American hoggers

Mandi,

I understand the public eye, and all hunters, no matter what your preference is, need to work together to protect ourselves and that goes without saying. I was just stating that I can see how the show can help and hurt. ( It is so hard to get in the mind set of these radicals that think that an animal should be treated better than a human, much less an animal like a hog that is detremental to the ecology as a whole and does not belong here anyway.) We also discussed how California has passed a law that you cant hunt hogs with more than 3 dogs on the ground, and I think you cant use a bulldog, but that may not be correct. It is hard to believe that a state, California, has such a bad hog problem that it has effected the health of all americans, the ecoli outbreak a few years ago, would put kill fees, and regulations on hog hunting. With the sport growing I can see where the states will try and make some money on them, but that is not going to help the problem at hand. The public is the voters without a doubt, but the Politicians and the landowners (the ones who are affected and have the ears of the politicians) are the ones that present and push or squash bills. If there isnt a bill to vote on then there isnt a problem with the public and that is the point I was trying to make with my statement about the public opinion.
