EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Jeff and a friend of Jeff's and Brandon met up around 6pm and turned loose my dog Superman and my pup Apache, Jeff turned loose Soka and some other dog i forgot his name, and Brandon brought a young dog he turned loose.  Started out kinda slow untill i gave Superman some incouragement and he left out.  He work every sqaure inch of this lower end of the property till he came bayed close to 700.  We headed to him when we got to about 400 dogs could here Superman and went to him.  Got within 200 yards and you could here a caught hog.  Jeff turned Jane loose from about 200 just to seal the deal.  After crossing several big creeks we where at the caught hog.  First one was a 140 pound sow to far from the truck and my fence line so we stuck the hog.  Took a break for a little while and decided to head out.  It's about 11pm at this point.  As we are headed out of the woods i asked who had to work tomorrow and Brandon and i where the only one's that had to be up ealry.  I asked them if they wanted to cut loose one more time at the front side of this place because ive been seeing a really good boar up there.  Everyone was good to go so we cut loose Brandon's dog, Soka, and Superman.  I left Apache in the rhino because he was a little ruff.  Good thing!!!!  Dogs opened up almost all together and had just a wonderful bay going about 300 yards out.  We had unvested Jane and Dozer earlier so we went to grabbing dogs and i decided to take a little time and vest Dozer.  Jeff was already ahead waiting on me with Jane and no vest.  As we got to 200 yards i coudln't hear a pig or anything just 3 loose bay dogs hammering.  Pretty open woods, it just sounded awesome.  We cut Dozer and Jane loose at the same time about 100 yards out.  Never heard a catch or anything.  Went in behind to find a damn good boar.  I notice as Jeff grabs one leg and tells me he only has 1 leg Jane has a bad flesh cut across her back and one down low that had her entire insides hanging out.  Her and Dozer are on both hears taking care of business though.  We rush to hobble the big boar with some dog killer teeth.  Get Jane and Dozer off and dogs tied and hog.  I rush to the rhino to get water and medical supplies.  Hopefully not to much damage was caused, we got everything put back in and stapled shut.  I know picture sucked because of bad light and tending to Jane but this was a really good boar.  I would say 280 for sure on the low end.  SOmeone else will be posting pictures.  We got out of the woods and me and Brandon headed to take the pig to get him unloaded.  Long story short got him put in a holding trap and put a dog lead around the door just to be safe.  Brandon was standing in front of the door when this boar throws the door open bust the lead and runs right out in front of him.  THAT SUCKS!!!!  Only happen to me a couple times but that sucks bad after the work we got done.  When i got home and got the dogs unloaded i noticed my newer cut vest was destroyed buy this boar.  Dozer took one about 3inches long thru the front double layer of his vest but barley cut him and 1 good poke to the front lower shoulder.  Great hunt with some good Guys and wanted to say thanks for Brandon coming out.  Great guy.  Everyone, please say a prayer for BLAKEBH's dog (Jane)  Great dog but took a beating last night for sure. 

Here is a video Jeff sent me! He had some dog wreckers for sure.

sorry i could`nt make it. hope jane heals up good for u blake. so i take it the boar got the slip on yall?

No boar was hobbled and loaded just when i unloaded him and got him in the holding pen he jacked around for a bit and threw the door open and off he went.  I don't really want to even try him again.  2nd round might turn into a blood bath.  Wasn't the biggest hog ive caught but for sure one of the worst attitude.  He chewed thru some of the siding on my rhino bed and broke my driver side seat!   >:(

Here's the pics I took.  The dogs did good stood back and kept him still.  I was standing about 15 feet from the pen after we put him in.  I saw him hit Tue gate and it came up about 8 inches.  I started  moving in that direction and he hit it again this time coming up high enough he could get out.  Tue third time he hit it I got my hands on the door but he was allready coming through and I realized I am standing in the way.  I tried to holdit down but to strong.  Oh well we caught him, and I got pics.  These pics really don't do him justice.

He was a dang good hog for sure. Hate he got away and I hope ya catch dog pulls though it ok.

sounds like one of them hogs that just need to bite the dust!

I hope that s.o.b. Boar catches a .270 right behind the ear!!! Great hunt Brian that one still got me fired up! That hog never made a sound while caught he was a badboy for sure! And that other dog was diablo he was on opposite ear from Jane and dozer.

Yea I called Brian this morning with every intention of buying him so I could kill him!

X 2

good hog and pics  hope yalls dog heal well esp the catch dog ..

Prayers sent for Jane. Sure hope she pulls through.

Well get that sob before long.

hope you catch the sucker with jane hangin off his head  >:D

MOnty- I'm glad old Stew was at the house on this one.  He might have taken a beaten on this boar.  He was sure pissed off.  I left out some of the story but the reason he was pissed is i shot him on Sunday evening just 5 days before with a bow.  It was a last minute dark shot on him and i clipped him up under his front shoulder.  He was sure pissed at those dogs and it didn't seem to bother him. 

Any update on Jane?

Yesterday afternoon she was doing good up drinking water. 

Good to hear!

Blake, if she continues to pull through, we need to lock her and soco up in the spring for sure!

Why does soka n Jane need to get put up for spring?

My buddy Dallas joined the forum after that hunt!!! Guess that means he had some fun out there! Thanks again for helpin us fix Jane up on the spot! I'm getting a staple gun.

My buddy Dallas joined the forum after that hunt! Guess he had a good time! Thanks again to Brian and Brandon for helping me patch Jane up on the spot! I'm getting a staple gun for dang sure now!

When I say lock up I mean breed. I figure since she came in to heat this fall, she will propbably come in this next spring.

Soco, my dog, not Soka... Close names lol

I just enjoyed watching you that night, you got pretty excited jeff.  Man, these dogs can take allot as long as you repair them in the field they can withstand allot. 

Yeah I was doing circles for a minute I'm glad y'all were there. Iv got a video of hur guts on the ground with her tail wagging while she's caught!

Oh ok! Yeah that's a good idea. What breed is soco?

I went home for lunch and Jane was standing up and wagging her tail waiting on me. She seems to be doing better everyday but still has a long road before she is in the clear.

Jeff, Soco is that Dogo that I was telling you I wanted to breed Jane too.

Hes a dogo, you can go through my posts and Brians posts and see some pictures of him. Hes 22 in at the shoulder and about 70 lbs ready to hunt. The sire to Brians Dozer dog.

Dang Brian hate to hear that he got away after all the fighting. Once with the bow then the dogs I bet third times the charm don't give up on him. Hope the dog is back in the field in no time

i know he sounds to be a rough hog. but maybe u should drop stew on him with ur rough pup, and i`ll bring trip!!! then we can give that boar a thumping he aint ever had before!!!im sure blske might be in for some revenge hunting. >:D

My personal opinion would be, since he would rather fight than run, I would run a few dogs that just bay and lead some good hard catching power in, vested to the t. I think this would be the best bet for not gettin dogs I messed up. If he decided to run, we got the bottom to wear him down and turn a few rough curs loose vested up when his breaks get shorter and have the cd right behind them.

Boys them loose bayin dogs are what kept him still.  No since in gettin rough till u send cds.  You get rough with his kind and they ain't gonna hang around.  Then ur in for a long race.  And I really don't care for races.  But hey we allready can say we caught him.

Im definitly in for trying to catch that hog again but I agree with TColt and hogdog05 on this one. The rough crew would prolly just make him run or catch him and get wrecked. He knew how to use his hardware! Even Soka got a 4 inch cut in her chest and she rarely gets cut.

Superman didn't get a scratch!   ;D  SUre glad Stew and Zig weren't on this hunt. 

Hes smart! Thats the first thing I said when I seen him on that video. Could have been a bad night!

well we kinda all know why he fought so hard, brian done poked him with a arrow. ;D im sure he aint got much run in him from the sticker. send a loose dog bay him up, get with in turn loose distance. as close as possible, and send the calvary!!! >:D

brian do u have a good idea where he might be hanging out since he made his escape?

If u fellas dont want rough i can bring my plott, but she like`s to work on some nuts. and i just got a cat gyp that is some kinda rough. she got a little gash on the side of her face last night.

I know right where he is!!!  This week was some bad luck after the 5 i caught.  I'm not hunting till next week. 

Cold front gonna b here tues, suppost to b in the 40's
