Title: I gave a HogDogging Q & A for kids Post by: HuntingHeritage on August 02, 2022, 08:35:38 pm Met a teacher while roading my catchdog with my bicycle and was privileged enough to be asked to give a talk to kids in summer camp about hunting dogs and hog dogs in particular.
After passing a brief screening process for me and Hoss I put together a little script and brought some things I thought the kids would like to see like a cut vest and boar skull. I feel privileged to be offered an opportunity to do this and I am considering an attempt to organize something to do more outreach. These kids gave me a such a good feeling about the future, it was a great experience for everyone involved including me: After my speech and some very thoughtful questions, there wasn’t a single one who thought that hunting hogs with dogs was “cruel” and every single one wanted to interact with Hoss after knowing what he does for a job! We are blessed to have “traditional” hunting methods protected by the Texas constitution, but without knowledge of our rights they are easily abused or taken away. We have to educate our citizens, young & old, so that we can not only preserve our rights but expand our ability to practice and pursue these traditional means.

Education is key for the younger generation and some ignorant older folks. Good job.

We are at a place and time where too many city people watch cartoons and computer generated movies and don’t realize that ducks and rabbits don’t really talk or have the same emotions as humans. Separating fact from fiction is near impossible for them because they never been past the city limit signs of their city. When protesters carry signs that say “ save the cows, buy your meat from H.E.B” you know you’re in trouble. People don’t realize that hunting not only feeds humans, but helps control populations of wild animals to help keep them from starving of over population or disease. I could go on for a while as most of us could I’m sure. Thanks for doing what you did!

A dog with a solid temperament like that is a great ambassador for our sport. Shows people that most aren’t the blood thirsty savages they are made out to be. Maybe you will get lucky and get a hunting partner/apprentice out of the deal. Can’t go wrong doing good things and helping educate kids.
