I do not hunt pigs with a knife over dogs but my old man did and across the years I have known a good few that did. Using dogs in the pursuit of game animals has been something that humans have done for millennia and I admire anyone who perpetuates historical practices. It is also the case that I have seen pig hunters spend fortunes at vets taking care of their dogs. It is not just a doddle up to a pig to stick it, keeping up with the dogs is hard work that requires a high level of fitness and if the pig decides to head into gorse then there is a degree of difficulty attached that most would shy away from.
