Here are 7 more hogs from today, i'll attach the story in a bit, I just typed it and Word decided to lock up on me. So i'm gonna post the pics and then edit in the story in a bit...This takes the group I hunt with to 43 for the year.
Went hunting at Dewees today, Ron and DC came down and I took Maggie along because i'd promised her we'd go hunting, then Calvin called and wanted to take dogs. We hadn't hardly got started and Ron winded this boar, took off at a dead run and bayed him up before the dogs ever had a chance. Ok well maybe it didn't happen just like that, maybe the dogs barked, anyway he wasn't any slacker of a hog and we rewarded him staying to fight with a compliment of catch dogs. Mr. Mason we where going to take him alive, but DC tried to castrate him and you know what happened next.[

He would be the last easy hog of the afternoon, we got to the 5acres of river bottom we where to hunt and it sorta looked like a harder version of hell for hog hunters. It was some nasty matted weeds that sorta looked like jumping cactus without thorns and you couldn't hardly walk in it. Let alone see, shoot i'd rather hunt whitebrush at night than mess around in that stuff, talk about Un-nerving... Well we managed to kill 7 total but none of them went like clockwork. I watched one large sow drag Sasha and Bud about 200yds when they tried to stop her with Bubba barking. I finally cut Bandit and T loose to hold her from about 300yds out just so she didn't drag em to the river and drown em cause she wouldn't stop moving. Maggie got to get up close and personal with her, I stuck her without anyone else around with Maggie on my shoulders in foot deep water. Maggies comment was, "That was cool, but we probably shouldn't tell Mommy."[] Then I impressed Ron with a 9mm pistol shot from a long ways off, didn't drop him in place, but he didn't go to far.[]
Then the event that just made Rons day... I was down in this bottom and Maggie was with DC, the dogs had a hog bayed and the bay dogs kept getting smacked around, they where not trying to catch, but they couldn't get away. So I slipped in and realized the catch dogs couldn't find the sucker in that mess, he blew past me at about 10' and I never saw a thing but the weeds shake. So about that time some dogs open up right next to me, so I lean over and go to pull the brush apart to see what they have and shoot it when my whole world got turned upside down. I felt this solid smack and next thing I knew I was laying on the ground and Ron is yelling, "Are you ok? Are you cut?" When I answered, "I'm ok, but its gonna leave a mark." Being the nice sweat compassionate person he is, he starts laughing....[] Then before I can even get home I have Thomas calling me asking how it felt and laughing at me... Just remember boys and girls, payback aint always fun...[][]
