Yep. Alot of ranchers would still like to just have people come get them, but some have taken up selling hunts for them. One place in west Texas sells "primative" hunts with dogs. You are only allowed to use a bow (not a compound) a spear, or a knife. They have a guide standing by with a 45-70 levergun just in case. The dogs "pin" the hog and you go in for the kill. I think people are nuts. NO WAY would I go for that malarky, but apparently they are booked up for months in advance.

Sheesh

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
