I see major division here and don't want to step on anyone's feet but I think all forms of hog hunting has it's place and is a crucial means to controlling the hog population. I have trapped, dog hunted, stalked, and night hunted, much of that through hunting with Barry. With the little hog hunting I have had the privilege to do and with an unbiased point of view I believe trapping is the most productive form of hog hunting but I also believe there are hogs that will not enter a trap and they need to be dogged or stalked or night hunted. now from what little I have seen dog hunting would be the least productive means numbers wise, but dogs will get you hogs that you would kill in no other way. Night hunting and stalking is highly dependent on the ability of the hunter to hit moving targets if you can't hit runners you may only kill one pig out of a sounder, if you can hit runners then you may well kill the whole sounder or the vast majority of it so depending on the trigger mans ability stalking or night hunting can be very productive. I didn't post this to ruffle anyone's feathers but I think every form of hunting has it's place in hog control
