Me and Brushy Bill met up at his house a little before daylight and collared up and moved dogs around and came up with a game plan, a buddy of ours and fellow hog hunters lives around the corner from Billy and had been getting a big Barr on camera 7 days in a row in between their places, he suggested we go try him being as they were going to the river swamp, we pull into one of his pastures that borders a cutover our friend owns and see where hogs had came in and fed behind the cattle, rooting grain out the manure, we kick 3 dogs a piece out in different directions, around 30 minutes later both our garmins update at the same time, they had got together and had about 100 boar caught, my old cur gyp Girl rolled out and after some switching and a little schooling I get a few of the other dogs to roll out, this was the first hog my Bell gyp that came from Semmes and SwineStalker had actually seen and the first bay and catch she had been and was right in the mix getting a mouthful, we get back to the truck and I check my garmin and Girl is sitting down in a cutover, we pull over to her and she comes out of the cutover into the black top toward the truck, I knew something was up, Billy got jumped out to catch her and she ducked and dodged us and that’s not her at all, I told him to hold up and dump Bell, one of Billy’s young males and another gyp of his we picked up coming across a pasture, as soon as I reach for the tail gate girl darted back into the woods and the young dogs followed suit and were yipping on track, mean while my Ben dog and Billy’s Sophie gyp were showing bayed on the garmin, we pull a mile or two down the road and they aren’t locked down yet and are in a horrible green briar patch, as were sitting there we can here the other dogs a good piece off locked down, we pull to within 300 yards of them and they break and go another 50 yds and are bayed, as we were walking in there I see Bell literally get slung over the briars, were thinking it’s a good one, send Red and catch another boar 150 or so with a bad attitude, I about got myself in a jam, billy was taking dogs back to the truck I drug the hog closer to a pine tree, about the time he kicked a back hobble off and it snuggled down on my thumb and him kicking and fighting, we get him tied to a tree and go to the other two who are bayed now, we go in and catch another boar about 150, we cut the last two and kicked them back out and brought the smallest out for a man to cook....
