American hoggers

i watch the show and it makes my wife crazy,lol. i just see some folks basically being actors and sure dont think they are bad folks or ignorant. and for how their dogs hunt, we have no idea due to how the editing etc is done. sadly the genral public sees and dog hurtin pigs as typically not good. lots of folks tell me why cant we just shoot em as it is more humane.

also for a little info on how hunting etc is here in california today. the 3 dog per hunter law is not new at all. we also must pay over 20 bucks per tag for hog tags. during regualr deer season we can only use one dog per hunter. bulldogs can be used . but under sport laws we can only kill hogs with firearms or archery equiptment and you absolutely cant take hogs alive. and we can not night hunt for hogs. deperedation is different but lately they say we cant knife em or use dogs in most cases, even though dogs are legal for sport hunting. also under depredation permits and laws, the game wardens can and sometimes do tell us to bury the hogs we kill.

the bill to ban dogs for bobcat and bear is now on the governors desk, only he can stop it from becoming law now. also this bill was amended to add a thing called the hunting hound registry. this registry would cover any dog used to hunt, track or trail any mamal. im not sure that this might not try to be applied to stock dogs also. these hunting hounds would have to be registered as a hunting hound and microchipped. and if found hunting non registered dogs you would be guilty of a crime. and im sure this registry would also be used to have animal control count dogs etc as well as ensure you also buy local dog liscense in addition to the hunting hound registration fees.
