My home state of Tennessee actually outlawed hog hunting in the traditional sense and created a statewide hog eradication program. Turns out some [redacted] were trapping hogs from infested areas then transporting them to their properties to start their own populations to hunt. What the TWRA did was eliminate the year round season. Now, landowners, as well as a list of up to designated individuals of their choosing, are the only ones allowed to kill hogs. In order to do so, they must report how many hogs are killed and by what method. They can also obtain an exemption to use normally illegal methods, such as baiting, year-round trapping, or hunting at night with night vision equipment. I don't think you can use dogs to chase them, though. Additionally, WMAs usually allow hogs to be taken incidentally during big game seasons, but they have their own rules regarding killing wild hogs otherwise.
