Back at it again. In our south zone, the thunder chicken season is finally over. This is the last weekend for all the rest of the state. Hunting wiith my regular S Fl crew.
My dogs are pretty soft after the layup. But we pull in the gate about 4:30pm and see a group of small sows and and shoats out in the fields. So obviously we start the afternoon with pretty high hopes. We get the dogs and buggies unloaded and get after them. Send a couple dogs in the head we saw the hogs and get 3 good boars and manage to stay away from all but 2 of the small pigs. 2 of the boars over 200#.
Get them loaded and head to try another head to woods. Send two dogs in and in a few minutes one has a pig caught and one has another bayed. Going to the other dogs I see a real good white footed boar hog cross the road and go into the next rough block. Kick two cur dogs on him. They run him about three hundred yard and have him caught in the ditch but he was roughing them up pretty good. I guess the soft dogs got tired of running it! lol . Run to catch him and he is a real nice boar. Go back to the other dogs and get the two they had.
We load them all up and its good and dark now. Hit another head and catch 2 more decent boar hogs and pick a couple more off before we call it at about 11pm.
Ended the day with 8 boar hogs and 1 sow. And a couple smaller shoat pigs that I turned back out. 3 of the boars were good fat boars over 200# a couple more not far off.
Got a few more weeks of hunting to get the dogs hard. Then I am going to fly half way across the globe and try some hog hunting in Australia.
Happy Easter and thanks for looking.
I envy all yall in crawfish country. I miss a good crawfish boil for Good
Friday!
