Who really cares what he does ? Does it make u feel better about yourself to talk bad about others ? I have had several dealings with Josh and he's been honest and trustworthy.
Does it make me feel better to talk bad about others? A. No, I don't feel better about anything. B. I wasn't talking bad about Josh or Krystal. Do I think that the show is bogus? Yes. Do I like how Texas hog doggers are represented by those two? No, like I said before, it's pretty embarrassing to watch the show being from Texas myself. Do I think their dogs work hard enough, and productive enough to be featured as representatives of Texas hog dogs? Absolutely not.
Totally unrelated to the topic, I don't know Josh or Krystal, never had any dealings with them myself. For the most part, what I have seen of them and L3 outdoors in general, they do seem to be trustworthy dependable denizens of their community. I wasn't attacking their morals or integrity. UNLESS, you are talking of how shady I think the great dane/boarhound business is. And I asked a genuine question, and I welcome all responses. Even yours, regardless of its irrelevance to my question.
You have seen how the show represents him. Unfortunately for all of us hog doggers, most the tv shows want to make a joke out of us. How many hogs do you think they have to catch before they actually have enough footage? I have done a few guided hunts with large groups of people, none of which were a loud camera crew with a bunch of equipment, and I think you would be surprised at the difference it makes. I can only imagine what it would be like having a camera man stop me and have me go into a catch three times so that they can get the right shot. Reality TV may not be as real as you think.
I do not think that Josh means any harm with the TV show stuff. I actually think that he represented hog doggers in a very professional manner, weather that is how other hunters do it or not. I mean I don't go out in a starched shirt, although my jeans always are lol, and have logos and what not on my truck, but he did present himself professionally. Weather they SHOWED him catching a lot of pigs or not, the general public could care less. And believe it or not, discovery did not make the show for hog doggers, they made it for the general public.
All that is beating a dead horse, if you wanna stay busy with that, go back and read the hogs gone wild threads, should keep you busy for a while.
From my understanding, the boar hound thing is trying to take the great dane and breed it back to its original standard by breeding down the size and breeding in the hunt. When you start a registration, you have to start somewhere. This is how most registrations start here in the US (one individual and a dog), until AKC, UKC, ect, takes control of them. Usually, when they take over, is when the breeds start to go to number 2 lol.
This is going to take quite some time to get the "boar hound" to become more than one dog and get back to its standard, mainly because few people use them. But great danes and their crosses sure have become more popular since the show, so hopefully it works out for Josh.
Just because someone does something different does not mean they are wrong, I do things a lot different than the majority of hunters sometimes. Heck, I even go "one out" every now and then
