The way I understand it, and from all I've read, it seems those who have been vocal opponents of the no-Barr rule are opposed simply due to the fact should they randomly catch a Barr hog it should be counted. I believe the purpose of the rule is strictly to keep teams from stacking the odds and to promote a more even playing field.
With that being said, perhaps here's a solution.
Allow Barr hogs, and treat them just as any other hog in the stringer....basically one or all.
However, in the polygraph test ask the following question:
"Did you, your teammates, or anyone else knowingly release or relocate feral hogs in preparation for your teams participation in this competition?"
I think that would cut out all the BS of what the "no-Barr" rule is trying to accomplish, but still allow those randomly caught Barr hogs to count.
Thoughts?
I somewhat agree with your question bryant..
I think the release part of the question would trip me up. lol It is illegal to relocate a hog but not to release, at least that is what i have heard.
This would be no different than someone pre fishing before a bass tournament and then throwing the lunker back in the lake after catching it hoping he might catch it latter.
