We are in Texas and we are one as dog hunters. Where we live we Barr hogs where ya'll live ya'll don't. It is the Texas dog hunters association not the Texas dog Hunter association with no Barr dogs. We hunt hogs as a tradition and would prefer hog over deer. Everyone with in 30 miles of me Barr hogs. We are not farmers most of us are ranchers there is a difference. These cowboys and ranchers work hogs on there own ranches I understand ya'll are not allowed to work hogs but we are different. Im afraid that if y'all take barrs out it will separate US. Matter afact I know it will. Someone will start putting on competition that allow them locally
We are Texas Dog Hunters Association as in protection for all dog hunters. Its not just about the hog hunting. I totally agree with you in difference in locations and like or dislikes when it comes to hunting. That is why i have to throw out my personal opinion and be here for everyone. Its like trying to force a democrat to become a republican or vice versa. We all have our own beleifs but at the end of the day i hope you and everyone else supports TDHA support what you/we love to do. It should not always be about the money, the prizes, and everything else that comes with the win. To me its about the contribution to the cause. Your helping TDHA lobby for you, your enjoying some good hunting with friends, all while in some way helping someone who is less fortunate then us to always have food on the table. I don't come home and tell my wife hey look at all the money i just won. I come home and say i took part in something that brought in close to 30000 lbs of food for the needy or helped give money to someone to go buy that food. That should be what makes you feel all warm in fuzzy inside.
We will do our best and i will make that promise to you (or at least i will fight for that) even if it means more work for the so few they volunteer to help for this hunt.
