[t-dog]

I'm gonna say one the worst jams I've been in came 2 days after having a plate and screws put in my arm. I got the bright idea to take two big pups out and let them run while I just eased around on foot in this set of woods I had never hunted. I wanted to see what the lay out was and I needed out of the house. As luck would have it those two young dogs found a boar hog about 235#. He broke and ran about 50 yards down into a dry creek bed and turned to fight. Well, I was leading a bulldog that had seen ONE hog. I thought I would try and get a better handle on him while we explored. So, they bayed it and instincts said cut the catchdog to it. Common sense should've said don't be stupid, common sense lost! BAM, caught hog! I run up there and immediately remember why I shouldn't have done that, I was literally one armed. We wrestled and stumbled and faught for what seemed like an eternity. Between my bad arm, the hogs size, and the position of the bulldog, I was starting to wonder how this was gonna turn out. I couldn't let him go because my now spent green bulldog was still on an ear. Even if he hadn't been, there was nowhere to go to out of the way of this angry beast with 2" machetes. Finally I got him thrown. The problem now was that I had dropped my knife in the fight and we had stomped it down in the sand so deep I couldn't find it. I had tried to stick him but I didn't have strength enough in the bad hand to do it and couldn't turn loose with the good because I couldn't hold him with the bad one. It was middle of the summer and hot as all get out so myself, the catchdog, and Mr. Hawg are all HOTTTT. Finally I remembered I had a pair of hand cuffs so I cuffed one hind leg and used my knee to push it to a front leg and cuffed him. Then I ran a lead from the cuffs up over a big root on the bank and kept his feet turned to the sky. I went and dug my knife up and then stuck him with my good arm. I decided right then and there I would never let those dogs talk me into anything like that again.
