Around here we rarely take them alive, unless its to train some younger dogs. I say kill him, all of them. Of course my grandfather is a rancher and a farmer, and I work on his place and our hog population is here to stay. Ive seen too much of the destructive side of the hogs. They tear up farm land, and slaughter our turkey population. Doesnt make sense to me to catch a dog killer and turn him loose. I like my dogs too much to loose them on a hog that we have already taken down once. Hog hunters would barr way less hogs if their lives depended on the crops that they raised!!!!!
I have seen farmers quit farming at certain locations because the hogs eat at least half the crops. The fields I am talking about were located next to forrest land that didn't allow any kind of hunting.
Where we hunt if the rancher or farmer found out that we turned the hogs loose we would be kicked out. We do not bar a hog we take them out.
