runners

Hunted today with a guy I have hunted with for years and we went west of Franklin, Tx.. The dogs struck right off the bat but the hog headed toward a place we didn't have permission to hunt. We tracked them probably 1.5 miles and picked them up before they got on the wrong place.

We come back and kick them out where we originally started and they bay up close. I am thinking this is going to be easy. Before we could get to it the hog breaks and goes in yonder. It runs so far it is a little closer to another county road a couple of miles away. We get in the truck and drive around and hear them bay. Tried to get closer off of another road but that did not work.

Here we go to the bay and it is some thick stuff. The guy I was hunting with wanted to shoot the hog because he has a new bulldog and it was not with us. Anyway he takes my pistol and misses and the hog leaves the country.

On top of that the brand new Garmin quits working and we have no idea where his two dogs are. I gather my two up after about 30 minutes but we still cannot find his. I check my GPS and we are 2.2 miles from the first bay. Then a guy calls after about an hour and he has his dogs and they are 5 miles away. The young one is cut some but not real bad.

So I don't know exactly how far we ran this hog but it was along way.
