresh dogs. When we bayed that group, I was kicking myself for leaving my collared up vested up ready to hunt catch dog at the truck.
Chris was able to lead goofy old tyson to one bay and then back to the truck on his horse. The grey horse I was on will let a dog ride his butt or be led off him. We have had up to a 70 lb dog riding the grey's rump. Of course, optimum for all involved is to have mike and his Honda available to haul the catch dogs and tied hogs. Cheers M Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: DubbleRDawgs on January 09, 2011, 01:05:00 pm great pics ,sounds like a really good time and some hogs on top of that what more could you ask for :)
Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: aladatrot on January 09, 2011, 01:24:55 pm On horses and hogs... our horses think hogs are just part of life. Even my big time English show horse will walk right up to a hog with no problem in daylight or dark. I have a pet mule footed hog that the horses live with. She is super vocal and squeals, barks, chases things, and generally desensitizes the horses to hog presence. All you fellas who have issues with your horses spooking at hogs may be training ahead if you invest in a pet hog.

Luckily, I think that will change after today. ;D Nice hunt.Waylon Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: tuskbuster on January 09, 2011, 01:43:43 pm i hear ya Mandy, i try to break em by ridin em up to around the hog pen but no matter how hard i try it seems out in tha woods they will bloww bout 10 ft sideways out from under me when they run a hog by em.which inturn leaves my my fat arse pullin up out of a crater that i just made. some of the time that is.
and i do like that big grey by the way. Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: raider54 on January 09, 2011, 01:52:37 pm Nice pics, big fun
Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: craig on January 09, 2011, 06:53:42 pm good hunt... you just cant beat hunting on horseback.
Chris, hat is looking good ;) Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: Cull Buck on January 10, 2011, 11:20:22 am Ride and talk and you can hear everything happening as it happens and we rode right up to the bay and then right up to the catch. I'm not much into horses but that would about make it all worth it. I've always thought riding right up to a caught hog would be awesome. It would be a very different experience. Good pics Title: Re: 1-8-11 Horseback Hunt........ Post by: djhogdogger on January 10, 2011, 11:51:54 am Loved the pictures. Looks like yall had a great time.
