... several miles into unknown property at this point, the hog now began to loop bay onto "legal" property lol... the stress level went way down as we crossed back over the boundary fence lol... at which point, Shine came bayed in an open flat under a low hanging live oak with palmettos... as we eased in, I could see how much room she was giving this hog, and I knew it must be a decent hog... got within' 50yds, cut Bucho to her and watched...
... silence...
... suddenly, a good hog blew out of a shadow... with Shine and Bucho on his ass... not good....

... luckily I was able to run Bucho down as Shine carried on, right on the hog's aish...
... as we came around a corner, came face to face with a group that had seen the hog and Shine go by... and dumped their box full of RCD's... as soon as he saw me he started apologizin'... but it was too late.
... as he continued to talk, I heard Shine come bayed about 300 out... immediatly, Josh and I left out headed to her with Bucho in hand... about half way there, the RCD's heard her, and made it to the bay... heard the fight, then only Shine bayin' again... cut Bucho to her at a hundred, ran in and blood everywhere... the RCD's got absolutely destroyed by this hog, thank God, Shine had the sense to stay smart and let them do their thing... Bucho hit him(no vest/no cut collar) and stuck it to him... I ran in, handled hog and done deal. Not a damn scractch to my dogs as usual.
MF'r that dumped the RCD's is apparently a well known "bay poacher" in these public hunts... I am not ashamed to say h e got what he deserved. If my gyp had of got hurt from him dumping his trash to my dog, there would have been a real bad F'n consequence.
Gotta love the drama of public hunts lol...


... Havin' said this... I would like to appeal to the powers that be to allow Josh(CutterBay) to participate in this forum again. He is a good man, although he can be a pain in the ass lol... I will stake my own name on his reinstatement to the board. If he gets pitched off again, yall can toss me out with him.
