Our Main dog got killed today by an 80# boar sad to see him go but he went out like a champ doing what he loved battling boars!!!

Heres a pic of him and the jaw of the boar that killed him. Forgot the camera at the truck so didnt get pics of the boar.

ALOHA LIGHTNIING!!!

sorry for your loss.

ALOHA Lightening!

So very sorry to hear this, Dom.

Hey Dom, very sorry to hear about your loss. I was told when I first got in the game, never get attached to a hog dog. That hasn't worked out very well with me, I'm crazy about my dogs. We have loss some good ones this year. A 80# boar? Wow you just never know. Y'all's hogs got some crazy teeth. My catch dog got cut in upper throat area recently, if it had been a bit deeper we would have been in trouble. You can check out the hog that did it in my post "war". He didn't have crazy long tusk, just the short supersharp dog killers so many seem to have here. Stuart's cds got messed up pretty good by the boar in my post "dental equipment", seems we can't get any sows this year, just the dog killers. Why does it always happen to the GOOD ones? The turd eaters last forever.

Oh well, enough of the ranting, I feel for you brother. May you find another, soon, that will shine for you. May you remember the good times you've had with the one you lost. May you see his face smiling at you in your dreams, with the pride that comes from a solid catch.

Aloha Lightning!

God Bless,
Larry

Thanks Guys!!!

Aloha Larry, Yessir very true statement! For those of us thats been doing this all our lives we know and understand that its part of the game. We also know that every hunt could be thier last and we've made peace with that. But as you said its always hard to see the good ones go down. Especially when you cant do anything for them makes you feel so helpless. We have a saying here thats goes like this "The good ones go down while the scrubs hang around".

He left us with some good up and coming pups so hopefully they will fill thier fathers shoes.

Aloha No,

Dom

Aloha Dom, WOW, what a bummer, deepest condolences and sympathies on your loss. I know it's very difficult losing a good dog but he was doing what he enjoyed the best when he went, we should all be so lucky.
Those are big choppers for a 80 pound pig.

Aloha a hui hou, Ji

Very well said and absolutely true.

Those are some big teeth for an 80 pound hog! Man I feel for ya, I hate to lose a good dog. My old Catahoula, Fred, is getting pretty long in the tooth, and not getting around too well. It stinks too watch em go downhill, thinks its better to go like yours, doing what we love. Im sorry for your loss. Hope your pups turn into good dogs for ya.

sorry for your loss but this great warrior died ,with honour in the battlefield ,a great manner of dying today.

Sorry for your loss of a friend.
Those tushes are wide, and I'm sure razor-sharp
But was he 80 lbs or 80 KG?

Mahalo for the kind words guys! And yes you guys are absolutely correct he went out the same way I would've like a true warrior. His pups are doing well they caught a couple small ones yesterday. So their looking to make their daddy proud

SGraves- The boar was 80# I wish he went 80kg LOL!!!

Aloha n Happy Hog Huntin'

Dom
