Having said that there are some around here that will openly admit they don't care for dog hunters and make "our" lives harder. Also, while in the national forest this year a federal game warden went to tell us that we were the problem and we had created the hog problem as it exists now and that we will prolly lose the right to hunt with dogs there because "we" help perpetuate the problem.

I guess I am talking about my area....I believe that happened but cant believe a SOB can be that sorry. Im pretty fortunate to know and be friends with many Game Wardens. Besides being friends...dog hunters in my area are not very popular and pretty much unheard of. The education and experience the local game warden gets here are through what they have seen with me. Hopefully that is positive and they have a good feel for what we do and not some rare incident from a bad circumstance.
We do TPWD youth deer hunts every year and I took about 7 game wardens and a few biologists hunting this past winter. After we hunted I did have one of the game wardens tell me that he liked the way I hunted and had a little better outlook on dog hunting.
I thought it was a little odd but didnt think much of it...guess he was one of the bad ones.
