EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Sean, Matt and I had an outdoor film crew with us yesterday morning. It could not have worked out any better with the footage we got.  Sammy and Cheyenne struck the hog about 50 yards from the trucks. The boar swam the river and bayed on the opposite river bank, ended up back in the river with four curr dogs on him. Finally got away from the dogs and swam back across. Walked up a feeder creek about ten yards from us wore out from the swim. Sent Clifford in and he hit him like a sledge hammer... it was beautiful! ;D

Stay tuned for more details!!!!!!!!!!

That's awesome.  Producing under the pressure of the film crew makes it even more awesome.  Good job!!!!

Nice, doesn't get any better then that!!!

i was really impressed with how the camera guy steve was able to keep up with us running to the bay. it was moderately thick stuff and that camera weighs around 25lbs! he kept up with matt and i almost step for step! really great hunt though ;D

Bet old scott never thought sammy would be a MOVIE STAR.. LOL
SOUNDS LIKE YALL HAD FUN. Sounds like yall have put a couple of good packs of dogs together.mike ,chris,matt ,,yall keep um comming.

Good job guys!!

Matt,
Did the camera man get two thumbs up!?  Definitely like the mule setup.

This was a really fun hunt!!!  The funniest part was having to do multiple takes of stuff like unloading the atv's and collaring up the dogs.  Sean and I got a good laugh when, after running to the bay and standing on the edge of the river bank with very serious looks on our face, were asked by the camera man who was now standing in front of us to go back up the trail and run towards him HAHAHA.  We both kinda looked at each other like WTF?  That is in no way knocking the crew though, they were really nice and professional and hung in there like a couple of pros.  I would hunt with either of them again no problem.  I am really glad we didn't have to go swimming, these four dogs together are usually pretty smart but they had this hog cought for a while before he made his second trip into the river and nearly had him drowned, they worked him over real hard, I think they were showing off for they camera  ;)

Here are a few pics of the hog up close after being gutted he was really fat and healthy....

Mike,
Thank you guys for doing this for me, I spent the day with them and got them up and sent them your way, sorry they got lost.
Glad you'll had a good hunt and they have a lot of story on film from Texas and finishing up at Wild Boar USA this week.

Thanks again for your help, put story and pictures on TDHA board.

LEt us know when it is suppose to be on... :)

Dang !!   now that is the top of the game, and able to produce a good hunt when you really needed it.  my hat is off to you guys!!

     i hope you guys will  still hang out with  a comon ol' hog hunter  from oklahoma, since you are movie stars and all. LOL

good things happen to good people..mike and matt are two great people(and while i haven't met sean if matt and mike run with them i'll take for granted he is just a good a person)...sounds like ya'll had some fun and ya'll definately did a great job of showing the world how you hog hunt properly...great job guys...

shoot craig, i think clifford is gonna be the star!lol. you should have seen him slam that boar, and the cameraman was right there getting it all!
and all the dogs did such a great job. old sammy popped his head up and bolted off down a trail to the left with cheyenne and the others in tow. then they all crossed the river, and they worked that hog as hard as i've ever seen dogs work a hog before. if it wasn't for their heart, that hog might have never swam back to our side. my hats off to the dogs! ;D

It would have made a better show if Mike would have whipped out the Kite string and tied that little puppy for the camera :o ;D

Longshot

Thanks everyone! It could not have turned out better than it did.

Mr. Mason, i'll get it posted on the TDHA board tonight... for some reason I can't log on from here? I'm glad those boys didn't drive all the way to Austin before they called me! ;D

Everyone stayed tuned for the details... it may be a couple of months.

Sounds like a good hunt mike i cant wait to see it on tv

NICE Movie Star...  I have one hunt on tape, I had a production guy contact me that lived in plano and after producing one hog dog video. He wanted to do it again but closer to him which i was. Well he came out and we went to a 7000 acre place and it was in the summer and it was hot and humid. We started the hunt and man that dang camera was in my FACE. I could not stand it well  we interviewed and we bayed a group or 30 or so Shoalts. Well make a long story short we ran pigglets all day and we looked like we swam the river and tired and was sick of that camera in my face. We called it quits and after a few emails i decided not to go through with it. It is hard work. So i applaude you guys it is difficult.

Lemme know when you are looking to bring in a handsome hunter.

 ;D

Great when it all comes together with a film crew.
