Okay i may be frowned upon after this but i need to tell the story to make me feel better,kinda like a docter meeting
We have a place in Gladewater,Tx that is about 1100 acres that was an oil field, So they cut lanes in the trees and brush to there oil rigs. Well i went there bymyself one hunt and i had call kevin adkins and micheal waddle to meet me there well they were running late as usuall
and they had catch vest and catch dogs with them. I had my big catchy ybmc and a red cur that was a little rough and my catch dog. Well me and the land owner that we make a quick run through the briar and berry thicket at one end of the ranch till they got there. So i droped my two dogs out and we started the hunt we came around one clearing and there stood 2 hephers and a young bull all red. Well there was a black one too and after further evaluation the land owner said that is a HOG and we looked and sure enough was
, Well this hog was so big it was litterally eating and grazing with the cattle and thought he was one of them which he was. I started to get out the catch dog and i noticed my 2 dogs through the head up and start for the hog. I looked at the land owner and he said are you gonna try and catch that thing. And i told him WE BETTER WAIT FOR BACK UP!!! So i had to do it for the sack of the dogs and my lone catch dog i called the 2 bay dogs off and i loaded them up and headed back to the gate for micheal and kevin. Well to this day we have not seen the hog. However we did manage to catch 8 hogs that day
And we didnt run across BIG BOY.
That was the only time that i can remember having to call my dogs off becasue i was scared to mess with the BIG BOY alone. Note: The rancher and ranch hand both stated before the hunt they did not want to get in there and mess with the hogs.
