I liked when the tounaments raised money or meat to donate but I just don't understand what most people want out of a tournament today. It used to just be a fun time where we all hunted together and we got to visit and cut up at the weigh in. I am self admittedly not a super competitive person by nature but it seems like the desire to win has overshadowed the real purpose of what most of these tournaments originally started out as, ie fundraisers, memorial hunts etc. I agree that any hog should be elidgible for entry so I guess that makes me pro barr for whatever thats worth. I just hope those that feel strongly enough about the subject would refrain from hunting in the tournaments they dont agree with the rules on and see where that leaves the tournament the following year. Starve em out and start your own, its the only way your going to be happy.
I like Rex's idea and I had a discussion the other day with a buddy about it but I realy like the way coon hunts are set up I just don't know how to translate that in to hog hunts.
You hit it on the head Matt, i love to compete but what allot of people don't know about me is i have a little money to throw down for a bet and always love a chanlenge but i lose with a smile and i am proud of my dogs Most of the time!
I also like talking crap to get those more competitive people out there worked up!!
