Hogs honoring a bay

I have been sitting on a few in my time when a hog has came to rally. My most memorable experience happens to involve a big boar that almost got me while I was tying a good sow one morning. A puppy we had with us stayed with me and continued to bay while I tied the sow. I heard something coming through the woods behind me and figured it was a dog. I waited till it was closer and turned around to start scolding when I seen this big boar practically on top of me! I dove off of the sow and scrambled to a tree. That pup must have saved my bacon because he never touched me even though he was right on top of me when I dove! The pup left with the boar and the sow with my tie rope hanging off of her leg. We caught her later that morning tie rope and all, but never caught the boar.
I have seen all sizes come to rally when the dogs were bayed. I watched shoalt no more than 50 lbs knock my cousin off his feet one morning coming to rally. He will tell you it weighed 150 if you ask him though!
You can bet that I look over my shoulder now a days when Im by myself tying a hog!
