we have the hog/dog hunts going on now where i work...thereare issues with the dogs running onto the private properties...dogs have been shot, hunters that have gone after the dogs have been arrested, it's never ending seems like....we can contactall of the surroundinglandowners, all they have to do is let us know the dogs are over there, i dont blame the dogs at all...it's what they do....i see both sides of this issue.....used to be, you couldnt reason with me about dog huntin', just thought it was cruel(for the dogs) so i had to see whats it was all about, watching those dogs workin' is something few get to see, makes ya all warm and fuzzy inside, lol.... the dogs live for it.....just hearin' themget to the hog and that hog squeals and then you see them on it,it's like no other feelin'......it's amazing....you should really try it.....might not change the fact that one time or another a dog is going to screw ya up...but to not experiencehuntinghog with dogswould be a shame.
