Had Corey, Jessica and son Wade Dailey down from Idaho. Chris Powel from Houndsman XP with Larry Smith and my bear hunting buddy from Wisconsin down. Due to low tide we only caught 2 Friday. Just couldn’t get around.
  Went Saturday and caught 4. Got some cut up dogs

Highwater, I like that picture too. Pretty awesome with heads up like that.

Cajun sounds and looks like a real good time with real good dogs and company. I don’t know how else you could much better.

  Those dogs were striking a hog letting me know there was a hog close by. Problem was the wind was from the west and we did not want to turn loose on that side.

  Those gators are out with this warm weather. Hoping it stays cool so we can keep hunting the marsh.

Cajun how often do you lose out to a gator? We don’t have any in my immediate area thankfully. We had a few when I lived in the Palestine area and I can drive about an hour away and be in gators so I don’t go that direction. I would be in trouble for trying to eradicate them if they got my dog!

I remember a hunt in Palestine where there was a good size gator in this small private lake. We bayed hogs closer to the end where the springs fed it. We caught one and one swam across to the other side about 40-50 yards across. Well the catch dog was right behind the bay dogs so I knew they would be caught as soon as they got to the other bank. Me being me looked and thought, it’s way too far to the dam to get there quick and way too hard to cross around our end so I lit out across the water like the dogs. I looked back and my “buddies” weren’t coming. I said what are y’all doing? Are you coming or what? They said nope and pointed at the gator that was mid ways between them and me just sitting on top of the water facing me. Boy you talk about make your butt pucker!! Didn’t take me long to get on across. I tied the hog by the time they drove around. We left it at the edge of the water and that gator came and got it while we went on to the dogs again. I knew it was there but I forgot about that rascal. I remembered from then on. Didn’t mean to hijack your thread, just wanted to share my gator experience with you. I’m sure you have a ton of them.

  T dog, I have only lost one dog to a gator and that was about 3 years ago. A gator farmer told me it has to be 80 degrees for them to feed consistently but that doesn't mean they are not active.  One day We were hunting and it warmed up to about 60 degrees and my hat blew off. By the time I turned the boat around and rode back about a 4' gator had swam out to my hat and was just watching it from a foot away. If that hat would have moved I guarantee that gator would have grabbed it. We tend to stick to higher ground during the summer. I h. I like my dogs more then catching a hog so I avoid those areas. I have had friends who have lost dogs to gators but they keep hunting in places where they are really active. Hogs swim so bad and they normally make it across but gators come check out the area where the hog swam and here come the dogs.

Mike,

Couple years ago, I lost one to a gator in Feb and it was 40 deg the night before and mid 70's that day and gator got him that evening. Did'nt eat him but stuffed him and i found him 3 days later. I though for sure I was good but was wrong.

You are right about the warm winter and temps coming up. I seen a big sow gator last weekend (8'-9') That already had hatchlings, I usually don't see them till may-june around here. It is warm and they are looking for food for sure.

I swam a canal on the backside of lake Okeechobee to a dog caught on a sow and had 3 gators to my left and 3 to my right swimming as fast as they could to beat me to that hog and dog. I beat them across  pulled the hog and dog up the bank and they sat and watched me from about 10' waiting for one to get back in.

I know for sure you to tie a sorry dog in the middle of a gator infested swamp and he will die of old age.....but a good dog sticks a toe in the water and the gators are hunting it. I swear they can taste the difference!

Nice hunts.
