I agree Alan. The problem I see when reading the DC blog is that even fellow hunters (not hog hunters) are asking why use a dog when you can just shoot the hogs. And actually I understand where they are coming from, especially when the premise of the show is eradicating a problem, not a hunting style. What the show has done is make it look like the dogs are used in place of a gun. Spotlighting and finding the hog while the dogs ride along in a truck or UTV, then sending the dog to "catch" it is making the sport look bad. And nothing against L3! The other crew did the same thing on last nights episode. We all know that the dogs are used for finding the hogs and then stopping them, but that is not what is being portrayed. The people on the blog are likening it to dog fighting, which we all know is not the case.
Three nights a go I came home at 9:00 PM, and when I turned in the cattle guard there was a huge group of hogs rooting in my father in laws heifer pasture next to his house. I wanted to go get my dogs, but I also knew I was going to get rid of more of them and out of there faster using the grill guard on my truck!
