I was planning on giving the dogs a walk but had only walked 200 meters when I saw Lightning putting his nose to the ground and take off tracking. When Lightning was down in the gully he stopped moving for about a minute before he put up two barks but they did not sound urgent, as if he had a sow or a young pig there. A minute later I spotted him tracking up out the other side of the gully but I could not see a pig. Fog had gone through this gully a little lower down.
As the two dogs tracked over into the next gully they were together and moving away from me. I still had Jeff and Thunder with me so I turned around and headed back to the motor bike. As I was riding around the road I noticed that the two dogs had a pig bailed just above the road. As soon as I turned the bike off Jeff and Thunder heard the other two and headed for them. I had stopped the bike just around the corner from the dogs as I did not want to upset their bail. As the two new dogs hit the pig broke down onto the road. I thought that I was getting some good footage until I discovered later I had turned the camera on and off to quick and did not record this part. The action moved off a couple of meters into the creek where I got plenty of footage. Two of the dogs were wearing muzzles Lightning and Fog. I noticed that Lightnings muzzle had come off so I called all of the dogs into heel and let this young 80 pound boar live for another day. At the time of this hunt I did not need any more meat for my freezer I just wanted to get the dogs and myself out for a walk.
On the way back home I managed to round up some of my cows using Jeff with the pig dogs sitting back watching. This is always good training getting dogs to watch other dogs doing a job that they themselves are not allowed to do. This definitely helps with stock training.
