Title: texas hog hunting a success with pictures!!
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on March 06, 2011, 07:52:38 AM: three hogs down! I will get some pictures up pretty quick.

I met up with a local near College Station that runs cur dogs and got to go along for a hunt yesterday. What a pleasure to watch his dogs work! We ended up taking three hogs and leaving several others. Two sows were ~150lbs and a boar ~180 lbs, but no real tuskers. Hopefully this is a "first annual" event!! :)

Pork for dinner tonight then fishing in the gulf tomorrow before heading home.

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on March 09, 2011, 04:16:27 PM: we used curs for bay dogs. They do not use catch dogs. So, the dogs are free cast and they go find the hogs, when they do they bay them really loose and keep them piled into a thicket or brush pile. We slip in a shoot the hog at close range. The dogs are more like a cattle working dog than a traditional hog dog.

Good work!
