Went out a couple Saturdays ago and it was our first hunt this year where we had a decent time window to run. Invited a couple buddies over and had a nice little pig roundup. Tied about half of the live and killed the rest. We had started in our first drop and caught three small to medium sows and are watching a couple dogs hunting out on Garmin when we see a big boar sneaking across praire into another set of woods.... So we take my Hank dog and Chizzle and set them on the track and wait a minute or two. 400 in we hear the sh** hit the fan and sounds like hank is catching which isn't smart on his part lol. So we haul but around and send two more baydogs to them and we kinda knew he was a real big hog so we got within a hundred or so yards and cut all four bulldogs. Hank and chizzle held him to within 50 yards of where they first bayed him up. And once all the bulldogs hit it was over. Poor hog just laid down and all the fight was over. Tied him and sold him alive(285 lbs) Hank had reopened a bad cut he was nursing so he went back in the box for the day.
Moved to the next area and dropped some fresh dogs and caught two more. 100-125 lbs.
Went to another spot that we had been anxious to hit and ran it pretty hard and didn't really hit much till the end and bayed up a big group. Kinda had a circus for a while but ended up getting 9 caught outta that group.
Took a break and had lunch and let the dogs rest. Hit the next spot and was a bust so we had one more spot to hit. Split the dogs and went on both sides of a big wheat field. Dropped Hank since he looked like he wanted to run on three legs and him and chizzle struck and caught a 200 pound boar pretty quick. Shut him down in a canal full of water so it was a little tricky but we got him tied.
Worked the other side of the brush and hit a big group of pigs and had dogs scatter everywhere. Ended up tieing two 200 pound sows and a couple 125s and a bunch of 75-100 pounders.
Everything in the trailer was ran across scales. The big one was 285 and had three more hit 195-200. It was out best day yet.
I think we had 12 in the trailer that we kept alive.
