EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I sure am glad deer season is finall over.. Just one more week of a special youth season. The kids have been going quite a bit at night and catchin quite a few hogs but Bob and I aint much on night huntin so we dont go with them to often.

We did go to a place that was hunter safe Sunday morning. Took most of the older pups and had a good hunt. All those pups are doing well with a couple 3 of em lookin like they really want to be somebody. Some of them haven been but just a time or too but they better lace their boots up, the time is near to wear some pads out.

Had some tough luck as Big Bens Gunner dog was killed today by a boar hog. Thats a shame he had made a nice young dog and was just getting better and better. Gunner was out of Bear and one of Barlows plott gyps.
Here are some pictures of a boar we caught. Ben's young Ginger pup ( cowboy x Sara) made a heck of run all the way on this running boar hog. She took a pretty good cuttin in the deal but was bayed solid when we got there. Her chest was pretty well laid open, she will be laid up a while. Lisa ( cowboy x Sara ) made the whole trip and may have been the one to strike the hog. She had found and bayed one earlier who ran them through some smaller pigs and shook em off on them. Jim Bob's Sambo ( the black and tan ricky pup ) really did well today. He to was in on the race and took a pretty nasty cuttin to in that bay. He looks to the kind at this point. Couple of the other pups fell in the race but eventually got shook out, they just need some time and experience.

My nephew Jim Bob,  his daughter Faith and my niece Wendy. ( Bob's kids ) Wendy is a better hand than 90% of the guys I ever hunted with. Dont think she wont wrap her hands around a bad boar hog and catch him.. lol

Good to hear the young dogs are turning it on..

Sorry to hear about your dog Ben!!

Good looking dogs.. Sure like that black and tan cur dog! Very nice hog, sorry to hear about Ben's dog

Sure enough killer there! Sorry to hear about the dog.

Nice catch

 Thanks fellas Gunner was well on his way to being a dog anyone would have been proud to own, he sure came a long way from when I first got him to the day I lost him. He will sure be missed. That was a nasty ole boar hog and Im glad he is dead. My ginger(Cowboy x sara) pup took a bad cuttin and was bayed solid the whole time, she is doing alright this morning just sore as heck. It was a pleasure as always hunting with Bob, David and the crew. Never a dull moment with David around thats for sure.

The first time just turned loose lisa, gunner, ginger, bud, owen and they quit and some back and gunner never returned with them. Thats when we found gunner where they first stuck the first time. Second time went around lake and didnt do no good dogs came back. Turned loose Ole sara and she struck the hog she was on the ground before lisa was when we turned loose in the pine thicket the third time.

Yes, RIP... part of the bizz unfortunatly. Great hog to go out on though. Garuntee they'd rather be chasing one of those on their last day, than be chained up rotting or getting hit by a car though. Great boar and good looking dogs. Sorry for ya'lls loss.

fine boar hog, sorry abt the dog. glad to see the young ones enjoying the sport.

Amazing Andrew... you got it all down just like it happened uh? Lets just say  I dont totally agree
with you analogy of several things, but it really dont matter.

Real sorry to hear about your dog.

That is a good hog though, glad ya'll got em!

I was kiddin uncle david not tryin to be rude or nuthing but you left out ole sarah thats all i was tryin to say

Dang it Ben... I liked gunner, was lookin forward to hunting with yall again so I could try to pry him off of you... Sorry to hear about him ! Glad yall got him out of the woods.

Too bad about the dog. That hog had some
Dog killers fo sure!!

Good hog man

Good Hog!! Sorry for the loss Ben

Sorry we upset everyone. It's my fault. Skoal dosen't like posting on this site, so I asked him too. From now on, we will just read yalls emaculate hunt stories.

Bigo... who's upset? I see everyone saying sorry for your loss...

Looks like DExter of the LSWDA took exception to mentioning a dog getting killed and two cut. I'm old and set in my ways, but I sure don't want to mess things up for the younger bunch.

I see nothing wrong with your post! Just giving the dog respect where its due.

Bob, I'd post the same post again, no need for you to accept fault for that. I did not and do not think it was in bad taste.

Rip!!! That hog look good on the wall!!!

Yeah, no need to app for anything. RIP! I got your back!  ;D

Sorry for your loss! when a good dog goes down makes me want to go after them harder! All that hate keeps me warm at nite though! LOL

I dont see a big deal in it either

Sorry to hear that sounds like he was gonna be quite a dog

Good 1

Sure nuff a good hog , I hate to hear about Ben's loss, but I sure enjoy  hearing how well those young dogs did. You have to be proud of them.

dam big cutters on him
