Anyway most everyone I know was idleing down from work and looking for excuses to shut down early when someone spotted a bunch of hogs in a field. A few phone calls later and we had three strings of dogs and a few catch dogs loaded ready to go.
The hogs were feeding in a field that bordered a small neck of woods on the north, a road on the west and a large forest on the east but just past the small neck of woods was a large open corn field with absolutely no cover.
Our plan was to set one string of dogs loose to the east in the large forest and have another string standing by for backup. We figured if we put pressure on them from the east and the south we might push the hogs out into the corn field where it would turn into a shooting gallery so most of the guns setup on the edge of the corn field and waited to bushwack the pigs.

String of Walkers pushed them out of the first field and another string pushed run them through the woods toward the big field.
Catch dog looking a little disappointed for being left out of the action.
As everyone is knows, the best layed plans always have their glitches and rarely go as planned but this day was an exception to this rule. Here is some of what we gathered up within two hours. I wish I could say every day is like this day but its days like this that make up for those other days.
Funny thing about it is when we got everything layed out to clean most everyone vanished.
