I was brought up to turn sows loose, Barr the boars, & only kill what you will eat.   Unfortunately that won't work anymore in my area.  We have such an overpopulation of hogs that it makes it harder to hunt.  If a hog breaks and runs a mile any direction chances are good the will run threw another group and break the dogs off.   It used to be only the boars that seemed to do this, now a sow or shoat will.   It has gotten hard to run down a runner, when it may be a different hog every mile, it's like they are relaying the dogs.    I wish we only had 20% of the hogs we have now!   It would also decrease the number of hunters.  Too many poachers ruin it for all.
