Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes you're the hog.

Sorry gotta catch yall up again lol

One of two hogs we caught in Butler.

 

 

Anyway, this saturday be caught 2 little pigs in Nanafalia, nothing too special. Anywho, Sunday we hunted by oursleves again. We caught 2 decent sows first thing before seven a.m. The dogs did really well and we are very proud of them.

We made it all the way back to the camp with no problems. Every time we hunt i take Tanner and Betty and put them on the same leash and take them back to their pen together. However this time dad spilt some feed on the ground. When i pulled the leash they banged into each other and over the food they fought. I kicked in amongst them to break it up and Tanner accidentally bit me.

 

Everybody i told that story to told me i was crazy for not getting rid of the dog. It wasnt her fault. I shouldnt have stuck my leg in the fight and i know better. This was my fault and not hers. She still got extra feed for hunting so well. Just like she should have. A dog should never be punished for a humans mistake.

Butler hog

i'm sorry i haven't been keeping my blog updated. I've been dealing with my best friend being diagnosed with cancer and my "friend" going off to fight in Afghanistan. Anyway, we haven't been tearing the hogs up lately. we caught 2 pretty good hogs last saturday.

 This was one of them.

 

We caught them in Butler. We couldn't find anybody who wanted them so we turned them loose. They will be caught again another day.

 the present he brought me :)

a creeper in the night

So, last Sunday my alarm went off at 3:50am. Got up, brushed my teeth, pulled my hair up, and realized it was storming. I went and got dad up and aasked him if we were still going. He said yes. So i went and got dressed and laid back down in the bed. I woke back up around 9am, still in my hunting clothes. Needless to say, we didn't go hunting last Sunday.

On to this weekend. Saturday we went back to Nanafalia. We got on one big hog and the dogs finally bayed 500 yards in the thicks kudzoo and down in some the deepest gullies ever. Dad and Travis walked as far as they could and then crawled the rest of the way. They said the hog had some pretty good teeth but it was no way they could have gotten him out so they stabbed him and left him for the critters. He did do some damage on a few dogs though.

We didn't get to hunt Sunday because we had early church, but we did get to go to the sandbar. We had tons of food. We had a washer game and a horseshoe tournament. On the way out it got pretty intense. Somebody, I wont mention any names, wanted to race on the way out. So, we killed our lights and floored it. We were alright until we fell in the ruts and for a split secong i thought we were gonna flip over and die. We didn't lol. Then, we when we got home we went on the hunt for some stranger that had been creepin up and down the road IN THE DARK. We finally called it a night about 12:30am. It was still fun though!!
