cardeer,

How would you get close enough to stick him. I grew up hunting wild hogs and the only way I know of, is to catch the hogs with dogs first, which we have done and then stick the hog in a jugular vien in the neck. However, you and the dogs ( and hopefully) a buddy, better be sure you can hold the hog down long enough to do this. The best way to get the hog on the ground is, while the dogs have his attention on the front end, you come in from the back and snatch his back legs out from under him. I might add, that when you do this, don't let go because I have seen big boars cut dogs wide open to the point their entrails fall out on the ground and have seen men with their legs cut and taking 20 or 30 stitches and sometimes more.

The young folks around here today are carrying handcuffs and they cuff the back legs and a pair for the front legs if they are not going to kill the hog. In the old days we just used copper wire to tie the legs because it was quick and easy to wrap the legs and to take off.

Biggest point I can make, is be extremely careful.
