This is one of the toughest boars I have killed this year. Rafter F and Scott were on this hunt. We turned out at my place at Matador. Jessie started this track not far from a windmill overflow. The other dogs got in the race and it was a running gun battle for quite a while. This boar was all over the place and we had to track to them twice. Wes had brought his good finished dogs for this hunt and they paid the price but they did get this boy shut down. When I got to the bay I had cut dogs coming out to meet me, and they we turning around and heading back to the fight. I had Adora and Scot had a green bulldog to catch, it was real hot and I lead them in close, 20yds. Hog was standing in the open fighting dog and broke as the catch dogs were released. Got him caught and stuck. All dogs were real hot most were cut and Adora was down from heat exaustion. We striped vests and let the dogs cool off, Wes and his boy were for the trucks. When Adora could stand and walk we headed out at a slow pace and went to the nearest water to get the dogs cooled off.

Wes is on a new exercise plan or my directions aren't very good, one or the other.... , he said he enjoyed the 3 mile walk to the trucks that were a mile and a half away just at daylight.

Great hunt Wes and Scott, hope ya'll dogs are OK.....
