Randy Bumpers Hunt!!

[T-Bob Parker]

Well I hope to put a team together this year finally and my goal for this coming tournament season is to place in at least one tourney. It's not a huge goal, but it'd be a big deal to me and my ol potlickers. Best of luck to all

I dont necessarily agree with the four hunters only touching the hogs and dogs, because sometimes it is in the best intrest of the dog and hogs welfare for the first one there to catch the hog, even if it is a helper.  I do think that there should be a limit of four or five helpers to make it a fun hunt that they can participate in as well,  and I believe if there are changes that it will be that, not the four hunters only because I personally like to have a younger more fit helper with me that can help me pull my weight because I am starting to fall apart with every passing year.  My knee is still messed up from the Cutter Creek Tournament and I liked to had a heat stroke during the day on Saturday.  Im sure there was some other talk right after, always is no matter how a tournament is run.  Nonetheless it will be better than last year and still the biggest and best dog tournament in the world.  Once again great Job, and I hope to shake some hands next year.

I agree with you, it's tough on some of the older more broken down hunters to have to catch every hog. We look forward to it every year, and hope do it to continue in the right direction. It was good that the hosts didn't win their own tournament for the 3rd year in a row. I like the sound of this new lie detector man. Just him alone should silence any critics. It's all in good fun. There were always be bickering and competitive banter in any sport. The main thing is to continue to promote a positive sport and fun filled, tournament weekend

Looking forward to meeting you as well Joey!!

Hell I just hope I get to hunt it, I start the real world when I graduate in December. My hog dogging may take a serious back seat for a while. We'll see

You are so right about promoting the sport in a positive manner, as for Cole and them hosting the tournament and participating I wouldn't hunt if he didn't because I want to beat him myself in his own backyard. Now for the real world business, I'm sure you can handle it. I had triplets a year ago and I hunted it with a wife and 6 kids at the house. A career is priority, but hog hunting is a necessity so I can deal with the real world! If I can get loose from the wife and kids I'm sure you can get off for a weekend. Haha Congrats on finishing school, education is the only thing that can never be taken away from you.
