Title: Pretty Good Hunt - 10 Hogs Down Post by: Bryant on December 13, 2011, 10:38:58 pm Don't post a lot of hunts and pics, but now that the weathers cooled down we've been trying to dodge the deer hunters and have been catching quite a few. Got a call last week from a rancher whom I haven't hunted for in a couple years. Got the old "eat up with hogs story" that I'm always a bit skeptical of. Anyhow, I rounded up a couple hunting partners and we arrived about dark. Long story short, we caught and killed 10 hogs in just over an hour and a half with the smallest being probably 150 pounds. Killed one huge sow that is currently being made into sausage at the processor. Most exciting part of the hunt was 8 out of 10 hogs were caught solely with dogs under a year and a half old including two of the three catchdogs we brought. Needless to say, the pups made us proud and earned another week of feed! My hunting partner brought four curs and I brought three....everything we had on the ground related.
All the hogs didn't make a picture together, as we didn't feel like dragging them together. These three were killed pretty close. The action was fast, and some didn't make pics at all. Mother on the right, son on the left. Boulder will be a year old Jan 15th. He and his two littermates I recently started are doing really well for me and aren't afraid to cover some country.

Mack is a Zeus X Comet dog and can run like the wind.

Title: Re: Pretty Good Hunt - 10 Hogs Down Post by: uglydog on December 14, 2011, 08:06:39 pm Bryant, glad to hear you have some more pups up and coming after having such run of bad luck with your last bunch.
Like the pic of the Zeus/Comet pup, chip off the old block for sure!!!!!!!! I had Smoochy last week take down some long distance sprinters solo across open pasture and even at her age is was beautiful to watch the gap in distance closing! of course then I had to go run after and leg it, lol. Title: Re: Pretty Good Hunt - 10 Hogs Down Post by: Bryant on December 14, 2011, 08:27:12 pm Like the pic of the Zeus/Comet pup, chip off the old block for sure!!!!!!!! Mack was a little late to mature, but my hunting partners patience paid off. He's solid. Guess you saw from the other picture that Zeus got a little action as well. I didn't even bother breaking him off before we took pics and all that. That's one thing I've always liked about him....dead, alive or whatever he's not coming off a hog until you "take" him off. I guess you realize that they just turned 7 years old already in October. Title: Re: Pretty Good Hunt - 10 Hogs Down Post by: uglydog on December 14, 2011, 08:44:45 pm YES the reality of the age is sinking i, and I am not liking it!
I am glad Mack owners were patient! Its really hard to wait sometimes. Title: Re: Pretty Good Hunt - 10 Hogs Down Post by: de_moon on December 16, 2011, 09:15:01 pm Nice hunt Bryant!! Glad to hear the Zues/Comet dog is doing good. Who has the other male that you kept for a while?? Congrats on the young dogs gettin it done.
