We had another exciting hunt this morning. Some guys that used to work for me on the base texted and said they had a friend who is hearing impaired wanting to come out and stab a hog. So we loaded up Alex, TO, C**n, Fury with catchdogs Draco and CJ. I invited one of my hunting buddies Tyler along with his girlfriend and cousin. Tyler brought out his pack of dogs as well. We dropped the dogs in 4 or 5 different places and had a few shorts races but dogs would loose them and drift back in. Plus it was hot, dry and no wind. Around 1030 (as its really heating up), I run back to the kennels and swith out dogs. I load up Bambi, Ty, Apache and Wyatt. We head back over to the ranch and I decide to turn loose right down from the pond. I wanted the dogs to go North into the middle section but you know how that goes. Ty, Bambi and Tyler's dogs go the way I want them to but Apache and Wyatt go south. About 10 minutes go by and I hear Wyatt baying which is unusual for him as he usually just catches. Then I hear a big grunt and I knew he was caught. Look at the garmin and Apache got there and caught which made Wyatt catch. We drove down the middle sendera behind the pond. Tyler and his cousin Eric head into the east thicket. My wife said drive around to the east fenceline which I did and sure enough, the dogs are caught about 40 yards in. We turn loose Draco and CJ. My wife is already in there and tells us to come on as my other dogs are showing up to help. Tyler gets there and legs the hog. Our hunter gets up there and makes a great stab and drops the big boar in his tracks. Our hunter was ecstatic. It was great seeing my working buddies and of course I couldn't have done it without the help from my wife, Tyler and Eric.
