EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Here's a preview of the 2011 buckles for the Randy Bumpurs tournament.  They are made by BOB BERG.  There are five different sets of four buckles to be given away.  Making it a total of 20 buckles!  

Hope to see everyone at this tournament, I think it will be a good one!

Just curious on how many teams entered last year, have any preeegistered.

Where is this hunt and where are weigh in !

Last time I talked to Cole, I think he had said that 9 teams were pre-entered.

Here's the Map. 

Also,  There is going to be a LIVE BAND Friday night to kick the tournament off.  I didn't know Randy Bumpurs personally (and maybe someone who did can chime in) but from what I understand, Randy was a hair barbor in Buffalo and was very well known and liked.  Randy was also a hog dogger.  This memorial tournament is in rememberance of a hog dogger who was a well known person in Buffalo.  I was not able to hunt in last year's tournament (because I was hunting the Los Cazadores-Murranos Muertos tournament the same weekend), but Cole mentioned that there was alot of town support of the tournament.

The buckles look good! 

And the pack will be ready.... ;D

Josh,,,dem r sum good lokin buckles!!!!
Wish I had a team, all I have is a lot of land and some pot lickers!!!
But if you know of someone that needs another hand and some good dogs, let me know, I ll be ready!!!

Who wins the last set of buckles?  The rule sheet only outlines 12 so I assume the 2nd place big stringer of 10 hogs and the 1st place biggest hog wins buckles as well?  Basically everything with a money pay out will win a buckle as well?

That's my understanding Matt.  At first it was 12 buckles but then Cole added 8 buckles to the other spots that are listed.

     Cant wait to put some dogs on the ground Josh!!!

Us Louisiana boys will be there again this year. I had a great time last year and I will again this year. There were a good bit of folks last year and being how they are doing the band on friday we won't be so tired that we can't visit with the other teams. Anyone who can make it ought too. I can assure you it will be a great time and that Buffalo bunch are some good people and even better cooks!

Concerning the pre-registration deadline that is listed on the flyer.  There is NO deadline for pre-registration.  Give Cole a call and he will get everyone set up.  Also, contact Cole to recieve the entry form from him.  Whether by email or fax, it doesn't matter.  Give him a call and he'll get you fixed up.  And if he doesn't answer right away, leave a message and he will get back in touch with you.

Joey,

    I might have to ease up that way on Sunday just so I can pat ol Catch on the head.

anyone lookin for a team members.. i got dogs...but no one to hunt with... im in dallas but will drive where ever i need to hunt...

Good luck Joe Young....make us  LA boys proud!!!!!!

JHY

What is the "team name" for the Louisiana gang?

Bud

This is gonna be good.  ;D

Looks like a sure nice event! like the buckles alot!

LAZY CAJUNS or COONASS DELIGHT! let me think about it. Don't be afraid to throw out some ideas.  I sure hope enough texans show up to make it worth our while!;)

Chris,

I hope y'all are hunting the tournament? We had a blast last year and there were some Great guys with some good dogs there last year. The food was damn good too!  Catch has been retired at the request of my wife. Infact, the only thing she put in the prenump was she gets him if she ever has to run me off.

Joey

Joey Holmes!!! I haven't seen you since our Baton Rouge years. What you doing on these boards? You got some dogs? Definitely a small WORLD!

Joey,

   I won't be hunting the tournament. I've got a Texas Parks and Wildlife event in Conroe to attend for LSWDA, then I am heading to Fairfield to pick up a load of alfalfa.

That's too bad! Anyone who lives within 3 hours or so should support this hunt and participate. It is the best one I have ever hunted and we need to support these type of things so that they will continue every year and they will grow into something that has vendors and major sponsors. It amazes me how far people will drive to go to Uncle Earls to watch pen dogs and shop for supposed "hog dogs" when this is right in the center of East Texas, which has the best hog dogs in the world in my opinion, so you would think that a lot of these hog doggers would participate and also see what kind of dogs are available in the area. If I was looking to buy a dog, I would certainly start there because you get to see what they are capable of somewhat. Me personally, I really enjoy the people and talking dogs, not to mention I get a good look at future potential breeding stock.  This tournament is geared towards the ability of the dogs and their owners and Cole goes the extra mile to insure that it is a first class operation and run fair and sqaure! Heck, I have never laid eyes on the place I am hunting and I don't care if I don't catch a thing because it is that good of a time!  I hope you can make it to weigh in to visit. Also, if you are into top of the line roping horses Cole has some beautiful blue roan Hancock horses that are anywhere from green to points toward their world championship.

Joey

I would go with Lazy Cajuns!  Give me a call later on and I hope you win this tourney!

JHY

Lazy Cajuns is Ok.  I like that.  SWINE FELLAS is another.  SQUEAL DEAL.   We got sometime to think about it.  Lets hear what the rest of the team and helpers think.  Adam and I will swing by Uncle Earls (now that you have bashed it >:D) and maybe grab a bite to eat and some trinkets for the dogs.  Should be up at Buffalo between noon and 3 Pm to help out any way I can.  And get in a little bovine therapy!   rolleyes

Bud & Adam

oh dont worry jhy there will b plenty of texans im just not so sure them LA swamp dogs can hang with these high rollin curs up here! haha best of luck to you and ur team, get ready to eat some mud bugs

Me and my crew will be there gonna bring some of these big ole fat thicket hogs up there.

Are there going to be any side pots or anything else to enter???

I have learned my lesson about talking good about my dogs, because as we all know they will make a liar out of you "QUICKLY",  but I think the dogs will do just fine, its my fat self that I am worried about!  Between the heat and all the darn barbwire you boys have in that country it will wear us flat land plantation hunters slap out!  I am not going to even bring up those Joupon thickets!LOL  I will say though I got some of Coles stock, and they are holding up fairly good to all the water and pine/briar thickets we hunt in over here so I am hoping that they will shine in their native terrain. haha  I sure hope that a lot of folks turn out and compete or just come down and eat some bugs , bbq and listen to some music.  I look forward to seeing some old faces and meeting some new.  I will probaly have my Kubota hat on or an oversized bulldog in the back of my white F150, so please shake my hand and visit a minute or 30, but dont touch the dog, he is trained to bite!


Look forward to visiting with you boys and I am looking forward to seeing some good hogs.

   Joey

Its always good to win, but these things are as fun as hog dogging gets!  Will call you this afternoon my friend.We will come up with something:)

JHY

Don't be chewin my butt about my dogs being fat when I get there, after you spent all last summer getting them into hunting shape.  I keep em fat so I can keep up.  After all,  if we are  to be the Lazy Cajuns, we have to have fat and lazy dogs too!    rolleyes   This is going to be fun and we aRE GOING TO SEE SOME REAL TEXANS roll on !   Maybe I will get me a cowboy hat or some souvenier while there.  I will be the Cajun tourist in Buffalo, TX!!!

During the Hurricane Katrina search and rescues in flooded New Orleans while all the other SAR teams stood down and were wringing their hands and wondering what to do about all the shooters and stuff, I preped my teams and we went in with guns  and got the people out.  We went into the hoods that ran the other teams out.   I ran into the Texans and they were the only ones that did the same thing that first week.  Those Texans were in their airboats with AR-15 "machine guns" in the bow and got nothing but respect from the locals.  They were assigned the lower 9th Ward, so the Texans kinda got set up, but they sure kicked butt in the disaster.  NOLA and LA will always remember the favor.  Texans sure got some bottom and grit.

Bud  

I try to watch my guns and horses around Texans!:)  Maybe we can trade them some authentic white shrimpin boots for a 10 Gallon Hat.haha  I will give you a shout this afternoon.  I hope you get to feeling better!;)

Joey

I am looking for one more team member to join us pm me if your interested.
