[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1837404, member: 40587"] I forgot to answer you about the dogs. Yeah, they are fine. When we take them on an actual hog hunt, they wear spiked collars and a Kevlar ( I think) vest. But, there was no time to put this on them, they were out of their pen so fast. They got the hog by the back of the neck and by the throat as soon as they reached him, and it was over in a matter of seconds after that. If he had seen them coming and had a chance to square up to them, he could have cut one of them, or maybe both, pretty bad. But he was never able to turn his head. If Clay hadn't shot him a second or two after they got him,. I don't know how long they could have held him. When Scott went to get them, I am sure he had every intention of putting their gear on, but he could not stop them or call them down, or anything. If Scott had got to the kennels a minute later, they may well have torn out of the pens. They normally run loose, but Scott put them up when we got there and unloaded the horses. My mule is a serial dog-killer. If they had came up to see the horses, wagging their tails or whatever...maybe sniffing them, and they got within reach of Festus, he would have went after them, and I wouldn't be able to hold him. They don't mess with horses or cows, etc. Nor do they ever try to get in the pig pen, which is only about 4 feet high. On a hunt, hey will sit on back of the truck calm as can be while the chase dogs are after a hog, til we send them out after the dogs bay one. When we heard the hog and Scott's pigs squealing up at the hog pen, they were just laying in their pens , and never reacted. But when they heard him eating Zeke, and heard Zeke's screams, they went psycho. Took Scott a minute or two to get them to release after it was dead. It was a hell of a day that day, and I didn't even think about how I went down there mainly to hunt, til I was on the way home that night. [/QUOTE]
