Foundry Man Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Well, I FINALLY got a chance to get out looking for sheds the other day. I took my yellow Lab, Badger, and we went to my favorite coues shed spot in the Burros. Found this nice shed. It was a fun morning. Badger almost got him and I killed by a herd of pigs with babies. It was scary! The started chasing him, and he came strait for me! No rocks within reach. Bad. Anyway, we made it out alive, and have a new shed for the collection. Later, Jason. This is Badger As it lay, not a hard find. Decent buck. I guessing 95" or so, if he has a decent spread. Gotta love coues sheds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huntingfool Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Nice! My dogs have had some close calls with pigs before too. They'll make short work of a dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZantlerhead Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Dandy buck!!! Descent is understatemant. A 85" bucky is the average " descent buck" Got that whooped with that bone don't ya! Javis and dogs, well. I know exactly what you mean my friend Try to make this short but I usually don't... Javis are no joke when you got a dog by your side. I've ben into trouble twice with My Dog Ol' boy with those suckers. I know what you mean. I actually had to kick one as it charged in gunning for my leg, got lucky, walloped him and he turned to help his buddy tare up my dog, wich had gotten in between me and the pigs. The outcome is classified. The other time I thought there was a bear in the brush on our trail. The dog went into the brush, I RAN to the top of the hill and waited. Calling and calling into the draw for a couple hours and ol' boy finally makes it back to me, Shredded but alive- with a mouth full of javi hair. Takeing a dog into the woods is a huge responsibility. After that last one i don't take him anymore. he's stood of 5 rattlers, Defended me from bears on 4 occasions( i have a thing with bears) who i believe would have mouled me had he not ben there(woke me up twice), but he stood them off. Ohh he's ben porcupined three times, lost part his ear to a coon.... Needless to say I don't take him out anymore, Stinks cause he had found his first shed on his 2nd to last trip out. Safer for my pet and the wildlife for him to stay at home. Still debateing if i want to get a strictly( hunting dog) not a pet. It's great haveing a canine with you in the wilds!. If you love um or even like umm i'd think twice. Lions and javis and bears ohh my..........Rattlers, porcupines, coons, badgers, skunks, hmm what else, Ranchers with wild dog fever, bee hives, tarantulas, trigger happy nut in the woods ( you sure that wernt a dog cletus?) " look like a doe to me jethro!) sandspurs, jagged rocks, and cliffs, He ran after a doe and i never seen him again?, Someone stole my 1000 dollar purebred man! ? Feral hogs, never seen one till today, and they killed my dog!? Did you know a pack of yotes will kill a dog, yeah they got mine? Hate to throw the if card. But old boy nailed half that list, lucky to be alive, feel bad for ever putting him in those situations, yes he would die for me..... Like i said, think twice before takeing your pet to the woods.... Hope i saved someone a vet bill or burial..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's got to be worth alot. Thank God your dog made it out alive. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foundry Man Report post Posted June 25, 2009 I know, Badger is lucky. Being a Lab, he really has no "bite" in him. I need to start carrying a sidearm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
