EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Iam tell a lil story bout a hog i chased bayed but never caught,he killed 3 my dogs in 3 yrs,and cut a bunch,it was a game to this hog,he jumped with in 500 yrds of the first strike evertime he always crossed the bayou ,and would run a mile straght,then to the nastiest brair thicket in ark. He would bay long enough to rest then run,put 20 miles on a garmin,at first he would always go were other hogs were.we would bay and catch but not him,then he started working on dogs and my wouldrun a mile but fight you tooth andnail,i tryed loose dogs,gritty and rough dogs,he would cut them all up.for 3 yrs this went bk and forth,i loved to bay him,man them young dogs would turn on he killed some cut a many,but the ones that made it they learned from that ole boar,and as grandaddy would say a blind hog finds a acorn some times.my daughter and i load up bout ten one morning it had rained all nite,so i knew i could find his track,i had 2 dogs that i had never tryed on him,nutty and missy ,i found his track not long after we started down side a corn field,i casted dogs took track went 500 yrds and set down,i new it was him wen i heard nutty open,my daughter and i got the wind in our face and went to him,this is the only time i think i could of caught him if i had my bulldogs,we got mybe 20 yrds,my daughter gets behind me this boar is load and ever time he goes for a dog the other one would bite him in the nuts,a site to see,we watched for a lil bit,i yelled at dogs to get bk i shkt him in the side,he takes off goes 200 yds through the woods and bays bk up in front of

The truck in a switch cane thicket and again every time he would go for a dog the other would nail his nut sack,i yelled they got bk shot him in the head.dogs went and got in bk of the truck.have pics i will send by text if someone would post,that ole boar taught some of my pups the meaning of bay.good hunting,first story i ever told like this.

 Dang good hog, likes the story as well. You know its amazing to me how you will be talking to someone about something out of the normal and then turn around and  read it are hear it   somewhere a day or two after. Just the other day me and a very good ole guy i hunt with was talking and he said, you know I've bought  many many many dogs trying to find something like what my old dogs where that i let get away from me, but  none of them have made it back from the woods with me. But i tell you what  these puppies that you and Kurt are raising showed me something the other day that reminded me of my old dogs, he said they  fade each other, i said what  do you mean, he said when that hog will start to run after one of the pups then the opposite one will try to  swallow that hogs a#=.  Sorry about the long speech wasnt trying to hijack your thread,  just when i read what you said i had to add that in.

Nice hog!! Glad you finally got him!

I have been there. Lol good hog for sure. Good story as well. Ol nutty is a ugly joker but he will hunt. I always get tickled when I look at him. He may even be uglier than me. Maybe. ;)

Those dogs worked together well... I think that's the best way to do it... Dogs gotta have that bond though...
Congrats on the hog...

I'm guessing the dogs were loose baying but would stop him when they needed to?

Ole nutty isnt pretty thats for sure,he gets the job done,bowhunter yes they are loose baying wen need to but will catch if need to,just smart dogs,have hunted together along time,nutty is a nut dog,if it has them he wonts to eat them,everytime he is with me,and i cut a boar,i feed him the nuts.

Sounds like a pretty good plott to me but I might be prejudice.lol  Good hunt.

x2...In my minds eye I see a pretty good dog that can do it alone...goes out finds the hog and sticks with the track...swims the river and stops the hog and stays bayed for a good while till someone shows up...then he sees the help arrive and with a little encouragement catches a nice boar hog...the only thing different I would have done is told the dog to back up and I would have shot that hog...that's a hog dog right there...

but no matter...good hunt and good dogs...

Hell of a hog! very nice, congrats!

Thanks all,the ole plott dog he been doing his thing along time,i jist dont like open dogs,he starts and finishes thats a hog dog in my eyes. He is my dads dog ,came from mr. Roberts.bout 7 yrs ago,cold nose.i fixed him up good he jist had one puncture wound ,he caught ole boar like a champ.

If ur dad gets tired of him barking on track don't bother me. Lol
