More food for thought!

Please understand I am not trying to be a jerk here.

This is the part that really confuses me. You are openly admitting that hogs were moved simply for the sport of hog dogging. There is not doubt that is true. Obviously these hogs did NOT stay on those properties and spread to surrounding properties causing lots of damage.

Should the people that moved these hogs be responsible for the damage?

I am always shocked when I hear a hog dogger complain about access when they are admittedly to blame for the problem.


I think you missed a huge part of Jayhooks post and simply read what you wanted to. The 'blame' is shared between landowner's, outfitters, trappers AND recreational hunters.
Do you feel that YOU people who make money off of those people are the only ones who should be allowed to hunt?


No I do not think we should be the only ones allowed to hunt.

Do you think a landowner/farmer has the right to refuse access to anyone he or she doesn't want on their property?

If I were a farmer without a hog on my place and some jackass released hogs in the area just so he could chase them with his dogs, I would not be polite a DAMN bit if said idiot had the courage and stupidity to ask me if he could hunt my property.
