  15. Why Are Pig Hunters Always Raving About Their Dogs?

    I was Hopelessly addicted to bowhunting when I was younger.a fair bit of rifle hunting and a bit of dogging thrown in. Then after a complete break for many yrs I found myself and my city slicker Alaskan malamute cross wolfhound workin for a stint in central qld. I often thought that due to her strength speed and love of chasing things that she might just go ok on the hogs. How right I was. With an admirable level of enthusiasm she slotted right in as if she had been doin it all her life...one arvo late while doing the rounds of some very open country I spotted a mob meandering across the plain towards the ripening wheat. They never made it. I pulled up kitted up and walled down to get in a better wind position. Then with my fully plated dog on a leash in my left hand and my carefully honed f dick tipped home made spear in my right, we walked straight into th wind towards the unsuspecting mob . About halfway there she is really wanting to go for it but I wanted to get closer first.I in the open with no cover I knew it was only a matter of time before they saw us. I undid the clip. The race was on. All out in the open with no cover for several hundred meters they knew they were in deep trouble. They ran for their lives. The steamlinef shape of my dog at full gallop with dust flying up behind her closed in on one of the pigs. Behind them all the most perfect backdrop a hunter could ever dream of---a black building storm with bolts of lightning crashing to the ground. This is why we love to rave about our dogs. We just can't help ourselves!

    Extremely descriptive mate. Cheers.
