Discovery Channel This Sunday

[Cutter Bay Kennels]

For those of you who are not quick to judge someone you know nothing about here is this.  No i am not a one-out hunter, but my experiences with Josh have been such.  I have been bay dog hunting (maybe not owning dogs but hunting) for 14 years.  I recently moved to bigger faster dogs that do still bay on when need be, and a lot due to Josh.  I invited him to hunt my thick country and he rose to the challenge and caught 5 pigs with one dog in less then an hour, and no not by site hunting.  He quickly shut me up on judging his style.  The real reason i had to post is becuase for you younger guys or guys who don't think there God's gift to hog dogging and only been doing it for a few years you should know his character.  No were not best friends but we do talk every once and awhile.  I once had a dog on a saturday night get gutted and die on my twice, could not find a vet anywhere.  I called him and he didn't even question it and got in his car at 2am and drove nearly 2 hours and saved my dogs life.  On a second occassion my friend whom Josh does not get along with had his best cur get cut in jug vein.  Again he didn't even blink an eye when we couldn't get a dang vet to answer the phone.  He drove the same amount and saved a "bay" dogs life for someone he doesn't even like.  So before any of you begin to judge, don't ever judge a book by its cover.  Half the stuff written in that article was so twisted to what really came out of his mouth its not even funny, but some of you are too blind to see that.  Judge his hunting style but don't judge character or the fact that he is in it for just himself.  I can gaurantee most of you dogging him would never drive that far at that time in the morning to save someones dog you don't even like.  That is true facts.  do i care for his type of hunting not really, but i will take him to a fight before most others.  You can't dog someone for just being passassionate about a way they hunt.  yes sometime i think he struggles with how he types stuff on forums but how it comes out i promise you he means well.

Mat,

Thank you for posting this valuable info.  I think we can all relate to posting stuff that comes across as wrong to the general public.

There may be a few that judge him and his style, but i think the main thing that ruffled feathers was the fact that he put down the way alot of others hunt. I dont see any reason to go into detail about it, because its all there in the article for everyone to see.

And what gets me is that if you say that what the article says is so twisted from what was actually said , why would he allow them to " twist " it a second time?    I would think that if they did screw up his words enough to make is seem like he was against pack hunting and make the hog dogging community look down on him, he wouldnt take the chance of letting it happen a second time.   

Hopefully this time around will go better for him than the last. Because whatever they decide to show, good or bad, will be shining the light on ALL of us hog doggers. And in the end, its not going to be how we hog doggers see it, it will be how the outside world see it. IMO  All i can say now is GOOD LUCK!

the ad that was posted by "sp" was not written by him nor his wife, it was written by either discovery channel or a reporter.  Once you go public with Discovery Channel your in there hands.  Josh or anyone filmed can't say anything without there permission.  The lady the wrote the first article called Josh again and tried to write another article in which he turned down, becuase she made him out to be that bad person.  Im really not trying to take his side becuase Josh will be the first to tell you we disagree on a lot, but i just wanted it to be known that what seems to come out in spot light isn't always it.  I hope the show goes well.  I think a lot of people can attest though to the fact that a lot of things you say when being filmed for T.V. is not something that would really come out of your mouth.  i think a lot of this rides on Discovery Channels ability to keep it right, and not put all of us in danger.  When you sign on the dotted line like i am sure Josh did and the same with them guys on the crab hunter show that nearly got sued you don't have a say in how things are put out there.  I think there was a thread back sometime about putting this on tv and it is risky and yes all we can do is hope that L3outdoor and discovery channel do the best they can to keep it clean and positive.  WE SHALL SEE.  heck i might be finding myself a hole to hide in after the show.

O.K. so maybe i was a little quick to judge, but that article did have his name and logo on it. I did go to the web sight and didnt see anything like what was in the article.

From some of the above post, seems like he might be a great guy.  I have no problem at all with a man passionate about his style, or type of hunting, and cant blame him for promoting his style and/or company.

If it works for you, great, it dont matter if your runnin german shepards, if you enjoy it and it works for you, I say more power to you.  I am for any and all means or methods of hunting with dogs,

Now, the way i took the article was, they were trying to eliminate, everyone that hunted more than one dog, and that josh was the only person that knew anything about catchin hogs. 

Well, guess what im tryin to say, I might have stuck my nose in a little too far, too fast, and if i was wrong, I apoligize. 

Hope it all works out for the best.

Tnhillbilly, no apoligy needed, here i my deal.  maybe i am naive in that i trust and like everyone until they do something wrong to me.  I can't tell you how many times i have invited someone to hunt with me and then they try and take my place out from under me, its funny bc it won't happen, but if someone wants to talk about there character boy i'm right there with you.  We all can judge a style of hunting.  Open to close, lose to rough, one dog to many dogs, we all try and plead our case as to what is best and there is nothing wrong with that.  Some people are better with words then others and Josh is one that is not, and if he could post on her i am pretty sure he would agree with me.  What bothers me is when people judge someone's personal character when they have never even spoke to the guy or come in contact with him once in there life.  i would have posted this for anyone not just Josh.

Josh is welcome to post on here, actually would be nice to hear what he says about it all

That old thread rubbed me wrong as a hog hunter but Im going to give these folks the benefit of the doubt and hope that they do a good job with our sport in the public eye.
I have never been down on one out hunters. I hope they keep it looking good for the rest of us. I'll be watching closely.

[Purebreedcolt]

Lol jesse that is funny

[tnhillbilly]

Here is my deal,  I was already a little ill from a totaly unrelated matter when i read the article. Somehow i missed the first go around, but cought up on all of it last night. 

Now, had i known this horse had already been beatin to DEATH, I never would have said a word.  But not knowing all the FACTS, i should have probly kept my mouth shut anyway.

Now having said all of that, I will say again one last time, what has already been said more than once, which for some reason, cant be understood by a few, 
It didnt have NOT ONE SINGLE THING, to do with his. style, promotion, whatever.   It was all about,  humane, cant take care of there dogs, their dogs are gonna cross fences, frenzy.  just plain trash talkin people that use packs.  PERIOD!!!

Now he may be the nicest, friendliest, stand up guy in the world, but if he endorses statements like that, or even if they were taken out of context, twisted or whatever,  at least be man enough to explain, "hey, i didnt say that crap"     

[jesse]
