I've yet to catch this sucker..... He gave me 2 battle scars on my right tigh about an inch a half long each. This was prolly a year or longer ago.

I got a call from a guy that owns a feed store here in Hamilton about a place he had on the cowhouse creek that he's been seeing hogs in his wheat field about every evening.... So I just load up two cur dogs and this lil bulldog named daisy I got from a buddy. We hunted the whole place with nothing. Didn't see anything but rel old sign. I came to the conclusion that the hogs were just moving through there at night. I had a buddy with me that was down for a rodeo we had the next morning. He'd only been hunting with dogs one time and didnt catch anything. Dogs were tired and we were tired it was about 1:00 AM and he begged me to go try it one more time. The guy had told me about a little 200 acre place across the road from the one we were hunting that had numerous bull feeders the hogs were eating at and one stock tank. So we spotlight the feeders with nothing. Go to the tank and go look for some fresh sign of anything, wallows, rooting, tracks, anything. Nada. But he said turn them loose just to see wat happens. So I turn my yella dog and a pup out and in about 30 seconds they go out 500 yds and sound off. We get there, send my lil 45-50 lb bulldog, (keep in mind that my cur dogs won't put teeth on a hog at all and bay about 6-8 ft away) and my bulldog catches. Go in and see the hogs bk legs sticking out of a green briar thicket. I reach in and grabem. The hog spins, pulls me into the thicket, and hammered me twice, and breaks and runs. Bulldog still attached the whole time. He stops about 200yds away along a fence line and pins my bulldog and goes to town on her. My buddy for some reason had a lil .22 pistol and gave it to me I shoot about 10 times and hit him every time. My bulldog falls over and just lays there I thought I hit her.... The hog turns and runs me up an H-brace in the fence and my buddy up a tree. I shoot again and he turns and WALKS off. He had some dang good cutters but was prolly around 200+ lbs. But was blueish black in color and had a white patch on his chest. Ill never forget. I've hunted that place alot ever scence and never got on him. Havnt even got on another hog. My dogs are by bo means the best buf they will produce a hog if ones there. and the weird thing is nobodys seen hogs out there scence only on the ndighbor ranch. But the deer hunters say they hav him on trail cams about once a week then he's gone. And landowner said he seen him one time on the edge of the wheat field one time scence then.

Dog heals up fine and I was out of the hospital the next day but on day that sucker will be in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up on my wall.... I hope lol
