Most of the hogs back then were quite a lot different from most in the woods today, both in genetic background and experience with humans. I am not sure it would be possible to drive a group of hogs with a lot of Russian influence, particularly if they had been hunted with rough dogs. I think there may be a few instances of hogs being handled this way today but I think it is very rare.
My dad used to tell me about some old timer who'd ride around on a horse and call in his herd of hogs with a blow horn .. Out by cypress Texas
I always thought that'd been cool to see .. I'm sure that guy could get them in a pen and cull
