[QUOTE="RWS, post: 1454782, member: 12891"] the show is a joke, and portrays dog hunters very poorly. i dont know if it is due to crappy editing, or if those guys are that clueless, but it is NOT a fair representation of hog hunting with dogs. if those guys and their dogs arent any better than they make them out to be, then they picked some poor people to make a show about. i know many hog hunters who take literally HUNDREDS of hogs each year with dogs. yes trapping is effective, and yes shooting them is effective, but it doesnt take them long to smarten up to that. using dogs allows you to catch the ones to smart to get trapped or stand around and get shot. most hunters have strike dogs that will find the hogs, wherever they are, not just the ones that stand out in the open while you shine a spotlight on them. and most use more or at least better catch dogs, so that the hogs are more restrained when you get there. not all the drama that you see on the show. catching hogs with dogs is dangerous to hunters and dogs, and it may not be pretty, but dog hunters are probably removing more hogs than everyone else combined. so if you agree that hogs are detrimental to the native wildlife, habitat, crops, etc., you should give credit the people who hunt with dogs.
