That one.

About two years ago a friend and I where doing a hog removal contract on a high fence ranch with my dog Capstick. He had been hunting with dogs for a few years but had never owned a real good one yet. The first day we hunted the contracted property we caught 42 hogs (All time self record. The hired skinners where not happy with us to say the least.) from 50lbs to 397lbs. Most of those where caught by Capstick and the rest where caught by Belle my other Ridgeback at the time. My hunting partner on the way home says " thats the best dog I have ever seen" and my reply was, he is my favorite but no where close to the best I have owned. He was floor boarded by my comment. Best and favorite are two different things all together. Capstick has been a good dog for me and is my favorite, but the things he has done could easlly be done by other good dogs. My best dog was a Bullydane I got out of the Austin paper named Tank. He stood 30'' tall and was 115lbs. I raised him from a pup, and this dog was as close to perfect as I have ever seen. Endless bottom, 100% silent in the box or truck, and just had a sixth sense for out smarting big boars. He lacked the one thing that makes people get attached to dogs, personality. Around the house he was just there. He didn't care for people and would make no atempt to please at all. Capstick on the other hand is 100% one owner dog. Thats why he has always been my favorite.

P.S. that 397lbs hog is why I am now a WWT scorer and all my hunting partners are too. Called Cody when I caught him and there where no scorers in my area. Live and learn I guess.
