Boogie is a 3.5 year old red cur dog that Big E owns. For the last few months our good buddy JJ has been hunting him up in Gods Country north of us.
About 3 weeks ago JJ came home from work and saw that hogs had hot the feeders behind his house. So at 730 am he turned Boogie and 2 of his dogs, slim and tonto loose. He caught 3 hogs right off the bat and then the dogs split with Tonto and Slim baying a good boar hog and boogie falling bayed 1/2 mile out. JJ could tell it was a young fat boar so he decided to leave his two dogs working that boar and went to Boogie..
Hog after hog, boogie kept baying and rolling off. After 2 hours and still not being able to catch Boogie he went back to his 2 which were still hammering on that fat boar and got him caught. Finally at 3:30 that afternoon JJ got his hands on Boogie at the last hog
He caught 11 total that day and 7 in front of Boogie by hisself!!
Boogie is some kind of open cur dog though. When he's hunting he'll usually give one bark when he's getting close to finding the hog and then will straight sing to one while running! You hear people talk about open dogs not being able to catch hogs and so on.. Too me it doesn't matter a dog is either a hog dog or not, regardless of open or tight mouthed. The good ones get it done no matter what... Enjoy! More of a story, than pictures. JJ's phone died so he only got the first one

Sounds like a great hunt! 11 HOGS!!!? wow! I like the look of that red dog... Would love to put him with our dogs on a trail. Is he gritty?
