Both ways seem to have their dangers, the only difference is that shooting the hog means that you end up with a dead hog. I would rather catch and tie because there isn't always time to deal with a hog carcass. We always bring a gun just in case its needed, for instance... we had to shoot a hog one time when our catch dog overheated. We didn't want to waste precious time tieing it while our dog needed to get to water. To each his own.
