Tred Barta is SICK

[Buckskin]

I have no problem with it.  His show is unique in that he does what others won't do on film but some do in reality.  If its legal then there shouldn't even be an issue.  If the anti's have a problem with it, so be it.  They have a problem with almost every aspect of my life and a lot of others here, tough #@*%.  Nature is a hell of a lot more brutal that sticking a hog with a knife.

Every one can't tip toe around wondering who they are going to offend. IF you don't like what you see...... don't look. I think hunting in a game fece is ten times more non-sporting then hunting hogs with dogs. The hogs atleast have a chance to get away.

IF you thought it looked bad when two guys held that hog and one guy stabbed it then you would be shocked to go out on a working ranch and see what goes on. You'll see a baby calf running, then jerked back by the kneck with a rope tied to a horse ten times its size. Then one guy is going to jump off and grab it and throw it on its side; knocking the wind out of it. Then another guy will walk up with a hot branding iron, while another ear tags it, and if it is lucky enough to be a male some one will chop his "man hood" off. That sounds ten times worse to me.

I agree, my friends could not believe there eyes when they would come over when we were casterating and dehorning cattle (usually about 50 in an afternoon). Hold them in a headgate while one guy would sit on its back and hold the tail up,another guy down below - nuts gone.  Then we would cut their horns off. The dogs loved the by-products. Bloody mess, spurting out of their heads and leaking out of their backside. In all of the years we did that, I think we only lost one.

Graybeard,
Many thanks for having a interesting board.  Hope that the new year is good for all and hunters will come together to stand for our rights. 
Will be reading and seeing what goes on.

I don't really care how the hog was killed. You can jump out of tree with a sharp stick for all I care. That's not what I found strange, it was just the fact that it was shown on tv is all. There are a lot of people that make it their goal in life to stop us from doing something we all have a passion for, and a show like this, realistic ( yes I agree his show is more realistic than the canned hunts the other guys put on the air) or not should have at least had a little more thought put into it. Just my opinion is all.

Do we have an icon of the energizer bunny. This thread just keeps going and going and going. It's great!

If there was any doubt how the state of Texas feels about hogs here is a quote from an article on predator control "FERAL HOGS should be controlled by shooting, live trapping, and using dogs whenever possible".

Okay I'm done.

Rocky Mountain Oysters I believe are generally made from sheep nuts, which I'm guessing are one to two bites.  Nuts off of a 400-500lbs bull calf are HUGE, like an emu egg size.  Practically a meal in itself.  We never tried them. 

Off subject, but this one is about done anyway.
