They did it last year. It was kinda cool watching the leader board and looking at the pics through out the day.

I am assuming so. I just watched it online. I was to far away to enter. From what I understand the payout structure last year was just about the same as they are doing this year. They had pics of the first place team with the 10k winnings. I think over a period of 10 days all the teams together collected something like 450+ hogs, with the biggest being somewhat over 400 lbs. It was pretty neat, they had a video of them catching the 400+ lber with dogs. As far as being legal I think anything went, trapping, dogs, rifle, etc. They wanted all them brought in dead. Im sure with that amount of money on the line, there had to been a poly.

They would have to be dead or TAHC would shut them down..
Wonder if any of the meat was saved..doubt it.
