Barrs:   TDHA Hunting Contest

This poll is in no way an official vote regarding the TDHA, as I have ZERO ties to them.  Just saw the need to host a poll based on recent threads.

Hopefully those making decisions will view this poll, and take it's results into consideration.

Joey the most money will be paid for the biggest event. If they separated it the it would be a smaller category. It is not illegal to turn barrs loose in Texas.

Not trying to stir up anything with this question but why is there such a stir over whether barrs are allowed or not

Every place we hunt has barrs if our dogs get on a running Barr or he cuts them down and he don't count in the competition than we waisted our time entering. They just changed the rule this year and it is for hunters in Texas and there are bars in Texas.

I have never hunted a tournament (i would like to) but i dont understand what all the fuss is with not allowing them. I mean your dogs still have to find it bay it and catch it! I mean its not always a cakewalk to catch em. Its a hog hunting tournament and barrs are still hogs last time i checked.

The fuss as I see it is that some folks may bar every boar for a year or two and turn them loose in a remote area that only the really have access to and there is plenty of country for them to hunt.  Then when tournament time comes they use this place as a "Honey Hole" and therefore have a herd of hogs that have nothing on their mind but to eat and get big.  They dont compete for territory, breeding, or range as far unless otherwise pressed as a boar hog would.  therefore giving that team an equivalent of a stocked pond instead of an open public lake to hunt fo the torunament.

How do you figure it isnt that easy?  I have seen it done on several occassions, and seen these folks cut every boar save them in a pen until they get a load and then take them and dump them in a spot that nobody has access to but them and they really dont have that much access to it.  You put that many barrs that will grow faster and get bigger, and you have serious dog power then you will flat out slam some hogs and some nice ones at that.

That's called cheating and the polygraph should take care of that.

I agree.  And if its not done on a grand scale, it's done on a smaller scale with just a few hogs.  And I have a hard time seeing how a lie detector test can sniff that out.

I understand both sides. But if I were to catch a big Barr during any contest I would want to weigh it in.

You're kidding right?

It's a simple question yes or no question for the person giving the polygraph to ask.
