I could wite on this one forever, it just depends on how you see it and what side of the fence you sit on.  For example:

If you had been hunting dogs for 30 years and considered yourself one of the greats and you consistently heard front porch talk about all the bad hogs and how tough these hogs were and a lot of other excuses on why hogs were not caught, you may make a statement and there may be some degree of truth.  From the 30 year veterans persepective, he/she may beleive that there are new hunters and less experienced hunters (call them sorry..I would not) that have unproven dogs (which in some cases may be true) and the general theme of the statement is saying that men are not culling and allowing sub-standard dogs to exist.  In a lot of cases (especially today) average dogs are being beat by running hogs.  A lot of good dogs and great dogs are also being beat by hogs, just like Ben said.

I dont know if I agree with the overall statement and it is not a one-size fits all statements, but in some cases I can see the truth.

For most of the summer, I've been having good hunts and catching hogs.  This past weekend, the hogs flat smoked me and my dogs, I went home very frustrated and thought about culling the whole dang pack.  Does it mean I have sorry dogs and I am a sorry hunter...maybe a 30 year veteran would think so, maybe the hogs were better than me on that day.

Even legends, Presidents, and everyone else with a mouth says things that are not always true and can be argued.  I really dont know what else to say, but the comment is argueable and I'll leave it at that.
