  My mate Casey and I had made plans to go for a run around one of the blocks we hunt regularly. We planned to go for a run on Sunday and hopefully pull up some good fellas. The phone call was made to the property owner, but he had asked if we were able to take a couple of his mates out for a run with us while they were visiting. Of course, this wasn’t a drama at all. We set off from town and met up with Stuart and Ethan at the property. After saying g’day, and plating the dogs up, we were straight into it. The first creek we hit we had a mob-run off. The dogs nailed a little boar in the creek before running on to get another small sow up the paddock. As we headed up into the back of the property, the dogs looked keen and eventually after a little while we came across another mob. They flew off the back and caught one each, both around 40kg live as we headed back towards the front of the property. We had one last paddock to check that still held a bit of feed in the harshness of the drought.

  We climbed up onto the plateau and set off around the ridgeline. As we approached the last rise, we were going to check over. The dogs were looking keen when Ethan spotted two good boars, making a break for it. We shot over the rise and sent the dogs after them. After Casey and I took off after the dogs, we realized neither of us grabbed our trackers, and the dogs were deep into the neighbor’s property - this wasn’t an issue as we both know them well. We worked our way up and down the creek bank and through some thick Sifton bush when we heard them. Casey sprinted off as I tried to keep up (as usual). When we got there, we were happy to see the dogs had landed the better of the two boars and he had some decent little hooks for the area. We set him up for some photos. Then we let the neighbours know what had happened and asked permission to go in and collect the boar so we could weigh him. He ended up going 71.2kg live weight — no monster by any accord but a good pig for this area. He will definitely be one to remember; meeting some new mates, Ethan sticking his first pig, and good fun all around. Exactly what hunting should be all about!
