The day after Christmas, all the boys headed out to Willamar to meet up with a pack of pig dogs. (I'm gonna hold off on mentioning the dog owner's name, because I'm not sure if he wanted us to be shooting video) The pigs have been getting into the stored grain out by the gin, so that's where we started. We worked some of the brush leading up to the pasture block, and finally found a big pack of about 15 hogs. The dogs killed one of the small ones before we got to it, and they caught another one that had a wounded leg. Cale wielded the knife on that one. The rest of the pack got across the highway and got away. From there, we hunted the backside of the L block. The dogs picked up a scent almost right away, and the chase was on. After a long run through the brush, through a muddy ditch, and across a couple fields, Cale, Keith and Charlie were the first on the scene. After a short wrestling match, Cody put his Rambo knife to good use and dispatched a good sized boar. After that, we had another big one on the run, but it managed to slip the dogs. Here's some shots of the dogs, the fully rhino lined truck, the hero shot, and the kill video.
The quote of the day was when Steve asked the dog owner's 9 year old daughter what the bucket of water was for on the truck. "Is that to give the dogs a drink?" -- "Naw, that's to wash the blood off the knives"
Calm before the storm...
Beast of a hunting truck...
Cold blooded
