Thank you have wanted to ask this for a while but didnt want to start a fight. How honest are the contests  know some guts are but have heard storys about the winners hogs ears not torn at all heck we get to them quick and ears sometimes are still riped some.  Just asking because this is a big reason I wont enter contests.

Purebreed,

     This is the first year that I have ever heard of someone failing a polygraph at a hog hunt.  Much less two failed poly's in as many weeks.

  I don't care how much money or "fame" is on the line, it's not worth the loss of one's integrity.  At least it's not to me.

The real bummer in all of this, is that the poly was instituted to confirm that the winners competed within the confines of the tournament rules. This year we have learned that one can break the rules, fail a poly, threaten legal action, and still "win" the tournament.

How is this going to affect participation in future hog hunting tournaments???

I don't know much about tournaments but I thought that lie detector results were instant. If someone truly failed a test how would they even get the prizes money to start with?

[cantexduck]

Not just poly being failed. Rules being broken and still getting a check. Don't miss the forest just to see the tree.

  I think the people running the contest need to step up. They are letting this happen , not the bad acts but letting people walk with the money and prizes. You can't say here is the check but you cheated. Man up.

x2  step up 

[Purebreedcolt]

Guess I should have said the contests im talking about are small local contests10 to 20entrees no polys

X2 Chris.

A friend made tourny hunt a while back and the winners were local boys, with a 450# ish spread between them and sec place. The spread between 2nd and 5th was less than 50#. Made me wonder about the validity of the poly, the integrity of the tourny ruler, the judges and the team that won. It sounded fishy to me, but i wasnt there and its hear say, but the man has nvr given me any reason to disbelieve him on anything, he is just an old timer with values.

Anyone have details on failed polly

All this and more is why I have no intrest in the contest .  Am not going to run myself into the ground and also run my dogs into the ground for two three straight days and in the end only have to wonder what in the hell is going on .  Good dogs get killed , cut from being exhausted when otherwise it might not have happened .  All for bragging rights na just not for me till they can figure out a way to make it all right .

My bulldogs will stay caught for a while with little or no damage done to the ears if I have a bulldog tearing ears off I will cull because if your bulldog tears a ear off every time you can only catch a hog twice before he has no ears

[Purebreedcolt]

Lol guess your bulldpg has no k9s left and hogs just stand still once caught

[BA-IV]

Why haven't the results been posted?

Still not sure how they want to handle the failed polygraph tests?  Is everyone waiting for it to blow over, I mean come on, it's not a hard decision, put the friendships, money, and politics aside and do right by the people who played fair and square!

[halfbreed]

I think you might be getting confused on what they are talking about , if a dog catches hog you can see he had been caught even if it does not tear the ear up , you can see the hog had had his ear caught or bit ,
There been a few hogs at tourneys that had no such sign of this , mayb there catch dogs caught somewhere eles who knows ,

[Purebreedcolt]

Swamp you maybe right and I see a hog or 2 in a string but not a whole trailer load

You took the words right out of my mouth.....I have never had the desire to run myself and dogs into the ground over a weekend just for notoriety.
