The fuss as I see it is that some folks may bar every boar for a year or two and turn them loose in a remote area that only the really have access to and there is plenty of country for them to hunt. Then when tournament time comes they use this place as a "Honey Hole" and therefore have a herd of hogs that have nothing on their mind but to eat and get big. They dont compete for territory, breeding, or range as far unless otherwise pressed as a boar hog would. therefore giving that team an equivalent of a stocked pond instead of an open public lake to hunt fo the torunament.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
This is not how it is this is not what we are trying to do. I weighed in one Barr after tdha competition this last year he weighed255 caught on a piece of property that does not work hogs. This hog ran over a mile and cut the hell out of my dog. It was all worth it to weigh him in. You guys have no clue we are not out to cheat you think we are its not what our plan is. If we catch a Barr we want him to count cause we know what we are doing. Ya'll are pointing out what a cheater will do and doubting our integrity . Texasj if the polygraph is useless than the hell with the whole thing. Im telling you guys I could cheat legal with out barrs on fee ranged hogs the man loves hogs and feeds 1500 pounds of corn a week. That would be cheating. We are not out to cheat we are competitive people and by being competitive we strive for the best dogs. We are not asking to count barrs to cheat we are asking because we know if we get on one the work that goes into it. Two years ago bumpers competition bayed a Barr a broke the catchdogs leg hog weighed260. Stop knocking my integrity we show up ready for the polygraph and ready to compete. The rule is stupid in my eyes and I will fight to keep it off the tournament.
I respect that a lot.
Chance,
I am in now way saying that even the folks that set these places up are cheating, because it never occured to me that could be considered cheating. Only thing we need to do is ask the question on the Polygraph, "Did you or any of your teamates catch this hog previously" If they did then that hog doesnt count and if they didnt then run it through the scale. That is the only compromise I see especially since this subject has been brought to light. I totally agree that they should be allowed to be weighed in but the rules do say no previously caught hogs so if the hog was caught by someone on that team before and barred then rules are being broken. I wish they never would have brought this up because we really just need to go have fun and catch as many hogs as we can, so the can be fed to the hungry or sold to a buyer and then the money be put to a worthy cause.

Tell me guys..
How many of these livestock/tame Barrs have y'all caught???
Do y'all even have any clue what y'all are talking about? You don't cut hogs or participate how can you sit there and act like they are freaking cattle??
I've seen a hog cut one day & released. The NEXT f'ing day he was caught 9 miles from there. Don't sit there and tell us you can cut them and they will just lay around on the property like fat, show hogs eating everything.
We dropped on a track last year and nine miles later put a stop to the rankest 300# Barr you have ever seen.
Do y'all want to venture and guess what our return rate is on hogs we catch and hogs we cut??
We catch maybe 25-30% of the Barr hogs that were actually ones we cut. We'd be broke men on the stock market with returns like that. In the last 6 years we have caught probably 60-70 Barr hogs. Don't sit there and talk about stuff you have no idea about and merely are assuming
