Safer or the same -- catching and shooting over a bay?

I've taken many hogs using both methods and had just as many dogs cut by one way as the other. But on another note I won't let but a select few peole shoot over my dogs just because a lot of people get way to excited and get tunnel vision and then that's when bad things happen. I've seen it happen and there is nothing worse than seeing a good dog shot just because someone has lost all sanity and forgot about their surrondings. I prefer to catch and tie but now that hogs are not bringing anything I have been just taking two to three dogs and shooting the hogs but I am confident in my shooting ability and I also know my dogs so I get along real good that way. Good topic
