I cut a young dog loose one time by his self. There were some hogs that had moved into the area and some fresh sign in the bottoms. I walked along letting him do his thing and was pretty surprised at how he was doing. He got out of sight and all of a sudden about 100 yards up I heard him let out a big BAWWLLLL and then he hammered down and was baying his head off. I got fired up and ran to him. He had a snapping turtle bayed tight on the riverbank. Lol.
I was told dillos and snapping turtles smell like hogs by my buddy . Lol
