Questions for bully & APBTA 'type' owners

LMAO!!!!!! Agreed 100%.

:rofl1: SEE? We can agree on something!

If hogs start overrunning pasturelands and farms, where are people going to get food? Keeping the menace of destructive hogs at bay is very important to anyone who lives in the USA and eats food that's produced here.

Eat the hogs? <--- sarcasm face!

LMAO @ eat the hogs.

Pork is gross. Just sayin'

That is totally my only contribution to this thread.

This.

Truth.

What about bacon? Bacon is heaven!

Yeah, that.

I will say, I watch all of the hog hunting shows on TV. I think it's pretty neat to watch the dogs work. But I find myself saying all.the.time.. "Why don't they just sit out with a rifle and shoot them?" or, "Why don't they just set a big trap and catch 20 at a time and be done with it?"

Jenny-O turkey bacon is better. All the awesome flavor without that creepy, fatty texture.

Hmm.. I'll have to try it. Anything with "bacon" in the name gets my attention.

Supposedly they are super creatures that cannot be shot. They are like the Chuck Norris of animals. Nevermind that there are guns that kill elephants. You need to hunt them with dogs, knives, and testosterone. It's the American way.

:rofl1: That literally made me LOL. Perfect!

Actually, there are people who hunt hogs with rifles. They find a clearing, they dump a bunch of feed out, and they go sit hunkered down in a blind to get ready to start picking off some hogs. That's really playing fair, isn't it?

No one said hogs can't be shot, but an elephant a much easier target considering its size, speed (or lack thereof, and the fact it lives on savannahs. And no one in their right mind is going to break out a rifle to shoot a hog with dogs, and other people, in such close quarters.

But if you are not a hunter, then I suppose you won't ever get it. It's not about chugging a 6- pack and watching 10 dogs kill Wilbur, from Charlotte's Web, while we sit back and laugh before smearing ourselves with blood and engaging in Neanderthal-style chest thumping.

But I suppose the dog fighting argument has been won, so now it's time to take the next step and go after hunting with dogs, so that, too, can be banned. All for the breed's sake, of course.

No one is saying anything against hunting, except that dogs are not necessary to hunt. You can hunt, and hunt well, and fairly, alone. Even against hogs.

Also, exceptions will be made for Bacon. As always.

If we're hunting for pest control do we really need to play fair?

Actually it's another common misnomer but I'll give you that no one said that in this thread thus far.

Why are there dogs around if we're considering the alternative of strictly gun hunting?

I don't think it is but damned if you don't have a lot of hog hunters who embody that. Sadly people will put anything on youtube today.

I have no interest in banning hog hunting, I don't see the sport in it exactly but I realize it can have its place in pest control.

It's not necessary, no, not at all, but it is indeed a valuable and effective way of hunting hogs, and that much cannot be denied. But I guess if you think dogs are only good for snuggling up on the couch and winning ribbons then fine, you're right, we don't need working dogs in America... let them go extinct, don't ruin them by turning them into nothing but showdogs and pets.

And return of the Ribbons are so easy to achieve and sporting dogs are a lesser dog to a "working" dog.

From someone with how many titles and accomplishments?

It gets very old.

Lets be honest, there is a lot more that goes into sporting than you have any idea of.

Validity of hog dogs was just stated as "unless you're a pack hunter..." In the "from the outside looking in your can't understand it, from the inside looking out you can't explain it" mantra, so lets take a step back from demeaning sporting dogs.
