Took the boys on a LONG awaited hog hunt tonight. We went hunting tonight with some hog dogs, owned by Jasper WInn, he brought his 7 yr old daughter Anna. We turned the dogs loose and about ten minutes into the dark, they got bayed. We went in and got within, 30 yards and the hog broke, Jasper didnt cut his catch dog loose because he didnt have a cut jacket for him, he wanted to be close when his catch dog was cut loose. That way he could be there to help control the hog.
The dogs bayed him within 50 yrds in some cedars. We got about 10 yrds from them an Jasper sent his catch dog in. The catch dog " hit" and didnt hold. The race was on again, they went about 20 yrds and bayed in the creek , this time the catch dog hit and stuck!!! We went in, Jasper went ahead and I was trailing, I helped Anna up the creekbank, Jasper,Trevor, Trace beat us into the dogs. As I set her up on top of the bank I heard Jasper say, Randy Im gonna need some HELP!!!
O boy this is when It got interesting, I come over and Jasper had the hog by the back legs, he said my feet are stuck. I bailed off in the creek and the water was about 3 - 4 feet deep. Now this is about as intense a thing I have done, this hog is pissed off at the world, 3 dogs baying, another on his ear and he's trying like hell to get out of here.
Then Jasper says grab his front leg and flip him, ah HELL!!
About the time I try to grab leg he swings around, me and Jasper swing around, Jasper never lets go, I nearly went down in the water. I come back around and and grab the back legs with Jasper and we did get him flipped, adrenaline rush. I had one leg and Jasper had the other, he said you got him, can you hold him, I said hell yea I got him and I aint letting go. Jasper got his knife out and ended it quickly, amazing how fast he put that hog down with a 5 inch blade. Craziest s*** I have ever seen. . Trevor and Trace were loving it, they are ready to go again. We would have kept on but me an Jasper had both boots full of water and were soaked and muddy to the arse. This was an awesome experiance. The first pic is where it all went down
