On average most folks around here catch 3-4 aweek and some alot more...so say 15 a month, times 9 months of dog huntin(excluding deer season) that's 135 hogs a year(average) some more some less. I know alot of deer hunters and deer hunt myself, and I know nobody that has killed 135 hogs with a gun or bow in a single year. As far as the actual question goes dog hunters get more than gun hunters... I don't consider shooting them out of helicopters or trapping them as (gun hunting) so can't include those figures... I've seen 100+ hogs slaughtered out of a helicopter in 3hrs... It's effective and necessary in some farm regions even tho I think it's a waste. And at one time I was trapping and removing 40+ hogs a week from the same farms, mass eradication attempts are not (gun hunting) far as I'm concerned but if they are included as methods in this figure then by far more are taken that way than by dogs. But the question of dog hunters vs gun hunters on a sporting level, dog huntin beats them hands down no doubt
