I tried keeping an open mind before the program came on since I had read some post on here last week. I'm glad the post were up, otherwise I would have missed the entire show since I don't watch that much TV on Sunday nights. Well, I watched the "Pig Bomb" program first and thought they had some good interviews w/ scientist, but was surprised on how little data they had. Surely we have been having hog problems longer than they made it sound and they still don't have a DNA profile on the animals yet. More on that later! And we are trying to figure out what "strain" of hog we have in the US by doing a "visual comparision" with that of pigs in Russia?
Ok, how long will we look at them before they say "yep, these pigs have some Russian traits in them".
As for the people on the show - well, I could tolerate all of them pretty good knowing that the producers of the show were "making" TV. However, the people from L3 Outdoors looked like a bunch of idiots! Really, you gonna drive up in a truck with all the decals, get out in your starched shirt with the monograms, take the time to put the brand new shiny "breast plate" on your dog, then roll around on the ground with a 100# pig like it is eating you alive..........REALLY....... "Come' on Man"!!! Let us not forget the hot pink knife with the matching stones to go with the "bedazzled" belt she was wearing! I mean that is the kind of woman my wife wants to beat, just for being so stupid on TV. I am fortunate to have a good looking wife, but she won't be dressing in fake stones to go hog hunting with me!!!! (Just Saying)......
Now, to the meat and potatoes of my critique - I have one question.....If L3 is there to do a hog removal, why did they not shoot the pigs they could see just driving around w/ the spotlight. I mean, I would use all methods available to me that were legal and to me, I would have shot pigs while riding around, then turned the dogs out. Just my humble opinion to eradicate as many as possible.
