I was supposed to hunt this morning with JOHN O and BRIAN K...I overslept ( told JOHN not to wait on me as I was BEAT last night) I called JOHN and told him to go on and I would maybe catch up with him this afternoon. A couple hours later my brother called and asked if he could either borrow a couple dogs or if zi would go with him. I called JOHN and told him Stewart wanted me to go so I was just gonna go with him since they were already in the woods. Stewart and I drove up and met JEFF H and we hit some bean fields. Before we dug our first one I called JOHN and he said they had dug 2 so far. Our first drop Casper and Hollie were trying to get in a very small hole. we opened it up and Hollie went in and got a decent sized hog bottled up. We dug to her and shot the hog ( have to kill em all in these places). We covered everything up and checked a few more holes with no interest.
At the next field we split up and drove the trucks around the field looking for holes. Jeff motioned for us to come over as he had an active looking hole. we saw him drop RADAR down and as we were heading toward him we saw a hog about 60 yards away drop down into a hole. By the time we got to JEFF he was already digging as RADAR was hammering. I grabbed CASPER and walked to the hog we saw drop down. I let him go and BLAM he was on it. I walked back and grabbed a shovel and a spade, and went back and dug him up. I opened everything up and got a shovel between him and the hog and cleared out above the hog and shot it...about 30 seconds later I heard "POP" as Stewart and Jeff shot theirs.
The next spot Hollie got another one and we got in touch with JOHN and BRIAN and they said they were outta dog power so we asked em to come and finish the day with us. While we were waiting on them MAGGIE got in on one but couldn't ever get it lined out so we tried CASPER And he couldn't get it lined out either...By that time John and Brian were there so we went to another field.BTW they had gotten 2 more for a total of 4
At the last spot we saw a HUGE hog run into the edge so we drove up to it and dropped MAGGIE down. She went in and did a good job, especially since it has been so long since she has been hunted, we dug it up and shot it and covered everything and turned CASPER back out . he went a few yards up and entered on a bank. We located him and dug him up and were on the hog. I had PINKY ( CAsper X Puddles) with me so we let her have a look..She got all wired up but never took hold or barked and Casper started drawing the hog back down through the tunnel towards the entrance.... He must have lost his grip right at a Y as all of a sudden the hog came barreling out of another hole and Casper followed.
We called it a day with ten total hogs accounted for...got some pics but only on my phone so they are TERRIBLE....We had 6 of the hogs lkined up across the tailgate with the dog crates behind em..Stewart ( little mister nice guy lol) made a sign that said F##K THE ANTIS and leaned over the dog crates with his middle finger sticking up and had me take a pic to post here. The pics are TINY and suck.
