i went last year in texas and we used dogs, the dogs got on one and i jumped out the utv and took off into the brush an the hog got loose. 100 yards later i caught up to them and they were in a four foot deep pit. i jumped in with my beyonet and stabbed the hog in the heart and with a good twist it was dead. the hog was 315 lbs. we had a good time and brought home a ton of meat. good trip!
