There is no argument. These shows will mark the beginning of the end of hog hunting with dogs for sport. This sport is one negative national broadcast away from being out lawed.
Most hog hunters are good people having fun or providing services. The anti's see it as a blood sport. They compare this to dog fighting and hunters provide the footage that will ruin our rights.
These young guys that post bloody dog pictures on these forums don't help. The public can handle a bloody hog, but the dogs get people wound up. I'm not saying don't post pictures, just take a chance to point out the good that's being done, instead of trying to make your chest swell. If the facts get out no one can argue about what wild hogs are doing to the environment. But sadly, laws aren't always based on facts.
My Grandfather caught hogs, raised hogs and handled dogs all of his life for a job. I do it for fun and help local farmers. I have no memory of life without it, please don't take it away from me with careless words, and pictures.
It's not just hunters that find their way on these hog hunting websites. We have to be careful.
X2 I just watched a video on another thread of a shoat being held while a cur chewed on its head. a few months ago the video would have not bothered me in the least. now that i am aware of just how much hogdoggin is in the lime light i feel that those type of videos should not be uploaded to the WWW. Hate me if you want but i feel videos like that are fuel for the anti doggin fire and people should use thier heads a little better on what they upload. There are so many videos on you tube that I guess a few more dont hurt anythang
some of my all time best memories are from in the woods with my dogs and i do not want that taken away from me.... Sorry if i tick anyone off but i am gonna be real ticked if i get told my dogs are retired.
