Met a teacher while roading my catchdog with my bicycle and was privileged enough to be asked to give a talk to kids in summer camp about hunting dogs and hog dogs in particular.
After passing a brief screening process for me and Hoss I put together a little script and brought some things I thought the kids would like to see like a cut vest and boar skull.
I feel privileged to be offered an opportunity to do this and I am considering an attempt to organize something to do more outreach.
These kids gave me a such a good feeling about the future, it was a great experience for everyone involved including me:
After my speech and some very thoughtful questions, there wasn’t a single one who thought that hunting hogs with dogs was “cruel” and every single one wanted to interact with Hoss after knowing what he does for a job!
We are blessed to have “traditional” hunting methods protected by the Texas constitution, but without knowledge of our rights they are easily abused or taken away.
We have to educate our citizens, young & old, so that we can not only preserve our rights but expand our ability to practice and pursue these traditional means.
