They have this boar bayed up in a windmill over flow full of cat tails and that black nasty stinking mud that you find in such a place. I hold the bulldog hoping they will flush him out of the tank, but no luck. I send Jasper and he hits and holds and in I go. Knee deep water and mud and cat tails. I get a leg and try to stear the hog closer to the edge. Icant flip him and I cant let go or he will git back out in the middle, so I just got a hand full of mane and jumped on him like a horse, pulled my knife and stuck him.
Had 2 dogs cut bad, Smokie with a 6" gash on the hip and deep puncture, Jasper got a bad cut in the lower shoulder 6" and deep in the muscle. The tusk hit the leg flap on his vest and went right on through. I loaded the cut dogs in the Jeep and header to the house, woke up the nurse and she helped me clean and staple.
Good boar, dogs should be fine, and only a 1/2 mile from the house....a good night in West Texas.
