3 little piggies

So, dad has been sick this entire weekend. Got up Saturday to go to Nanafalia and after we got everything loaded he said that he really didn't want to go. But we already had the dogs and everything loaded up so we went anyway. We got there way to early so we just kinda killed time in the truck till first light. When i stepped out of the truck I stood there getting the tracker ready and stuff. Little did i know that i was standing in a big old red ant hill. They crawled up my jeans and tore my legs up!! Anyway, we hunted all morning and came up empty handed.
We skipped hunting Sunday because we had breakfast at church. Later on that afternoon we went to the sandbar and hung out on the river. Well, me and my friend Angelica went for a "nature stroll" around 7pm. Well, of course, it got dark faster than we expected an her mom freaked out because we walked back in the dark. Big Deal!?! Not!!
Monday, Labor Day, we had a little bit better luck with the hog population. Started off slow, we kinda thought we were gonna get skunked, but we didn't. First thing, Black Betty left on a hog and we just thought she was running a deer so we left and kept on hunting. Little further down the way Hound Dog got on a track and bayed not 5 seconds later. Turned my younger pit loose and he wouldn't even catch! Anyway, I ran in there and caught him and brought him out. He was pretty tiny so we put him in the dog box. We left there and hunted some more. We got on another hog. They jumped him outta the bed. We could hear him grunting from the ranger. I don't know what happened in there, but they left the big boar and caught another pig. Dad and I both fought the briars and got him out. We also put him in the dog box. So, we kept on hunting. We have been wanting to break the terrible twos so bad!!  Well, we finally did it! We got down beside this big ole slew and loe and behold there was Black Betty. She musta been barking because the rest of the dogs took off to her. We cut off the ranger so we could listen. They bayed solid. We started runnin. Got to the slew, decided we didn't want to swim it, ran back to the ranger, and drove back and around to the other side. Good thing we did cause they had a good size sow bayed in the road. Igot out and flipped her. Dad finally decided he would come hold her so I could tie her. We were pretty much done for the day. We got back to the truck and had to tie the other two pigs so we could put the dogs in the box. I let Sherry tie one just so she could say she had tied one. She didn't like it as much as she thought though.

This is Gregg and Sherry along with her children Kobee, Angelica, Evan, and Mallie. She is the mother that freaked out Sunday night. And the two oldest accompanied us on the hunt Monday.

Bottom to top in order of catch.
