02-12-11 Hunt with LaDogos
5th trip to Louisiana with Marvin and he finally took me to his "honey hole"
We dropped our two gyps Lilly and Bella about 10am. 20 minutes later dogs
struck. They went about 600 yards before they got it shut down. Cut D'Angelo,
Brica, and Luca about 200 yards out. When we got to them they were caught under
an old cotton bin. It was a good russian sow. Got her drug out so my wife could
stick her first hog. Took a couple of pics and put the girls up and dropped
Boots and Copper. About 30 minutes later Boots struck in the tall grass. We let
D'Angelo and Brica loose about 100 yards out. Before they got there the bay
broke. Hog ran out of the brush and smacked into me. The hog ran down the bank
of the bayou and hit the water. All of the dogs followed it across the bayou. We
thought it was gonna go up the bank but instead it turned around ready to fight.
D'Angelo caught the pig and drug it back into the water. All the dogs were
caught so I had no choice but to cross the freezing, chest deep water, to stick
it. It took all three of us and the Rhino to get the hog out of the water. As
soon as we got the big sow out of the water Boots and Coal rolled out and were
bayed about a mile and a half out. We got there and cut the rest of the dogs
loose. We walked the catch dogs in about 600 yards. We had multiple bayes going.
We saw two dogs pop out about about 400 yards away in a clearing. About that
time we saw a hog coming straight towards us out of the weeds. Marvin and
Lyndsay cut D'Angelo and Luca and they met him head on. Got that hog stuck . The
garmin showed Boots out 2.5 miles. Got all the dogs loaded up and went to
retreive boots. Great Day Hunting!
