08-11-08 Hunt

[Ladogos]

    I planned on getting up early and making a quick round this morning. Got up at 5 am  and it was raining. I didnt feel like getting wet so i got back in bed. Around 10:00 it quit raining and i couldn't stand it. Looked at the live radar and rain was all around but looked like i had a break. Loaded up the dogs and headed out.  I put just one dog " Uno " on the ground as i wasnt seeing any fresh sign. Or at least what i seen had all been rained in.  After about 30 minutes Uno started baying a good ways off so i kicked the other curs to him. Just about the time they get there they break and run completelt out of hearing.  I start going the way they went and could catch up to hear them again. so i stop and wait thinking well maybe it was a deer. So i start hooping and hollering them back and no luck.  I decide to go to the truck because i forgot my tracking system. I stopped about half way there and listened. In the faint distant I think my ears are playing tricks on meand think I hear dogs barking. I head that way and sure nuff. They are baying there A$$e$ off.  Went close as I could on the four wheeler and got hung up in vines.  I was about 300 yars away and kicked Recado off and he left like a bullett.  I was in slow hot pursuit behind him. LOL.  It wasn't but a minute and i hear grunting and a little squelling. I knew Recado had arrived.  When I got there it was a nice young russian boar. I would have Loved to tied it up and brought it out alive but it was impossable because I was huntting by myself.  Sadie rolled back out and i loaded up the hog. It started pooring down rain again and i couldn't track sadie so I left her went home and cleaned the hog and then went back later and found her.

James these are Cypress knees

They grow upward from the ground
 

A little training for De'Angelo

I had to break him off. He didnt want to let go



Nice Color Looks almost pure russian. That explains why he ran so far.

Not much teeth. Looked to be a young boar.






Anyone care to guess the weight ? ? ? ? ? ?

Glad someone around here is catching something!lol  I went out yesterday evening to bait up some holes around a cornfield.  Took a couple of young dogs with some older dogs. Needless to say they didnt hunt too hard until I was loading up the fourwheeler.  I got done and all were gone.  Had one bayed about a half mile from truck in Bayou.  Got in there and turned bulldog loose and bay broke.  At midnight I had all I was going to take so I went home.  I picked up the last three dogs this morning around 9:30 and I am not going to go back until my new tracking system comes in.  I knew better than to go out witout it yesterday, but I am hard headed!

Joey

[txboardog]

Nice pics Im not going to guess I missed the last one by so far  man I would hate to get bucked off in those cypress knees that would be worse than the prickly pear we have here!!

    I would have Loved to tied it up and brought it out alive but it was impossable because I was huntting by myself. 

If you were there by yourself, have you noticed the ghost in the picture with the cypress knees, or do you have Recado shooting the camera?

JUST BULLIN' you, Marvin!

GREAT HOG!

[BayedBlue]

Nice Hog! Great pic of all the dogs loaded up with the bacon! 

[Ladogos]

BRYANT,       

I figured someone would ask that question.    My camera has a 10 sec. delay setting on it. I sat the camera on the fourwheeler and pressed the button and then ran over by the cypress knees.  LOL  Thats why part of my head is chopped off.   

[BayedBlue]

the "ghost" theory was funny...
