Splendora Hunt

[TShelly]

We hunted the Splendora tournament this weekend. The team was Van Dorn, Jason Thompson, Cward and Murray. I was just a helper, as my dogs are still wrecked from the Barrs that didn't count a few weeks back. Marshall Mims was also a helper. We tied 18 hogs over the course of the tournament. Hunting was tough, tough. We finally got into them Sunday around 10 am, we tied 9 in the few hours before the weigh in. It was a another bad deal for our team. Chances best gyp Mater took a boar hog across hwy 59, bayed him & got hit coming back across. RIP Mater. She was a damn, damn good dog. It sucks to lose one that good.

We weighed in 1078# on 5 hogs which placed us in 4th. 9#'s out if 3rd place and 90#'s from 1st place. Allen called us the next day and said the 2nd place team actually failed their polygraph but refused to give back their trophies or $$$. So we were bumped up to 3rd. Not many pics from the weekend. But I snapped a few

R.I.P. Mater!!!

These tournaments sure can't be worth all the good dogs y'all have been loosing or getting wrecked...

Especially with someone not playing by the rules and keeping the cash!!

Its been a rough one on good dogs this year.

RIP Mater.

[Jared H.]

Hate to hear that. R.I.P. Mater.

[T-Bob Parker]

Way To go y'all! Really good showing as always!

Mater was one bad bitch and she will be sorely missed!

Never did ask you, but how has RedMan healed up from his weiner injury?

I was part of the 2nd team.  I will make a very strong recommendation to everyone wishing to post on this subject. 

Be very careful stating what you "hear" versus what you know for a fact.  The Pre-circulation of rumors have already engaged lawyers.  If you do not wish to get involved in a civil law suit, I recommend you do not state what you do not know for a fact.

I placed 11th and now im 10th. Ha  better look out!!

[TShelly]

Lol this was from Allen Wells, the man that put the tournament on. He called Chance and told him this. Feel free to look at Allen's post in the tournaments on final results

[TexasHogDogs]

[TexasJ]

There are several things that you have posted that I know are not correct.

Before you state anything else incorrectly.  Give Alan a call and get his story straight.

If you were part of the 2nd team that was disqualified then please feel free to set the story straight on here so we can hear it straight from the horses mouth

heck of a hunt guys

Look guys, this is all gotten out of hand. And it my fault. I let anger and misjudgment get the best of me.

I let the winning team win while getting a ticket for tresspassing. Being that  hind sight is twenty twenty that may have been a bad idea. I did this because I understand that a dog dont know boundaries. And I would have gotten them myself. We can all say they should have call them out but when a dog is possibly getting wrecked im not waiting on anything. The team got a ticket and then got permission to retreive the dogs.  I am sorry if that pisses anyone off but its what I did and would do out for any team. Im just trying to be realistic.  But after all but the placing team left it got prettty heated with mostly one member of a team. By this point I blew up and lost my composure. This member wanted to go 100 percent by the rules as they were written. So thats what I did with them. I had the lie detector person set back up. And drew for names for the test. This time it was 100 percent by the rules. I did this know that I let this team weigh in with half of their team. And how I took it was that since he was wanting 100 percent compliance I gave it to him and notified them that they were disqualified.  But this is not what I wanted by no means. A that point the second place team offered their money back. I refused because this is not what I wanted.

I wanted a realisitc contest. I was fine with them weighing in like they did like I was fin with anyone weighing in like this.

This whole deal is my fault I handled it completely wrong. I understand that.

I sent the second place team in knowing that if we went 100 percent by the rules they coukd not pass. There was not a failure bylby lie. What this person admitted to I told them they could do.  I was just so heated and stressed completely out by the actions of one person. I made a fool out of my self.

I am at 100 percent fault for this dont blame anyone but me. I just want to make clear that I am not doing this for Texas J or any other of his team mates except for Kevin Allen. He is an outstanding guy. A stand up person who is unfaily become the scape goat in this whole matter.. also this is why I am offering to pay for any entry into my tournament next year and have already been on the phone with Tdha to possibly help me next year run this or supervise it. As all of next years proceeds will go to them.

Any questions please call me Allen Wells 832-492-3712

[da.wells]

That is any team that weighed in at my tournament I will pay the entry out of my pocket

Help me understand this post.  If I post that I heard the second place team failed a polygraph, and that I heard TexasJ was a member of the second place team, then I am subject to a civil lawsuit? Or is it if I was to state, as fact, that the second place team failed a poly?  Or does it have to be a more detailed account of what a person has heard? I certainly don't know the details of the events that occurred,  but as an admin of ETHD,  where this discussion is taking place, I'd sure like to know what you perceive as law...


I mean, I can't help but think you are throwing out threats of a lawsuit based on yhis thread, but as a lay person, I can't see where anything out of line has been posted thus far.

I was told they failed it was not gossip it was straight from Allen.  Kyle and Kevin are great guys by all means I was not running them down. It was a simple they failed and it was it. If they did not fail then that is bullchit that someone would knock there integrity like that. It still shows question by question theydid but Allen said it was ok for them to do it. Rules should be set in stone and not changed . Texasj ours information was factful from Allen.

Lawyers involved in a hog hunting tournament, that's ridiculous. And any of us could get a trespassing ticket while hunting. I for one am going to go to my dogs. The ticket they got was'nt their main mistake, telling everybody was the mistake.

Good hunt Tony and I sure am sorry to hear about Mater. It's tough to lose a good one to a car. Tell Jason to tighten up and make a hand.

[justincorbell]

Im so confused........

Good hunt guys.

Sorry to hear about your dog Chance, ive heard enough about your dogs to know that you've got the real deal, sure hate to hear about mater, id hate to loose my number 1 but that a chance you take everytime you drop em. Once again sorry for your loss.

[Danny45]

I myself got a ticket with them n you can have 10,000 acers and drop a dog dead center of it and if it jumps a runner u will be off of it before to long anyone with a real dog knows this and my dogs you can't just call off when there trailing a hog we didn't turn dogs loose on property we weren't suppose to be on we dropped dogs on my lease and they jumped a runner so say we did wrong but I know if u say u don't trespass either ur dogs aren't what I would call a hog dog or your a liar

[TeJaShOgSlAyER]

Good hunt guys! Sucks to lose a good dog like.
