Laura and her friend Russell took me to an event in a south Texas town (can't disclose where to protect the guilty!)....they both raise dogs for hog hunting (wild hogs are a major nuisance around here, destroying crops and killing animals)...but tonight only Russell was entering one of his dogs "Compadre". Now this contest consisted of putting a hog in a round pen about 50 feet in diameter. Enters the dog....the dog is scored on how well it keeps the hog "at bay" by barking and staying close...points taken off for looking away or turning away, backing off too far, etc. Out of the 4 different events that night, Compadre won 3 with perfect scores every time!....trophies and about $350 hard cash later we headed home! Truly this is a serious redneck event! But I have to admit I had fun and the people were real friendly. Notice the full moon!
