Thats always the issue when hunting on horses, since I try and get all mine out alive. When it rained so much this past winter we hunted some on horseback, spent a lot of time dragging hogs out when we could have been catching more on a 4 wheeler. Also, if youve got some dogs that'll go hunt and stay with a hog, it's a hassle to have to try and keep up. JMO. Its fun, but not the most practical way to hunt, for me anyway.
Yeah sometimes its not to practical for me either depending on the place but I find it easier to keep up with the dogs on a horse or a mule than a wheeler in big country. Getting a good jumping mule over a fence doesn’t take any longer than leading a catch dog under one. Jumping fences on ATV’s can get a little tricky.

. I sure like having the option for both and feel blessed to have that option.
