I have seen the previews but not a show yet.
This'n may be better than the other 3 attempts at portraying hog doggin... It won't take much work at all as the 3 others were absolutely sorry renditions of serious hoggers using their skills and minds to put feral hogs in the pen.
As for makin' a barr hog and releasing him, if it is in a place where land owner agrees I may barr a few young little boars.
Not every landowner asks for 100% eradication. Some want population reduction with a maintainable number. If they allow or ask, barrs can be made as they produce the best quality (better than a sow even) meat and more of it.
Fully understood the history behind using dogs in the past. I don't see the need for it these days.
