EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Caught an old familiar Foe last night.We have been beat by this boar 3 or 4 times.Hambone winded the group in the same old thick a$$ head as always.Cypress Ginger and Lady got hung up on the group in the head going round and round.Hambone left with him at 11pm, 4hrs later and 7 miles later Dwayne and Charlie were sending young Xena to him from 20yds She did awesome sucked up an ear and kept it.I was on my boat a mile ahead at the Lizard infested Canal with Dozer waiting he was headed my way but luckily I was able to get around front and he turned at a 1/2mile from hearing the boat.I knew he was gonna head for it to loose us like all the other times and that little interruption in his pattern was all it took for Hambone to get the upper hand.He held him bayed solo for a long dang time before Dwayne and Charlie made the walk from behind from 1.5miles which was as close as Dwayne could get on his boat.Sorry bout 3 pics of one boar but I was pretty proud of this one.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190921/49613452186f713fae2952c75cd7c124.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190921/ca0b5dc3ad687f36500e8687b77030ae.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190921/1981f081c757b79c3e7fb49c7628bcc5.jpg)

Good colored, toothy boar hog ;)

Good hog...besides Hambone making a good dog he’s got the looks to go with it...that was a dang good solo run...

Yeah Warrant we don't catch to many spotted hogs I hated killing him but it had to be done.

Thanks Reuben he reminds me more and more of his momma every hunt.

We should be sports and help ole cracker out. What could we do......I know we auction ole hambone off so he could get him another dog. I'll start it, I bid $5 and a pack of juicy fruit gum (unopened).

10-4  I heard ol' Lee Lightsey is paying good money for colored hogs to stock his Out West Outfitters operation. 2 inches or better, good ears, lots of color is bringing $150 per head. Be a long haul for you though ;D

Thanks again yall.

That's a pretty solid offer T dog lol.

Warrant I'd love to meet ol Lightsey.Lord knows I'd love to hunt any of his properties.As for selling hogs I don't get to go enough or care enough to pen them and sell them like I used to.

10-4 It can be a lot to handle at times. I've said it before, if I could stay down there long enough to line up some solid buyers, I could make a pretty good run at it down there in SW Georgia ;)

Warrent You damn right You could.I work my butt off all week owning and operating my Tree Service and raise a big family I don't have the spots or the time to tie ,drag,transport, pen,feed and sell anymore.When I do pen some I just turn them loose on my property to catch again.Huntin is fun for me but it becomes work when you worry about sellin hogs.

Cracker that is spot on. I've been asked a million times why I don't do this professionally some how. Your answer is exactly it. When you start having to depend on it producing money for the bills or feed, etc. it takes the fun out of it. At least it does for me.

It can definitely become a full time job, sure 'nuff. ;D

Good hog! Thats a heck of a dog to stick with a hog that long. Seven miles is no joke!!! Where did those dogs come from cause I'd like to get my hands on some.

Thanks Bird they just some old FL Stock Bred Cur Dogs.

Good hog! Always extra special to get one that slid out the back door a couple times.
