Done a bit of pig hunting in NZ with dogs, seemed to use blue healers a lot and whatever dog they found in the pound [emoji85]🤣
Yes I've been and done the same, any dog with spirit was used, serious job nipping in with the knife to finish.

Shot lots of goats being shuttled by a helicopter but not out of it. Apparently the week before someone shot the skid and the ricochet nearly hit the pilot !!!!

Also this thing re dogs from pounds etc. There are plenty of lads out there putting a serious amount of time and effort into breeding and producing one up pig dogs. They do however use breeds you wouldn’t believe like Great Dane etc which long went out of any working use here
My family have had danes for generations, they were originally boar hounds, and closer in size and shape to mastiffs, then fashion took over... :(

I've seen a YouTube video of a Texas farmer spraying his maize with a JD self propelled sprayer with a gunman on each side of the cab with an AR15 rifle each hosing down the feral pigs as they drive. These are pigs that have escaped captivity and have made a life for themselves in the wild.
