I agree that trapping produces the most numbers in high populations! I have never argued that point.
But, not all trappers are equal AND after a certain amount of time and exposure, it takes adaptation to produce results. Then, as said, there are some old, smart hogs of both sexes that just will NOT enter a trap.
I think that in ag areas, or areas with a lot of open ground, that shooting with night vision is pretty productive. And, yes, I have done it myself! Heck, it is fun!!!
But, most all of my buddies that dog hunt catch 100 + hogs per year. And, some catch WAY more than that!!!! I am barely over the 100 mark this year. But, it is due primarily to losing 4 of my best dogs AND the lost time due to extended deer season and high water in Feb and early Mar. I normally always exceed 200. And that is about 'normal' for all the guys that I consider friends and hunt with. So, I don't think I would declare hog-dogging as innefective....especially when compared to daytime shooting OR even night shooting in heavily wooded areas.
I agree that they all have their place.
