I know a few guys that go both ways. My uncle does and his dogs are very good at both. His Catahoulas have a hell of a handle. He can send them off of cows to go hunt if he sees some hogs or fresh sign.. Most I know just run e collars when they go hunting and one little buzz off the first set of cows usually puts hogs on the dogs mind.

I let all my pups run loose and let them start themselves on cattle when they feel comfortable, some
Folks may disagree but I think cows are more intimidating for pups than a hog is because of they're size, I believe it builds confidence, I can get a pretty good idea about what a pup is going to be like by watching him on cows for the first year of his life, once I make the decision whether they are going to be hog dogs or not I'll then break them off of cattle and strictly run them on hogs.

Like Mr. Larry said, having a good handle on your dogs is the key.

I've seen people who use different collars at different times so the dog learns to associate a certain collar with a certain activity and responds accordingly.
