Lets hear about some first hand stories about what you consider to be an incredible or awesome feat by a dog (one dog, not a pack of dogs). I remember Mike's post about JP's dog running a hog for 5 hrs and finally coming to bay.....AWESOME.
I bring this up because I think I witnessed an incredible feat this weekend. The dogs struck out behind a stock tank. As we are walking in with the CD's, we think we hear a sounder so we cut the cd's loose and they catch a sow. We figure that the sounder we heard was just the curs gets rough and catching out. Well we notice one of the curs is gone and this dog is notorious for rolling out like a scalding ape after a catch if there were more hogs around. We keep loosing and picking up signal on her collar from 910-960 yds. Some of the time it shows her treed but always in the same general area. It was only our second time to hunt this ranch so we didn't know our way around very well so we tried to drive closer but just ended up wasting time. Its been probably 30 minutes by now so we decide to just start walking. We get about 200 yds out and we here her bark about once every 5-10 seconds, not steadily hammering. We sent another cur in to help tighten the bay and when that happened the bottom fell out. She had a sounder of 30-40 hogs balled up tight for about 45 minutes until we got there. Its takes a helluva a dog to work that many hogs for that long without any help IMO. Damn impressive in my book.
Lets hear some of your stories.
