Hog Doggin' Reality Show... Who wants to be famous?

[Wmwendler]

i can think of someone who likes publicity and is probably jumping all over this as we speak........i'd say it's gonna happen whether we like it or not to be honest. hopefully it'll be a group of professionals.....

Thats the Sad part.

I agree on what some other have said......................an episode of  dirty jobs would be about the only way to go if one wanted to assure an acurate and respectable portrayal of what we do.

There you go, Get Pro Active, yall write that producer tell them to send Mike Rowe down and We can see if Mandi & Crystal will go for it, Jolynne TOO, and we girls can take Mike Rowe out for hunts with camer guys, Barsky and can't remember the other guy that alwaqys has to get in the nasty stuff so he can get picked on. LOL! I just want to hang with Mike Rowe if you could not tell!

My 2 cents!
Bad idea, no matter who they use, professional or not. Environmentalist/tree-huggers/PETA etc... will be all over this.

Here is a link I stumbled across the other day. http://www.topix.com/forum/state/al/TH170C1K5URSHF72N       A forum topic about hog-dogging that has been replied to for over 4 YEARS.  Back and forth from doggers to tree-huggers, an argument of one clip shown on the news. What do you think a series would stir-up???

I had people at work the other day mention calling the SPCA, "or whatever they are called", on me for having MY dogs in the back of the truck during work hours cus I was going hunting after work. Hell, they had a blanket to lay on and water to drink. I can only imagine what these folks may say if they saw the hunt.

People, i'm afraid it's too late to "lay low" any more. Matt and I were contacted by another production agency yesterday. It's seems as if the "wild boar" is the new fad in America...  all the big networks are interested in filming some sort a show about them. In the past several months we've been contacted by these two production agencies, two hunting shows, the Animal Planet... and the BBC .

The shows are going to happen whether we approve or not, what we all need to do help steer them in the right direction so a bad light is not shed on hog hunting with dogs.

I like the Mike Rowe/Dirty Jobs idea!!  I would love to tag along with ya'll Krystal!!  

[slimpickins]

Your right Mike, it's gonna happen no matter what we think.
I just hope they don't wind up with some inbred, fence climbin, no dog feeding outlaw.

Wonder who is doing it

[coyote hunter]

count me out  i catch hogs cuz its fun and the dogs love it and i hate them   not for the world to sit back and watch on tv and form opinions of their own without actually doin it themselves  any footage taken of our hunts is for us and other hogdoggers   i love the thrill and i love to see my kids doin somethin other than drugs and alcohol  this is something for us by us and i dont think think some city slicker needs to know about it  we all know its dangerous to dogs and to humans  i see an rip post almost everyday  thats sumthin peta an vegetarians will have a field day with  if they only knew that the hogs were eatin their veggies!  i hope whoever does it is a respectable hunter   i dont want to see another pig bomb type of hunter on tv   he was embarrassing   i do understand thats its comin to mainstream whether we or i like it or not but i think there will b more negativity than positivity   as for women hunters my wife run with any man any time in the woods and smile the whole time

Well the worst thing we ever done was sign in a contract with any production company! The tv networks went nuts on all the stuff the girls were going to do and loved it! But the production company was piece of junks and thought they new more about hog hunting than we did and only been around it for about a month!

All the dog footage they used to get to the tv networks was ours that we filmed! They were crazy people who knew alot about the concrete jungle but nothing about woods!

If any of you guy's decide you want to do this call me and I will hook you up with an entertainment lawyer or two! Trust me you need to talk to one before you sign a contract we talked to the lawyer after the first contract but before the main contract think god! Right now we are unable to do anything until dec. 23!! That is why all these production companies are jumping through hoops trying to get things done!!
We don't care though as the reality tv is a joke and that is way far than what we would want to do! Check the history on reality stars and what they are doing after the shows are done and if they want to do anything who owns them!

Well my vote would have been Jessee, but his hogs are only 100 lbs but they do have the teeth of a 700 pounder......

[Noah]

My vote's for J.P. as well... I'd buy the video!!!
