EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I got a call Wednesday night that there were hogs in this guy's corn field, so I went by my self after I got home from church. My Red dog struck one about 300 yd. in the field and he ran to the edge of the field and bayed. I got him caught and loaded on the 4 wheeler, drove around the field and Red, LJ, and my pup April went about 80 yd. in the field and bayed a group. When the cd got there the pigs broke and Red started catching shoats that were laid up in the weeds. LJ, April and the cd went about a half a mile and caught. By the time I could get there they had gotten beat up and were headed back. April had a good gash on her side, so I loaded them up and called it a night, so I just ended up with the one boar that went about 135.

Last night my buddy Jake came out and we made a round on the corn fields that were now cut for sileage. Jake ran one of his young dogs and a pup, and since Red had blown his pads on Wed., I ran LJ and my fiests, Spud and Spanky. We were about to call it a dry run when the dogs made a turn and headed out. We heard them bark a few times, then Lj headed across the wide open field at a high rate of speed. He got to the weeds at the edge of the field about 1000 yd. away and started making loops and trying to work it out. I thought he might be trashing but we drove over there anyway, and when we got close the other dogs started working it too. It took them a few minutes and I was about ready to leave when they found where he was laid up in the weeds. We sent the cds and got him tied, another boar about 120 lbs.

I was sure proud of Lj since it was his first time as a lead dog, and last week he wouldn't bay in a bay pen??? ??? I started him last fall and he has been on maybe 30 or 40 hogs. This was the feists second time in the woods. They sure kept him sitting down to protect his jewels or he had a feist hanging from them. lol

Here is a pic of the hog from last night, I didn't get one of the hog on Wed.

Is LJ Catahoula? and if sowhat lines? He is a good looking dog.

NICE HOGS AND GOOD LOOKING DOG

Uglydog, he was given to me as a pup, and the man said he was 7/8 bmc and 1/8 b&t hound. He can be a little unsure if he is by himself but has all the confidence he needs when there is another dog there. He has bayed several by himself but won't keep one held up by himself very well. He hunts out as well or better than anything else I have and will run a track a long way. If I can get his confidence up when he is solo I think he will produce a lot of hogs. He started rolling out on his own pigs after the first bay after only a few trips to the woods when I started him. The first time he did it he ran one about .75 mi. and bayed for a bit but came back before we could get to him as we went to another dog that was bayed first.

nice

Good lookin dog and hog.

ive got a catahoula bout 14 months and when he strikes a pig it couldnt possibly make me any happier, unless it was a 500 pound Boar with 10 in. cutters :)
