Well, I have four boys at home, that absolutely love the outdoors and all types of hunting. One wants to be a game warden, and they all love hog hunting w/ dogs, trapping hogs, shooting hogs, etc.,etc. - you get the idea - they are some blood thirsty killers at my house! Last night, he was watching this show which is his favorite, and he was making comments about how the hunter looked like a fool, and the game warden looked like a fool. In the end, he said "boy, TV sure makes people do stupid things"! - He is 12.
It is pitiful that a TV producer can put a spin on any topic out there and make it seem one sided. We could have had another producer come in a use the same people to show how devastating the feral hog is to the environment and how much disease they spread to the food supply- then our phones would be ringing of the wall to get us over there to kill every single one of them. In the end, just remember that it is only tv, and only we can keep our love of hogdogging going by doing what we do!
Be polite and courteous to landowners, make sure we respect the game and the dogs, and remind ourselves that some people we may encounter are the "tree hugger" type that will throw comments and insults your way. Take the high road and try to educate them, but also realize these people are idiots that don't except logic. Smile and have a good day knowing that you and your family will eat good, adn when the world goes to crap, my guns and my dogs will keep my family fed.
