We've been having some awesome weather for the month of July, so we headed out an hour before dark Friday night for some hog hunting. We took the dogs to where we had seen some sign, and road hunted them for about an hour. With no luck, I strapped on the headlamp and took them for about a mile and a half walk up a creek bottom. Still no luck. So on around to the next road, we dumped em out and road hunted them for about an hour, and decided to call it quits. It was 12:45 am and hadn't hit a hot track yet. We loaded the dogs, jumped in the truck and went 30 yards and a big boar darts across the road. Out of the truck and dump the box, bulldogs and all. Dogs went out to 450 yards and bayed, bulldogs caught, and my buddy got there and emptyed his box. The bay broke somehow and they went out another 745 yards. Both of my bulldogs came back bloody and cut up, and a couple of my catahoula's did as well. My main dog, a treeing walker, was still hot on the track, and we went around a side road to a property that had a huge pond in the middle. As we are listening to the race, we hear a huge splash in the pond and the dogs are bayed again. We head down to the pond and my buddies bulldog was locked on and she was taking a whipping from the boar. We had to shoot the boar, and drag it out of the pond. In total, we had to stitch up 3 dogs, and a couple that are sporting sore legs and sides. Never thought I'd see a boar bad enough to whip up on 10 head of dogs at once, with 3 being bulldogs that are as experienced as they come to catchin pigs. We've been on some rank boars, but this one has been the worst by far..
