Is this type of press bad for most hog doggers?

Yes and No. I think the article is positive but it does down play the most common style of hunting.

I think only an uneducated or non hunter would believe that to be true. He is basically just trying to sell his style of hunting. I didnt see anything wrong with that.

However...I think any logical and reasonable thinking person knows the difference. The typically hog dogger realizes his method is just sight hunting and nothing more...no matter what he claims it to be.

Im sure his style can catch a hog but is not as effective or any less harmful to the dog....in fact it is probably more likely to harm a dog.

And if there is any question.....look who the article is written about....that should speak for itself.
