yep it all boils down to the county commissioners and the amount of poaching still going strong in those county's . it was so bad in some of those countys that you couldn't have or be caught with a shotgun in your truck at the same time you were hauling dogs . the corn pile deer hunters are a strong force and have a lot of pull in texas .
and the big reasons why the deer hunters have lots of stroke...because they pay big money to land owners to kill a deer...and they pay for deer feeders, corn, deer blinds and all the gadgets that can be sold and camo clothing etc...etc...and all the small towns fill up their motels and restaurants as well as all the small town stores sell lots of beer, groceries, ice and gas...did I leave something out???
For the most part the hog doggers don't contribute much income if any other than just kill off some of the hogs for the ranchers and farmers...
money talks and bullchit walks...
