Fog bailed this boar from a distance and the boar was more interested in charging the dog rather than running away, this was his down fall. This footage shows that a dog does not have to hold a pig to keep it from running away.
I finally got a chance to get out on the hill with my youngest son Bryce. It has been a while since we both had a day off at the same time so it was good to get out together. There is still a lot of snow around so we were limited to where we could go. The first track that we tried to ride the four Wheeler down had a tree across it after 100 meters so we had to abort our first plan. The second track had a tree across the start of the track so our second plan was also aborted. Finally we thought it would be just as easy to stick to the main road. At least this road had been graded recently. As we were riding along Bryce spotted a good pig running around the hill face above us. By the time I parked the bike up Bryce had gone though the fence, crossed the creek and was heading up the main ridge. Being older with a bit more experience I knew that it was a waste of time trying to catch up with him. So I stood at the bottom of the hill and got to see the boar breaking around the next face. I got to see the moment that Fog spotted the boar that was at this stage
100 meters out in front and running for his life. That boar only made another 80 meters before Fog had caught up with him. I had a clear view of this happening out in front of me. As Fog confronted the boar it turned and charged him. He was far to clever for this boar out in the open though as every time the boar charged Fog out maneuvered him. Lightning must be getting deaf as he heard the first bark and headed down the gully in the direction of the noise but once he was in the gully he could not hear any barking and followed me up the hill. I was still a couple of hundred meters away when I heard Bryce’s 30/30 go off. By the time I arrived the boar was well dead and Bryce was enjoying taking yet another good boar. One of its tusks had missed the grinder and grown quiet long. A quick photo session and Bryce offered to carry the boar down to the Motorbike. I hardly had to get my hands dirty. Back at the hut the boar weighed 114 pounds.
