I've seen it said that you need dogs to reliably get pigs. Is this true? How much of a mission without dogs?

(I warned you I was gonna be asking noob questions...)

Its pretty tuff without dogs hardly see them out & about during the day but its not impossible to target pig,s & shoot them , your best bet would be along the lines of what we used to do , shoot a dozen goats or collect up a bunch of dead ewes (this time of year is perfect for it with plenty of dead over lambing ) drive up the local forest dump them off in two,s in likely spots that no one else will easily find , give it 3 or 4 days & have a look at which one,s have had pigs at or around them , collect a few more dead animals toss them on the plie that's getting visited , gets quite exciting looking at all the different marks around the plies now & then a real big bugger will turn up , we had dogs but there's nothing to stop you doing similar & parking up watching , only other alternative could be a pig trap .
