If you are gonna hunt the public land hunts you come to expect. If you don't want people showing up at your bays claiming caught hogs then don't go. A lot of the people that go that is the best/only place they have to hunt.
They problem with Fl is there is no unified front for dog hunters. The Central Fl dog hunters association can't keep there website calender updated, let alone keep up with state issues.
For example. There is an organization called United Waterfowlers of Florida. We have a couple hundred members scattered everywhere. Every public water management district meeting in the state, someone is there. Every public state meeting involving hunting, someone is there. At every water management land meeting we are the only hunting organization represented. There is no dog hunting groups, there are no deer hunting groups, there are no turkey hunting groups. However there is usually 2-3 anti hunting groups. Who do you think has the advantage?
Besides what B.S. hog hunts we get on wmd, Guess the only other hunting allowed on Water district lands? Duck Hunting! That is not a coincidence. We chip away and chip away, year after year and get results!
You have to be willing to fight in the political game...The anti's do and they are winning.
you are 100% right...
