Take the axanthics. I was told about one that was found in 07. Several folks looked for more since that time. taking hundreds of poor(normal) hogs, hoping for a recessive. I was told of the general area. within a year and a half, I found 7. and what I am most happy about, I found one in the field hiking. how did I do it. As nice and as good of field herpers those folks were, I did not listen to them or approach it in the way they did. I studied the hogs and worked it. I did not hunt like they did or at the times they did, or use the methods they did. I watched hognose and let them tell me. And they did. Please understand, it was not about axanthics. They were only motivation to study hogs and hogs are very different and interesting, compared to many other species in the field. Did I pea off those friends, of course. Folks do not like others to be successful. Just look at all the haters of Lebron James. That's life, when you show some talent, there are a few that help you develop, and many that want to hinder and the rest do both. This place is no different then anywhere else.
