A little explanation on the number of dogs...
Preacher Man and BlackJack were bayed at ~ 1 mile. As we headed to them, we had some other dogs clipped in on the buggies, and the young Brandy dog on the ground. As we got to about 500 yards or so from the bay, we stopped hearing the bay, but noticed the little Brandy dog acting "piggy", we dropped a few older dogs on the ground to her, and they left out. Next thing we hear is all of them sounding off on the boar. Not sure if the hog broke on the other two dogs, or if they drifted into the creek bed and we couldn't hear them... At any rate, there were a lot of dogs that converged on that one hog. I can't speak for the hog getting away from the creek bed, other than to say he's dead now.
