Cutter Bay's Friday night hunt

[12-GAUGE]

Well, Steve and I went to the woods on Friday night. It was the first time in a while. After a couple of empty drops, we decided to road Ramsey, Beulah, and Beulah's pup Ira. Ira just turned a year old. Steve coon hunts him, but wanted to see if he would like hogs too. Before we dropped them out to road, we reset their Garmin collars. They struck in, and were off. After 4.62 miles (per the Garmin), they were able to put a stop to a little boar hog. It was a nice clear silent night, and it was a pleasure to hear the 3 dogs work the track out. They would bog down in the swamp, then you could hear them pick it back up, and grind it out. Towards the end, we stopped to listen to them at a gate off the highway. Steve said, "Their caught". Sure enough, I could hear their prey squealling at the top of his lungs. We ran about 350 yards down a little woods road. They had caught him about 5 yards off the road in some pine rows. When I got their, Beulah stepped back and started baying again. Ramsey had the back ham in her mouth refusing to let him up. Ira had the hog by the head. He had a firm grip on the boar. I went in and legged him. I told Ramsey to let go, and she did. Ira had never seen a hog before. I was impressed with his natural holding style. He did a fine job on the track as well. I will add, he has a nice "male" dog mouth. After we took some pics, we turned the little guy loose to get back to the herd. I look forward to turning out with Steve and Ira again.
