So I took my youngest son Slayde and one of his buddies/teammates this morning. His buddy has never been before today but I think he’s hooked already. We cast three different properties before the dogs got on anything. Outlaw and Hope went North and Ava went South. Outlaw and Hope bayed and Ava shot to them but the hog wouldn’t stay put. Finally it left after a few brief bays. Outlaw and Ava went with it west and got it stopped at 750 from us. Hope was still up where they originally started the hog and then it showed her treed a few hundred yards south east of there. I figured she got left and was looking for us. Loki got the boar the other two were baying caught and my youngest son Slayde (12yrs) was in there and had that sucker legged and thrown before I was down the creek bed with him. This put Hope about .6 from us at this point still treed. Still thinking she was just lost I cast Ava and Outlaw into a set of woods that ran straight up to her and about 700+ yards south. 60 yards out of the box they had a sow bayed. She went out the back door when Loki was coming through the front. About 500 yards later she was stopped and bayed. We caught her and Ava and Outlaw rolled over and went north to where Hope was now showing treed. Her hog had broke bay I guess when they heard the other two dogs first bay the sow. At this point Hope is bayed 730 north and the other two went straight to her. The hog broke again just as they were getting there. This time they all left and got the hog bayed at 700+ on another property. Called the owner and he said go get’em.  Got there and caught another sow about 180-200 lbs. So evidently I owe Hope an apology because I firmly believed 
she was baying that whole time. I THINK she was with that first boar and Hope just stayed with her. They were all 3 baying in the same spot and then the bay broke and that’s when they separated. Jonathan did a good job and just might make a hog hunter. He sure liked it.

1st boar, this picture doesn’t do him any justice

Second hog (sow)

Last sow and first solo hog for Hope if you want to call it that. She was the only one there for the longest so I’m giving her the credit. She’s only 10 1/2 months old so I thought that was pretty good for her. I think this is like her 5th hunt maybe.

Hope Ava and Outlaw

This is what every place looks like around here right now. Acres and acres rooted up!

Hope is a well made female and getting bayed alone and staying like that on her fifth hunt is exceptional. She should finish into one of the memorable ones.

What breeds are in those black and white dogs? They look like they can carry the mail without delay.

All three of those dogs are very close related. They are treeing Walker and Catahoula. The brindle gyp is very well put together too. I’ve never owned a dog that can get through the brush any faster or snakier than the brindle gyp. It’s really neat to watch to me. Most of my dogs are made like this. I’ll get one every now and then that is a little different but they are pretty consistent for the most part. The color of the wrapper is usually about the only difference in the litter mates. I get about every color there is with the exception of that slate blue with tan markings, never had one of those.

  Good hogs T Dog. We always thought that Hillbilly made some rounds up your way and that the neighbors Border Collie got loose but dog gone if I dont think you got some Whippet or greyhound in those dogs. They have grown up and good are looking. They sure look like they can carry the mail.

Looking good TDog. Nice crop of young, fresh legs you have coming along. Cool pic of your son with the Garmin around his neck. Nice to see a young man with that level of interest.

Dogs are streamlined with nice conformation. Look like athletes! Keep up the good work man.

I hope she makes it y’all. She’s definitely had to overcome some adversity to even be alive. A visiting bulldog almost killed her when she was about 3 months old. She stayed in the house so that I could nurse her back to health. Her throat was a wreck and she couldn’t swallow, drink, or eat. I kept fluids with dextrose in her and dex for swelling for 2 weeks. It was a lot of work. When she finally got to drinking again she improved a lot faster. I was worried that she was going to have permanent nerve damage for the longest. I can still see the smallest signs of it but it still improving all the time it seems.  I think it helps too that all my dogs stay out in a big dog yard all day until feeding time. At feeding time they each have their own kennel and go straight to it. When they are done I turn them back out. I wouldn’t have started hunting her until the end of deer season but she’s like the rest of these dogs in the fact that they are really smart and only takes doing anything a couple of times to get it. She was getting bored and that was getting her into trouble. So I gave her a job. Seems to be working.

Lol, Cajun you have an eye. It’s hard to hide some breeds. I was just trying to raise some smart, sheep herders that were fast and you could hear from anywhere and smell anything. Now I’m exposed lol.

I would not have guessed walker/catahoula, I suspected there was some sort of whippet in there. They look built for speed, again nice looking pack.

Glad to see men raising real men, and great work for the 10.5 mo old. Is that a catahoula? My buddy has a cat/e. pointer mix that looks just like her

Those dogs look great Thomas, I love those long legs and deep lungs. They look built for speed and endurance.

On the big dog yard, how big of a lot is it? Do you not have any problems with dogs getting scrappy with each other when they’re left together like that?

Austesus, I have about 3 different areas where I rotate my dogs around in. Just something to keep their minds stimulated. Each area is a little different in size but the main one is about 50’ x 80’. On the other two, one is about 50’ x 30’ and 30’ x about 70’. Because everything I hunt is out of my family of dogs, they grow up together so the hierarchy is established right off. My dogs aren’t the quarrelsome types typically and I have zero tolerance for too. I won’t say anything about older dogs keeping pups in their place but fighting just because isn’t acceptable. When I feed, each dog knows what kennel is theirs and when they see me coming with the feed bucket they go to their kennel and sit at the food bowl waiting. They know not to eat until I get done pouring their feed. I shut their kennels so that nobody gets bullied over food. Usually I feed my collie/plotts first and then
my bulldogs. By the time I get done feeding the bulldogs I can go let the other knuckleheads out because it doesn’t take them long to eat that wet feed.
