{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
Hillbilly your opinion is exactly right. They dont want dogs claim it scares the deer away. Then they complain that the hogs is tearin up their feeders and eating up their corn.
