I do think the barr issue needs to be addressed and I like how the Randy Bumpers tournament took a percentage off. The fact of the matter is anytime a dog gets shot or laws come up against us as dog hunters who do we turn to?
Not any tournament that I know of uses money made to put in that pot beside the TDHA. Yes TDHA may not have all the buckles and prizes as others but that money is put into fighting for us. TDHA still has a great payout and lots of prizes. As far as the best of the best and a 10 hog stringer. Since TDHA is more of a state wide tournament I don't think as many people would enter because they don't have the spots to produce that kind of a stringer. That has nothing to do with dogs. Now does that mean its weaker tourny?? No...They could do a 10 stringer but would also need to keep the 4 separate. From a fundraiser prospective you don't want to make the stringer so crazy that fewer teams turn out. You have to find that medium ground and like T Shelly said TDHA def needs to figure out a way for barrs to be allowed so we don't loose those teams... I have a feeling that with all these different tournaments doing different things TDHA will take a little of each and will continue to be biggest hog dog tournament in the nation...Just my thoughts..
