One Hell of a Closing Weekend

Since bow season is right around the corner, we figured this would be our closing weekend for hogs. We might get in one more afternoon hunt, but this is our closing weekend.

Saturday we ended up with 4. The first hog we caught about 100 yards from the trucks and not far off the road. A little sow. Since, it was a shoat about 75 pounds we figured that the big sow was somewhere close. So, we drove on about 50 yards and dropped again. Tanner and Whitey bayed her up. Some how the dog box came unlatched and the whole crew hit the ground. Of course they ran in there and tried to catch and the bay broke. Straight to the river they went. Drowned the big sow and came back thankfully. Hog number three was about 50 pounds and I didn't get any pictures of him since they cleaned him before they come back from the bay. Hog number 4 was about 100 pounds and they bayed her right off the side of the road. Even though it was fairly cool, I had to be back in time to go to the horse sale and we had to cut our hunt short...

Dad's little heater lol


And then came Sunday... We had 4 big boars down by 9:30. And with fairly little trouble (other than the usual trying to find roads and what not) I'm just gonna tell the story as the pictures go. I think that would be easiest.

Chiwa needed to warm up so him and Kade became real good buddies :)






 We had a little accident on the way to hog number 4. Woodie hit a pretty good ditch and it grabbed his dog back and jerked it right off the back... along with the two hogs, his cooler, and his dog

 Trying to find a better way back

A force to be reckoned with!!
