EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Finally a bayin close to home! I am gonna try to make this one.

what vendors will be at the baying?

How far is that from Coolidge TX?

Oh and do you not mess with puppy bay

blake u could`nt ask for a better group of people to meet!!! i will be there even if i dnt bay trip and harley. >:D

The bay pen is about 2 1/2 hours away from Coolidge. Sorry but no puppy bay. I hope that does not keep you from coming out a having fun.

Chris I doubt I will enter any dogs either! I really dont have any pen dogs, mine would probably just catch out anyway. LOL But I would like to go meet some good people and watch some rank hogs get worked.

Were prolly gonna come out, Daniel or I will prolly run one dog cost me over 200$ to run them all. But I'd like to see everyone and see the competition.

Thank ya ima try and make it. Ill just enter the dog I got he ain't but 7 months tho. My other dog would catch out.

they are for sure some rank hogs there some of the rankest i have ever seen!!!

I'll be there, with my bells and whistle.  Hope to see everyone there. 

Those the kinda hogs I like for a dog to get on. The hogs are rank in the woods so why change it in the pen

autry and kelley are top notch ppl in my book. i have learned and hope to learn alot more from them, i have`nt been around there as much as i should here lately, but im gonna change that. blake if u wanna meet up in point i`ll show u how to get there.

First off, a big thank you to Manda for posting this for me!! 

correction on the gps address - its 1582 CR 1183 Sulphur Springs,
the mailing address is 1582 CR 1183 Brashear TX, 75420

Lorretta is out of Weems' Curly and Weems' Dewey.  Jake is the big yellow dog that I've won so much with.  Its 3 light brindle striped male pups.  They are all fireballs, just don't need 5 males from the same litter.

Yes there will be a tack trailer, talked to Robbie Rogers and he said he'd be here.

Thanks Chris, I just want everyone to love these dogs and this sport, whether it be in the woods or in the baypen.

For those of ya'll that are interested, if you send me a pm with your address I will mail you the set of rules that you will be judged on.  These rules are not open for negotiation, when you sign up you are agreeing to them.  They are as fair and even as possible, several baypen competitors worked very hard to make sure of this. 

The hogs will be as even as possible in each round.  Everything in our power will be done to assure you that you have a fair shot at winning, we really want this to be about the best DOG, not luck..

Dangerzone, I can understand about not being able to run all your dogs, if you come you'll see Autry and I run in to that problem alot too...lol

Hope to see everyone here...thanks for the interest, if this goes well we can probably talk Hotstuff into having more!!! ;D ;D ;D

i have two pups and and an old dog is it ok to run the old dog with both the pups or can she only run once

I'm hoping to come, I don't know if I'll run any dogs, I've never even been to a baying let alone run my dogs. They might catch out or they might try to climb out of the pen. lol

PM sent

If I'm in town that weekend let's put Soka and Vader in together and see what happens. 

Levi, after watching all them dogs bayin, we may have to make a hunt afterwards!!  ;)

I may have to throw ol Festus in the bayin.... hopefully they will have some good size hogs, hes bad about catching anything in a pen, but only smaller ones in the woods...  rolleyes

bmc2010 - you can only run your dog one time in the 1 dog, in the 2 dog you may run your dogs as many times as you want as long as it is with a different dog each time.  If you run more that once in the 2 dog you must declare which run is for highpoint before the event starts, if you don't it will automatically be the first run.  Hope this helps..

Levi - hope to see you here, would like to talk to you about the youth thing Dusty was telling me you were thinking about..

t.wilbanks - I bay my dogs on them, the hogs here are treated alot like the dogs, they have to be good are they can't eat here..there is a culling process practiced on them also. 

Big Chris, are the hogs good sized??

lmao!!!! fellas the hogs in these pens are what we woods guys dream of catching everytime we turn out! for u fellas that have fear ur dogs will catch out im seeing in ur future some dogs that may learn a lesson or two. autry and kelley take as much pride in there hogs as they do there dogs. look at it this way, there in it to be the best, so why would they wanna settle for anything other then the rankest hogs available? there trien to raise and run the best dogs possible, for that to happen they have to face off against the best hogs possible!!! i may be stepping out there wrong, but i lost one of my best woods dog in that pen to a good hog, this hog had dubbed teeth but knew what he was doen, just keep in mind that this pen of hogs is as rank as any hogs in the woods, but with more knowledge of a dog. so to answer your question YES THESE HOGS HAVE SIZE TO THEM!!! maybe u should post a cpl of pics for these guys to see.

If i remember correctly, i thought my dog was gonna catch the small hog that i drew at the last baying, and boy was i wrong. Those Little Arkansas hogs are BAD to the Bone! Kelley and Autry have a good set of hogs, and put on one of the best bayings around.

Big Chris, yes we take great pride in our hogs, without them you can't have those truly great pen dogs..jmo..  These hogs are athletes and are treated as such, they are wormed, doctored and are feed a diet to make sure that they reach their full potential.  The teeth are dubbed and rounded, but they can still hurt a dog just from power alone.  I recommend vests not because I'm worried about your dogs getting cut (though there is always that chance) but because it helps cushion some of the blows.

Spencer, I think I told you that you did not have to worry about catching out if you drew the small hog, didn't I?  If you're a hog here and you get into the line-up at under 200 lbs. you are definitely able to hold your own.

If any of ya'll are friends with me on facebook I have pics of some of the hogs in my albums.

I'm glad to hear the hogs are top notch. My old and young dogs had a perfect bay goin at central Tex pen last month then caught and DQ'ed in the last 15 sec. And it was a pretty rough 200+ lb'er

First off, I want to say thanks for all the interest. 

But I want to be clear on some things so there aren't any misunderstandings.

1. There is not a hog alive that can't be caught!!!
2. There is not a hog alive that a perfect can't be bayed on.
3. There is not a dog alive that can't make a mistake.

Both my husband and I firmly believe this. We aren't promising anyone that you won't catch out.  What we are promising is that if you run here you will...

1. be baying as even a set of hogs as possible. This means that they will match in each round. Our judge or Autry have the power to pull any hog that isn't matching out of the rotation. They will also pull any hog that becomes injured out of the line up.
2. They will be well maintained and healthy hogs.
3. Their teeth will be dubbed.  My husband does each hog personally and checks to make sure that nothing gets broke or chipped while going through the shutes.  In saying this, please understand that I'm not promising that nothing will get cut just letting ya'll know that in the 4 bays that he's been in charge of hogs for there has not been a dog cut.
4. You are not going to be asked to put your dogs on a hog that has not been bayed before.  Every hog that goes into the line up here has been bayed by our dogs.  Just a side note... every hog in the past that has been used in a bay here has had a perfect bayed on it by atleast 2 different dogs that live here.
5. The rules that are posted when you sign up are what you are judged on!! Not what your dog has done in the past or who you are, but the bay that your dog does that day in front of our judge. If you would like a set of rules send me a pm with your address and I will mail you a copy.  The more info you have on what you're being docked for the better your chances of winning are.
6. We really do want everyone to leave thinking that the best dog that day won and that they had a great time.

Hope this helps...Kelley

Vette was a firm believer in rule #1...

It's all good, we go to have fun, just hope my dogs don't crap in the pen...

Ben, I LOVED that dog.  She caught a hog with her little 45 lb. self that some of my 90 lb. plus dogs couldn't catch?? :o :o :o

Dangerzone, walk walk and walk them some more before they go into the pen, can also try not feeding them the day of the bay until after the bay is over.  This is actually a good practice anyway so they don't have anything rough in their digestive tract...jmo

Thanks mean woman. You know I will do what ever you need me to do for the bay. I just want to say the hogs hot stuff and mean woman have are some of the best hogs in the bay pen world. Hot stuff does a dam good job on the teeth and matching the hogs up. I have trained some of my dogs well most of my dogs on some of the hogs there when big Chris said they are a good size hogs he is telling the truth. I hope to see a lot of old bay pen friends and maybe meet some new ones.

Better be careful ctckoepp, you never no what I'll have you doing!!! :angel:  Got one that's gonna go about 280 in the trailer right now..he's wanting to climb.  As soon as Hotstuff gets home we're gonna have to move hogs around so he can go in the tall pen.  Manda, call me tomorrow...

Lane and chase are coming to help out. Chase he will do what ever but the dogs. Lol the 25 th is not coming fast enough. Can t wait to see everyone

Mean woman if yall need any help let me knw be more then happy to give a hand.

Ya'll better be careful, I'll end up taking you up on your offers!!! >:D

thanks we had a great time good hogs, good dogs, and good visits

Thanks Garrett, it was really good to see everyone!  I had a good time talking to everyone too!  Thought the dogs did a great job of handling these hogs.  Thought the hogs did real well too.. Autry will let them rest up for a couple of weeks and then we'll start going through them to make sure that nothing broke down..and just on a side note...for everyone that was  here, THANK YOU so much for not trashing the place, for ya'll it was just a baypen but for me this is my home and you don't know how much I appreciate everyone using the trash cans.  Lane and I had everything picked up and back to normal in less than 30 mins. on Sun.  Since I was really tired I greatly appreciate ya'll showing so much respect!!!

The Koepp family had a blast and enjoyed see old friends and making new friends.

I thought I had posted this here to but just realized that I had only posted it on facebook.

The total payout on entries was $1700.  The total payout on calcuttas was a little over $2100. 
That brought the total payout to just a hair over $3800.  That was for 2 events.  There was 1 catchout and all the hogs are good.  We appreciate everyone that came out and hope that everyone had a good time.  Thanks - Kelley

i saw on the CHDA site yall where having another event on the 23rd of august or september is that still on?

X2

I haven't talked to Tori lately but we had told her that we would host the chda TX trials this year if she wanted us to.  The dogs that run in that must be nalc registered, they must wear a vest, and the are DQ'd if they don't have a call out.  I would like to have another open bay this fall, if ya'll would come let me know so I can talk Hotstuff into it ;D  :o

I'd come to watch. Don't have anything registered

Autry and Kelly, we just wanted to let you know that our family had a fabulous time with you guys last night. You guys are so full of good information. We are looking so foward to doing it again. The two midgets are settling in well, and have thier new names in place. The blue Hobo, and the isabella is Hootie. The girls are in love with them, and are already talking about making them bay dogs!!!!! Might just be our new two dog team!!!!! wouldnt that be a sight?!?!?! Thanks again for having us out.   Mark and Heather (team MaHe)

Mark and Heather, thank you for coming..we had a great time too!  Come back anytime!  Its really nice to spend time with people that love these dogs as much as I do.  I'm glad that the two midgets are doing well in their new home, its really all about the looks on those two girls faces when they realized that those were their puppies...both of thier parents bay so it wouldn't surprise me if they did also..lol

Talked to Tori this weekend, the Texas CHDA bay will be on September 23.  We are hosting it again for her this yr.  This is for NALC registered dogs only.  If anyone is interested hit me with a p.m. or get in touch with her and we will explain the chda's rules to ya'll.  She charges a gate fee but anyone can come watch even if they don't participate.

Thanks, Kelley
