4 legged mules

I'll tell you a funny tale about this sort of thing, a long time ago there was a young man that started hunting with me and he bought him a broke mule that rode pretty good and we started jumping him, they have to jump to hunt off them here. He got to jumping good and we were hog hunting real regular, well when we'd catch a good hog I'd rig them up and drag them to a road somewhere so we could go back and get them, and one night Travis said I want to drag a hog on OL'Little Man of course I said okay. Well we were hunting below Eufaula dam on the river and got a good red and black spotted boar bayed in a weed patch off the bank from some farm ground, I got the dogs and I rigged the hog to drag and gave Travis the rope and told him to let me get back up the bank out of the weeds and then he could bring the hog up he says okay, I go the 40 yds back out to the farm ground and holler at him to come on and I took off riding, then I heard a commotion and looked back here came Travis Little Man and the hog as fast as he could run, he was running straight towards me and I was telling him to not run over us or wrap us up he said he was trying, about that time a limb on a big tree in the fencerow knocked his corded light off his head and it was flopping around, right about then he let go of his dally and the hog was safe haha, Little Man and Travis went another 150 or so yds and he got him stopped and came back he says I'm not gonna be able to drag that hog, give me the dogs, I told him there was no way I'd let him lead my dogs on that runaway S.OB. haha. I hooked on to the hog, kept the dogs and we went on to the truck. I told him the next time he came over to come a little early and we'd fix his mule so he could drag a hog he says okay. In a few days here he came and he saddled his mule I tried to hand him the rope hooked to that old semi tire "I had a bowline tied in the end so I could drop it on the horn and ride two handed " and he said no way was he gonna drag that on his mule hahaha I told him to get off I'd ride him and sure enough when that tire moved and rattled Little Man ran off with me, down the road we went, now this tire when turned with the proper side down would fill up with gravel and get heavy pretty quick, with in 300 yds little man was wanting to stop so I spanked his butt and had him go some more until he was blowing and dripping I rode him up to it and over it a time or to and got off and turned it over and we could pull the tire at a walk on a loose rein from then on Little Man was glad to drag a hog hahaha. It took just 30 minutes to fix Ol'Little Man.
