EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I figured I would share this with ethd. I am raising some pups out of my Levi dog bred to a line bred gyp out of a good line of dogs from Buffalo. They are getting about old enough to start working with them a little more, so I decided I would take them to the lake and let them get some exposure to the woods and overall just see how they would act.

The lake is low, so I drove my rhino all the way to the back and low and behold if I didn't get stuck.... Not bad, but it wasn't budging..

So I drop the pups off and its straight to woods and they're gone... Second mistake..

I go ahead and call a buddy to pull me out and wait for the pups to HOPEFULLY show back up.

The pups show back up after 10 mins or so and my buddy wasnt far behind...

As soon as my buddy shows up the pups go on a rampage and make a b-line to the water and are bayed up solid.... On a stump

After baying for a couple of minutes they did something that I didnt want to see and caught out.  ;D

To make matters worse, they bayed another stump on the way out.

And started to b-line towards another until I called em off.

I not real sure about the young dogs....

Pups look good Richard, they will work. What the heck is all that green stuff on the ground??

Well at least you know they will bay ;D   Good story

Good story!

They're TERMITE HOUNDS! i bet they transfer over to hogs quite well!

well in the instance that you decide you don't want any of them stump baying pups you can always send them down this way, I will take them off your hands!

Reminds me of my old GSP . He pointed the same prickly pear leaf in road every day we hunted.it was funny he was very adamant about it. We spent a lot of time watching him creep up oh so carful not to flush it.

One of my young ones, Spinner, bayed a 6' tall blown down cave by herself for 30 minutes when she was 6mnths... had to go leash her up to get her off.. she was convinced she'd bayed the biggest hog she'd ever seen!!  ;D

As long as they're bayin' somethin' I like it!!!

X2!

X3 my 10month olf FL cur bayed the heck out of a lizard in the yard the other day.. My Ole lady didnt see the same humor in it i did..  :D :D

Catchem....did it squeal when they caught it? Gritty pups I say....to tackle a full grown stump like that. I say that's better than running from it like it was a big booger of some kind.

Great post richard.  Puppies and their mysterious ways always crack me up.

The new rig is sweet by the way!

I have a 7 month old walker hound that bays my bulldog all day at the end of his chain! She is gonna whip his butt one day! LOL Also had a young dog bay up a old tire in a creek one day.

At least ya didn't get on a runner.   ;D

at least your dogs will bay something. I am having hell gatting mine to hunt anything.

Yeah I guess its a start. Not sure if its a good one.... j/k lol ;D

Thanks for the comments....


Thanks.... This is the first time I've ever had any sort of mud tire and it didn't do a darn bit of good.....lol

Let's see... The pups rolled out and they bayed a stump and then they went to bay tight or to catch it... and did it in the water...I will have to say the pups are on track to being hog dogs... :)
