a workout

Well, yesterday's hunt was very intense to say the least. We turned a loose while it was still dark in a corn field. Huge hog tracks all the way around it, they had this field tore up! The dogs bayed right off the bat. However, the dogs split and got on seperate hogs. Tanner turned his bulldog loose on his dog bay and the hog broke. The hog run right by us with all the dogs right on his ass. They bayed him again in the middle of the corn field. I turned Charlie loose and he went to them. But they couldnt hold him long enough and they started the run. 500 yards later they bayed him again. We drove straight down hill as far as we could, but we still had 300 yards to go. The running began. Tanner called to me and asked how many bulldogs were on him and i said 2. He told me his bulldog was not with them so i told him one, my Charlie :). Next thing i knew Tanner had turned Jase loose and he flew by my like a bat out of hell. Anyway, we run through the thickness straight down until we hit a creek. What waited on the otherside was the worst thing ever. A straight up mountain. We started the climg in the slickest mud ever. Tanner and dad were the first to the top, then matt and ivey. I made it to the very top and went to take the last step and slid all the way back down to the bottom. So, I just oppted to stay there. Brindle came back forst and layed down in the creek. Charlie was next. His head was covered in blood and his cut vest had migically disappeared. One by one the dogs and the guys started to reappear. Jase also didnt have his cut vest when he got back either. All the dogs collapsed in the creek. Tanner and dad said on top of that hill was 2 more hills and a cudzoo jungle. The cudzoo was so thick that 3 bulldogs couldnt get in to catch. They ended up stabbing the hog and leaving him behind. Then we got lost trying to get back to the rangers. We finally made it back and we made a pit stop by the trucks to get some drinks and then we were at it again. They bayed again agross a fence under the Tombigbee River bridge in some more thick stuff. After that we were all hot and tired and called it quits with plans to try again next weekend. Sorry no pictures, so ready to go i just let him go without a picture. :)
