Eric i was thinking about the hunt and talking about it with my wife and we got a food laugh about having the supper 44 oz. syrofoam cup of water at the bay.  After recalling how and where we ended up baying catching and sticking that boar.  The more i think about it, it was a classic moment and will never forget it as long as i live and will probably tell the story several times.  so for everyone else here it is.

Eric and I were riding the tailgate watching the dogs winding off the box and cab when they take off, and Jared kills the truck.  We hear the dogs baying so we cut dogs loose from the box and no sooner than we do the hog breaks and bays again at a fenceline.  breaks one more time and then ends up in alot of brush with hog and deer trails through it, at one time we had to crawl through some trails.  As we get there the boar is dragging the dogs further into the brush and we finally get a chance to leg it and Eric goes in for it.  Soon as he grabs it he hollers out for us to stick it which i oblige.  So here's where i somewhat notice the cup of water but still doesn't really register.  Hog was pretty big so we decided with the distance, terrain and having to look after one of the dogs we decided to leave it.  After we get back to the truck and look at the dogs and water them, there is eric with the big'ol styrofoam cup.  After he takes a big pull of water he says in that voice when you drink a big gulp of water " I don't usually take a cup to the bay with me."  Thinking about it after the fact, we had to go through a barb wire fence where i kicked jared in the face, ran across a small pasture that was rooted tall to hel, haad to find whre the dogs and hog went under a high fence, crawled under that into the brush, crawiling through some of that and then doing it all in reverse again to get back to the truck.  Just something that i will always remember.

I don't usually bring a cup to the bay with me
