I never saw where Mez answered you on this one so I fugured I would. In the south it is quite common to hunt hogs with dogs. While a few people will try to shot the hog about 99% of us will catch the hog live (with the dogs help......), tie it up , and carry it out. It is a load of fun. It has its roots in the days when people would free range there stock.

Here are a couple of pics. The hog was caught alive but then stuck with a knife. My cousin was with me and he needed some meat.

Here is one of the man eaters that was used to catch the hog....LOL.
