[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1828778, member: 40587"] Not in the south. People who hunt with dogs do one of two things. Some people are "pig stickers". The catch dogs hold them, and you run up and "stick" them with a very large knife or short spear. Not for the faint of heart...you gotta have a lot of guts and catch dogs you can trust. The most popular are American bulldog/pit bull crosses. Scott has a Cane Corso and a Doggo Argentino he uses. The other dog hunters catch them and either pen them at home and feed them out for a while, or just kill and butcher them when they catch them. If the hogs have been eating your corn, beans or peanuts, they taste ok without feeding them out. When I was in college, I became obsessed with hog hunting, We did it at night, with no dogs. The University of Ga Ag Dept had thousands of acres of crops, We'd find trails where they were entering the fields, and stake out each one, then send someone in to make a racket so they'd run out.
