Look,  to land owners with little dogging experience , letting folks hunt with dogs is a bit scary as they consider the liabilities and risks involved as well as the possibility of opening their land to unscrupulous poaching and folks who leave gates open or whose dogs catch livestock. So when a landowner is considering whether to use dogs, gun and bow hunters or traps and they view this show,  here is what they will indefinitely come away with. Guys who trap are courteous, quiet and effective.  Whereas doghunters will drive to your property in multiple trucks. Unload multiple ATV's and proceed to go joy riding around your land spotlighting pigs only to ultimately realese a dog and quit after catching a decent hog in an attempt to quit while their ahead. With all the emphasis on how deadly the pigs are to the dogs its only safe to assume that all hog doggers want is to catch a trophy and Leave.

I posted last week thatwe should take it easy on him and I should've added take it easy on his wife, and I still wont participate in personality bashing,  BUT, the show itself made hunting with dogs look chaotic and HIGHLY INEFFECTIVE!!!!! .
