I am not the best so I won't enter! I have always enjoyed catching a Barr hog as much as any other hog! The easiest hogs I have ever hunted were having their way in a cow feedlot. They were big, fat, and couldn't even outrun my soup hounds. So why not make it a rule that the hogs cannot have any grain in there system either. This would also eliminate any hunting deer corn feeders. Don't these type feeders give an unfair advantage on finding hogs? If say you had a game camera set up and knew when the hogs were coming in. Or even hogs on an oat or wheat field! Wouldn't these hogs be easier hunting than say a hog in the east tx piney woods surviving on pine nettles. I'm not a real hog hunted, and not trying to step on any toes, just a question?
You're exactly right. I know for a fact that several contests are won each year by folks riding around a feed lot with a spotlight turning out on big hogs.
I can only assume the ones that have issues with barr hogs, haven't been around many barr hogs?
TDHA always allowed barrs when I was a BOD and all the years I hunted it. Is there a new rule not allowing them?
Gator Country allowed them last year. I was there as a friend was the recipient of all the hogs weighed in. Is there a new rule this year?
I know East Fork does as we won it last year... like Tony said, a once in a lifetime hunt catching four big barrs in a group.
