Just a heads up too, we usually hunt 3-4 times a month and killed over 200+ pigs last year.
These animals are considered nuisance animals and they bread faster than we can control the population in Florida.
How did I know it was going to be you that was going to say this? I was just waiting for it!
I didn't mean to go all PETA or anything. I have no illusions about from where some of my food comes. I was curious and I find it interesting that the answers to my question were so varied.
It is certainly a primal way to hunt, with the odds stacked as evenly as possible. Make no mistake, the pigs can and do win sometimes.
My personal opinions aside, this thread provided a little education as perhaps it was intended.
Sorry if I derailed the thread.
No worries, dude.

TacCommE21, I didn't take it any way other than a question concerning a form of hunting, glad you asked and in know way a thread derail.
I don't want other hunters to thank I hunt this way because I am some blood thirsty Rambo wannabe, it's the complete opposite. I enjoy it the most because I get to experience a form of nature that is very far removed from modern life. Plus watching the dogs work and the enjoyment they get from the hunt is more rewarding than the actual kill.
Most of the time the newest hunters are the ones doing the knife work and I control the dogs or the pig.
I really want to do this someday.....
There was a group right across the state line in North Carolina, that offered this about 20 years ago. The dogs they used were Plott hounds mixed with bulldogs, and they were very good at their job. He had a contract that if the dogs anchored the pig and you got cold feet- you ponied up any vet bills for your cowardice...I thought that was awesome.
Pigs were scarce back then, and his business didn't last. Now the Smoky Mts are being ruined by them...
OP- this is true hunting in my opinion...when you put your own flesh and blood on the line, not to mention your dogs, its hard to be more sporting than that.
