sundays hunt......big boar down!

[boardog]

whats up guys , we got this hog on sundat morning with just one dog. had three on the hunt but two pissed themselve and left my best dog alone to fight this guy. we managed to pull the bloody dog out of the brush on a steep 60 degree hillside. got the dog out and started to look him ove and my partner says ''that hog is still in there, and he is close''. seeing that the other two wanted nothing too do with this hog i grabbed my 41mag and headed in. 5 steps in and the brush explodes to my right. instead of fleeing downhill he breaks uphill right for me. i had to wait untill he was close enough to spit on before i shot, the brush was sooooo thick! when he came hauling ass into the very small clearing he was met with a big ol chunk of copper from the 41. knocked him back but he kept on coming so i hit him again...........then again and one more time when he decided he didnt want to fight me anymore. dead hog!


for a little perspective the guy in the first pic is 6'2'' and 275lbs.

Great story BoarDog. Pretty intense stuff. You hunt in the Bay Area? I'm in San Jose too, but spend most of my hunting time down south around Coalinga.

Great pup picture. What do you hunt with?

Good deal Boardog, those intense situations is one of the reason I do this and the main is good dog work. Thats a good hog, putting big fellas behind a hog like that make the hog look smaller than it really is, I get it all the time in my pics especially when its a good one, Im 6'5" 320lbs so it gotta be a sure enough hoss hog to look big in a pic with me. Keep it up!
