Hog hunting contests have pop up all over Texas in the last few years. Everyone seams to think that it easy to put one on and make some money for themselves or for a good cause. Its not easy, that's a fact, and its not something that can be done without a great deal of thought and planning.
Well written rules are a must. Good management is a must. A top quality poly-graph is a must.
A contest lacking in any, or all, of the above is a disaster waiting to happen.
A poor quality poly-graph is worse than no poly-graph at all. That's why the TDHA pays a great deal of money for the best poly-graph man money can hire. And also why the TDHA spends so much time on writing rules.
A poor quality poly-graph coupled with poor contest management and/or rules is going to be a problem. Good honest men may have their honesty questioned when they have done nothing wrong. Others who have broken rules are not caught because the right questions were not asked.
There are quite a few hunters on this board that have taken the poly-graph at the TDHA hunt with Capt. John Slator or his staff. I am sure they can tell everyone what it is like, and that there is never any question about whether or not a winning team played by the rules.
If you have taken a poly-graph at the TDHA hunt post up on this thread and tell everyone your thoughts on the quality of the TDHA poly-graph as compared to others.
Thanks,
Paul T
