The serious hog hunters down here don't shoot our piney woods rooters; they employ catch dogs along with hounds to grab the hog by the back end or by the snout and hold them. The hunter jumps into the fray and ties the hog's jaws then the legs, sort of hogtied.

The hog is carried off to a pen and fed corn and kitchen scraps for long enough to be judged fit to eat. Then the hog is killed and butchered like any domestic animal...Geo
