Hog hunting with dogs?

Anyone on here ever do it?
It's the only type of hunting I enjoy and do regularly, but I never really see anyone on here talking about it. Seems like everyone on here just likes to shoot hogs with guns
So for those who take their dogs out and leave all guns at home, how do you do it?
Do y'all drive around or actually run with the dogs the whole time?
Cur dogs only?
Tracking collars & cut vests?
Or just you and man's best friend with no technology?

Done it several times.
Tracking collars and cut vests.
Cur dogs and catch dogs.
Ride on side by sides till the curs bay one. Then chase the catch dogs and kill piggy with a knife.
Primal, intense and fun.
Nothing like seeing those big catch dogs work.

Any reason for not carrying at least a pistol to kill the hog with?
I am not very familiar with hog hunting.

I use to do it more regularly. The guy who had the dogs has downsized. I have no need for them really. I haven't had a population worth hunting with dogs in 5-6 years. He had pit mixes & Bulldogs that people have away. A good trained dog won't go after anything besides a hog because that's all they know to hunt. When they get into the small pigs they'll break the necks & keep hunting looking for other hogs. It's actually quite interesting to watch them work. You get a bunch of untrained dogs & they will start running deer. I let a guy (I knew he had shitty dogs) run his dogs 1 time and they started running does through the swamp. I was nice about it but he has never hunted again.

We used to do it all the time at our place, it was a kick in the arse. Had them running alongside the truck until you heard them bay one, then you let go the pitbull to grab ahold of them. Someone went in and grabbed the back legs and someone else would stick a knife behind their shoulder.
Unfortunately one of the few times my pops went out with us one of the dogs pushed a nice buck across the road and was hot on his trail. He put an end to it after that.

Love it. It's a different kind of adrenaline rush then any other kind of hunting. You run in a thicket when you hear a bay not knowing if it'll be a 70 pound sow or a 300 pound boar! Then you go grab those big, nasty, bastards only trusting the pitbulls to hold them and keep you from getting cut.

We use dogs with some sort of hound in them so they'll run better where we are the hogs will cover some ground. It's usually catahoulas mixed with plot or walker as bay dogs, no vest for them. They have tracking collars on and we usually stay in the ranger with the bulldogs, but try and stay semi close. The 2 pits both have vest on.

They guys I go with use Plot Hounds, Black Mouth Curs as bay dogs and Pits or Dogos as catch. We do relocate some but only to pens or places where hog hunts are sold.
