That sounds like a great hunt. If you do not use catch dogs, do y'all just shoot them if they bay or do those heelers catch them? Are ya'll hunting private property or do you have government land or public land that you hunt?
My dogs catch all but the biggest boars, if they are baying I shoot. Had a badtrain wreck two weeks ago best dog now has a broken leg and another dog hurt bad but will be ok.
Hunting all on private land.
