Tell it hollowpoint. You aren’t going to offend me for sure. I feel like this was God looking out for me. I was by myself so he sent a geriatric hog for a geriatric hunter and to keep from bruising my ego he made him look macho. The good Lord always comes through!

That’s a good read, after this afternoon I needed a good chuckle. That boar had some lengthy dental work. We caught an old over the hill boar about a year ago, but this thread ain’t about me…

Well, the story goes like this, once upon a time in eastern central Texas, a wanta be hog hunter was fixing to cast his young dogs to see if they could aggravate him. Well before he could get them collared, he heard dogs baying in the distance. He knew there shouldn’t have been anyone on the place where it was coming from and since he knew that he went to investigate. When he got over there he drove up within 100 yards of a pack of dogs, 7-8 total, giving a boar hog the blues. When I tell you these dogs were working that hog like a pack of wolves I mean exactly that. It was like watching National Geographic or Wild Kingdom. Not one dog had a collar on and when they saw me they did light a shuck getting out of there. I sent my Nala gyp and caught the hog before he could run off. He MIGHT have weighed 150 pounds. He was fleshy but I think pretty old. He didn’t have any power and his teeth were long and curled back on one side with the other being pretty long too.
I’m guessing they weren’t broke off from fighting because he just wasn’t man enough to contest the better boars anymore. Y’all would’ve been impressed with these lab/collie/ who knows what else hounds. I think I know where they strayed from so next gyp that comes in is going to get dropped off. Heck a little more collie isn’t going to hurt my pot lickers.

Tdog can't start a new thread for some reason so I am gonna start this for him. I won't tell too much but it involves collies and a toothy hog.

Sounds like your young dogs will be serving you well in the future, it’s always rewarding to see them develop and figure out the game. Friday can’t get here soon enough, deer season will be over and I’ll be back at the WMA. I’ve been fortunate enough to get a few invites, then went to a couple bay pens to give the dogs some activity during deer season.

 Well Grant, at that age the learning curve is pretty steep, they should make pretty fast.

   Slim I'm a poor camera man, especially while hunting but I'll try to take some and post'em. If you're ever up this way stop in and see them in person.

Good start to the year it sounds like Mr.Anderson. I’d love to see some of the dogs you’re feeding.

good deal clue, i got my two 18 mo olds going good over the holidays as well.

It makes sense that the female that got ran over was the best one. If she was sorry she would probably seem immortal. Nothing ever happens to the culls or lesser ones, it’s always the best one or the favorite. At least that’s how it works around here. Those high percentage litters are one of the keys to breeding success in my opinion. I always say I breed to a litter and not an individual.
