I just got off the phone with TexasJ ( Josh ) and we talked for a pretty good while about hog hunting , tournaments, and BARRS. I believe that he is an upstanding and sincere man to contact me like he did and explain his side of the argument and explain all that he does for the sport . He said that he is the sole organizer of the HDTT and that expenses and the website come out of his pocket. I commend him for the effort that he puts into his Trail of Tears and all that he does for the sport. I still do not agree with the NO BARRS
rule and never will because I believe that a wild hog is a wild hog wether it's been caught and barred or not but it's his Trail and like I told him, it does'nt matter what you do you will never satisfy everybody. Anybody that has ever coached a little league baseball, little dribblers, youth ranch rodeo team, or been a supervisor over several employees can vouch for that fact. I believe that he is the type of person that I would like to get to know better and go hunting and catch a trailer load of BARR HOGS with !
HaHa.
Well said I had a very similar conversation with him!
Thanks also to Jody and Lance. I enjoyed getting to know you guys a little better since y'all have both been so active on this thread. Thanks for providing me the opportunity to get to know both of y'all. Lance, my prayers that your operation runs smoothly and that God's hand is laid upon you that day.
I also hope that things change for both of y'all.
1.) I hope that both of y'all join the TDHA &/or LSWDA
2.) I hope that y'all's start hunting tournaments.
3.) I hope that y'all's plans change to allow y'all to hunt in future tournament in 2013.
I appreciate y'all's contribution within this thread and to the Barrs discussion. And after y'all become tournament participants and association members, we will then have these things in common. Thanks.
