We hunt hogs doing our best to try to eradicate them so that they dont destroy the habitat and what we are trying to do from a management perspective on our deer and turkey. If we get some good hog meat out of it, it is a bonus. To be clear, we pull the trigger on hogs everytime that red dot or crosshair is on meat and we try to kill as many as we can. Some get cleaned and some don't. The answer to your buddy's question is totally dependent on why he is hunting the hogs. Is it to get meat or is it to try to eradicate them or pressure them enough that you move them off your property? IMO you cannot kill hogs off a property with just guns. You have to also trap them and in my opinion run them with dogs and both kill and harass them to the point that they just leave and move onto someone else's place.
