{A person can go to the pound get a couple of dogs. go to their grandmothers, cousins, gram paws second nieces, neighbors 50 acers and catch a hog that is asleep in a mud hole. And now they are hog hunters!
Bet it's not that easy for the big game hunters}
That's 100% true! In that case, the poison is the best thing to ever happen to the sport. Make someone have to go 7 times in a row and load up without catching anything, that'll show you pretty quick who's committed and who's just jacking around. Probably see a much better average of good dogs out there too... Less hogs means less hog hunters. Not a bad trade off IMO... would rather kill half the hogs I do now and deal with half the B.S that comes with the label of being a hog dog owner.
Don't forget they think they are tuff when they catch a hog.
You are right if it was less hogs these fly by night hunters wouldn't be around.
JMO but I think the trophy deer hunters is why you can't get a lot of land to hunt and with all the feed they put out they are part of the problem
