Why Do You You Hog Hunt?

I have several reasons that I hog hunt.

1. Getting to see good dogs work, which I can appreciate regardless of the job the dogs do. I can appreciate any dog that does its job WELL. Hogs, cattle, obedience, blood trail, etc.

2. Adrenaline, night before last we were in the woods, and talking about how neat it would be to have a heart monitor that would chart our times in the woods. From the first bark, to our arrival at the bay.

3. The "unknown" - You just never know what your dogs have found until you get to the bay, it could be a 100# sow, or a 250# boar with some ivory. It's like scratching a lotto ticket.

4. Quality time - Family, friends, and getting to see parts of Texas that you will never see from the highway. The feeling I get when our 7 and 10 year old daughters ask to go hog hunting with us, is hard to explain. Or seeing Mandi head to a second bay and have the hog legged before a catch dog even shows up! They are memories I hope to never forget.
