Carried Spoon Rusty and Chip Monday evening to some country holds good hogs pretty good. Pretty quick spoon struck at 600ish. a big boar 250-280lbs beat us in a foot race to the highway about 2 miles away. Got gathered back up and sent them back same way and at half a mile they found a big sounder that we’re willing to play the game.
I knocked 3 off the sounder before they finally broke. 5 more bays later across about a mile and a half stretch I finally had all 3 dogs back together and baying 2 boar hogs in a big cut bank. Not a single bay all evening was one hog. Went from rallying the sounder to baying 2-5 at a time. The boys done real well and when we quit 8 hogs were dead and another 5 or so had lead in them.





Was supposed to make a round with deputy dawg this morning but he had to cancel on me early this morning as his little boy had gotten sick. I missed the first text completely, so I was showered and dressed fixing to jump in the truck when I seen he had to cancel.

Ran to town for a red bull and come back. Grabbed King, Theresa, lulu, and Misty.

First cast they made a half mile south and hit blacktop so I reeled them back in. Sent them north and they made another half mile loop north. Theresa come back in(she’s the least experienced, MAYBE 10 hunts so far) but the rest stayed out. They’d loop and push, loop and push. Finally about 1.5 hours later they start leaving out across these hills. They crossed a blacktop at a mile and another at 2 miles from where I turned out at. At this point reception is spotty, they’ve about run me out of country and it’s time to just go catch them. I head around. Get to that 2nd black top they crossed and they come back online treed.
Pulled off into the very edge of where my permission ends. Sent Theresa and headed to them. They had a little ole 130 lb boar. I guess he had tried to leave at first because they had him pretty chewed up but everything had gotten hot so they were set back baying. Let them have a little fun and then knocked him down right before 10am. Had to give the old dogs their props. They did not suck this morning. 2 hours, 2.25 miles as a crow flies and probably 12 miles on their feet. Bayed in his bed.

That’s a pretty good showing, your dogs got some range, that would probably be the end of me trying to keep up with them on foot.

Today was a little excessive lol. Luckily they were 180 yards off the black top and 100 of that was unfenced hay field I drove. So I ended up not hoofing it too far. Occasionally I do. Monday evening killed 8 I did 5.6 miles(iPhone says so) behind 3 dogs on foot.

Pretty good hunts. Dogs are working well for you.

Sounds like a real good job by all the dogs. I hope you shot the hog that was sleeping with its butt to the big oak!

These yearlings from sketch and ray get lots of love down in this part of the world from the folks that know about them. all 5 we have I think anyone would be happy to feed. outside of all these suckers quitting me tomorrow. I’d dare say it was a successful cross. Soon as Misty or LuLu comes in, king is getting put over them. Time to do it again.

Going to have to sell/place a dog here after our panhandle trip in April. Got to make room for next round of prospects.

Lol I’m glad you’re happy with them. I like the sound of that LuLu / king cross. She’s a nice little gyp.

 Congratulations Slim, on the hunt and the journey you've made with your dogs.

Congratulations Slim, on the hunt and the journey you've made with your dogs.

Thank you sir. It is an ongoing journey, but we have made measurable progress I think. You and others on the board and the board itself has lent a lot to the ground we’ve made so far. 13 years ago I didn’t know hunting a wild hog with a dog was possible. The help I’ve gotten over the years and good advice has almost exclusively come from ETHD. Why I hate so much lately to see it fall off
like it has. Anyway…


Tim and I had us a good morning. Chomped on some pigs then carried their momma a mile and bayed her for a half hour or so before we killed her. One more cast cam after that come up empty but had us cutting dogs off at a 1.5 miles about to hit I-10 in Weimar.

Only pic of morning. That’s Tim’s good pup out of sketch and T dogs Ray before first cast. He’s a hog dog.

Good looking pup Slim

This is Rose. She’s out of Tim’s gyp and Hoss that belongs to The Red Nose. She’s ounces shy of 60# here. She’s very intelligent and really athletic. Like I told Slim, she’s nuisance when it comes to attention. She’d rather have loving than oxygen. I do like her a lot though. That wanting to please disposition is a must for me in a catch dog.

Rose’s brother Turk

Cardi(their mom) on left and Shaq on the right. Rhett has a gyp named Doja, built like rose with a black paint job.
They should be right around 9 months old. We are ready to put them to work. Just got to get a little more age on them.
