Weekend before last was the best one we've had in a long time.
Saturday!
Found a big boy in the middle of the road about 5:45am. Turned Hound Dog and Whitey out and where did they bay? In the middle of a little pond! Soaking wet first thing! Turned both bulldogs a loose and Charlie did great! Caught by the ear and never let go... However, Jase caught by the tail and got pretty cut up. Several cuts under his neck and one good one on his hip. It was worth it though!!
And then one little pig after him...
And then that Sunday we got to hunt a new place! And the hunt was on! Majority of the morning we were playing catch-up with our hunting partners, so we spent at least an hour with no dogs on the ground. I finally told dad that we weren't gonna catch anything at all with the dogs in the box, so we let Tanner out... and she gave us a little pig. Running to her I got hung up on a vine and I hit the ground. I hit it hard too! Had to lay there a minute because my whole leg went numb... got to her though. No pic of it.
And then a little later on we got separated from everybody because Travis and Shannon got stuck and Woody and Melissa went to get them unstuck. Finally, after marking all of our turns with toilet paper so they could find us, Woody and Melissa showed up and said that Shannon and Travis wanted us to come back to them and see if our dogs would get on a big hog they saw. About that time, the bay rang out... in to this sow
We had just enough time to tie this girl up and the bay sounded again... another 200 yards into this little boar...
And we looked up and Hound Dog had swam the river with hog number 6 which he killed. He finally made it back across the river (give-out)... But while we were there we all stepped all over this guy...
We ended up with 6 total!
Melissa and ME
And then this past weekend we only caught 2 on Saturday, but it was a nice training day for Carrie and a nice renewal hunt in her Aunt Lisa
