Boar in the shin oak

Noah, on Tuesday, the first bay of the day was a sounder. Four bay dogs holding a moving sounder, they were making all kinds of racked the dogs were holding them together but they were moving off pretty quick. The first barks were at 680 yrds, I sent Curly from the truck through heavy shin oak. When he got to the bay he sorted out a big sow and caught hard. He was caught 1220 yrds from the truck, he held for about 15 minutes untill we arrived. Big fighting sow weighed around 230lbs. He was holding well and was not hot.

I have had Adora and Curly in this type of situation quite a few times and they have handled it well. It works best if you either have one running down, or sent at first bark and send the other when you hear a caught hog. The back up dog will take the heat off the first one and two big holders can really subdue even a good sized boar and hold him safely for quite some time.
