I've been hog hunting for over ten years on my own now and can count on both hands how many hogs I've stuck with a knife, over. 90% of the hogs we catch are released unless we're hunting a spot where they are staring to become a nuisance then we'll bring them out and put them in my 6 acre pen or my buddy's ten acre pen to mess with pups, we don't allow more than 3 dogs at a time in there and if a hogs gets a lil tore up I let it out behind my house where we'll catch it again in a few months, if we catch a boar we'll cut him and put somebody's mark out of our group on him I don't care if he is a dog killer or not it's the just the way I was raised and taught, we keep everybody's freezer full of ground meat sausage and pork chops and NEVER kill what we don't intend to eat
Goose87 you can hunt with me in my spots anytime you want. Its none of my business what others do in their areas but IMO that's the way it should been done everywhere. JMO
