Went out to my usual public spot, I went to an area I’d been staying out of for a while. We get in the woods and start finding were the hogs had been busy diggin up acorns. The dogs trailed out a couple times without stopping anything, they got scattered leaving me to collect them up. One dog left the reservation and crossed a county road, he had a close call with a pick up.
I get them going in the direction I originally wanted to travel and I’m seeing more sign. I start thinking about sitting down to take five, when all at once the dogs throw their heads up and dive into a thicket of this bamboo grass (that’s 6/7’ tall) along a creek we’ve been following. I hear one of them catch. From where I was standing I see the brush shaking violently, I’m thinking we’re gonna put hands on this one, it gets quiet and I see a nice black boar bust a move out the back door.
The dogs come out in pursuit, but alas he had too much speed and head start for them to catch up to him again.
The day before the storm hit, me and a buddy went to the new private spot. First time there, owner shows us a couple places and leaves us to it. We walk up a hill and two of the dogs trail out and get bayed about 1/2 mile away. We drive the buggy to them and they got a young boar in a creek. My Dan and Hondo had his ears locked up with the rest of them supporting the cause. We pick up and find an area of hardwoods and dump them, in short order they move out and split. We hear a bacon bit getting stretched and the others got the sow.
We go to the sow, and Dan has her on the ear with the others cheering him on. We get her hobbled then the other dogs fresh from their adventure arrive and tell the sow how they feel about her. One of my buddies better dogs relayed and trailed all the way across the section and is bayed next to the hi way, we get there and send one of his rough curs and me Pete dog. Wrong choice, he was too much for them to hold and breaks, never to be seen again that day.
It’s dark now and we make a couple more drops and get into a couple of family groups resulting in a couple bacon bits getting picked up and other dogs getting scattered and bayed a long ways off. We got them all back to the truck about 10:30 and called it.
That is all.

That's a lot of hog action, sure helps keep young dogs focused.

Yes sir, I hit the woods day after deer season. All my dogs are young with the exception of one older dog, I’m trying to get them in shape and educated at the same time.
