I dont think you can effectively manage hogs using dogs. I doubt there is any true data to back this up....just my opinion.
Hogs are not deer. You can kill everyone you catch and still probably not ever notice a difference. Running dogs may cause them to change their feed pattern and temporarily relocate areas. I dont know if the combination of dogging, trapping, shooting or using a helicopter can even effectively reduce the numbers. They reproduce too fast and adapt too quck.
And unless you have a very large area to hunt....you more than likely cannot do anything. Barr the boars and hope they will grow and hang around the area for the deer hunters to shoot as trophies. I was told by a TPWD biologists that hogs may travel 10 miles in 24 hours to feed.
My two cents
