Al, two things that we don’t have here in our area are rocky, mountainous areas and alligators. Those two things sure ad a twist to hunting. The real smart people say that a hog is one of if not the smartest animals. I believe that. They are as resilient as they get as well. Most people don’t think ...

That sounds exciting with the bear. It’s funny how you can think you’re in control only to find out you aren’t in a split second. That bear standing up like that threw a wrinkle in it for you. I remember hunting a Boy Scout ranch one winter. It was COLD! Any standing water had ice and it was drizzli...

Al I live in the eastern part of is still considered central Texas. Hogs are super intelligent and like the cats, after missing them once or twice they are really educated. Hogs can see things happen to other hogs and learn from it. For instance traps, they can come up on hogs in a trap that they di...

Man that’s a pretty cool video. Heck of nice Cat too. Your dogs look good but that poor flash light….

Al that might be at least a partial truth. The other day one of our dogs had three or four sows and some shoats bayed. It was really thick and from 10-12 feet away I couldn’t see them. He was baying hard and cautious but when our young dog went in to honor him, he wouldn’t bay. I watched him check t...

That’s good bud. I think there were 3 maybe 4 of them that fell into an old cistern that had no lid or cover over the opening. They had a dog or two fall in it and went to retrieve it. One went in to help the other and then another but they were all overtaken by gases and died before help could get ...

That’s a another good story. I’m guessing the plott got mortally wounded before they got to the final spot where y’all dispatched him?

Yeah we just had some hunters die out here this summer in a very similar situation

So I was reading some of Al’s stories and it got me to thinking about past experiences with my hog hunting compared to other disciplines. Do y’all think that one sex is more elusive than the other? With my hog hunting I have seen both sexes be pretty creative but I would have to say that the boars s...

Those are good stories for sure.

They put into law what raises the most money by the lobbyists and gets votes, they use what works

Bad deal. Sounds like the deputies were pretty dang smart. They fired warning shots, how about kill it. It’s a no brainer as to what happened and and wouldn’t have taken any more time or ammo to do.

When I was working at the prison, our hounds were divided into two packs, males and females. The males were taken if the track was colder and the females were used on hotter tracks. The mind set was that, as a whole, the males were colder nosed and more meticulous while the females were faster on tr...

Pretty neat Al. Good of you to give credit where credits due too. Good vets are harder and harder to come by anymore. Either they can’t find their own backside with both hands or are biased tree huggers, or both. It’s a shame. The best bet in my area is a mobile vet. She is really good and a good ol...

I like ole Belle and never met her lol. The vet sounds like a pretty good guy too.
