Doggers hunt pigs with dogs and knives (or guns, but usually knives). The dogs wear armour made of seat belt material, and lug at the pig's ears, keeping it under control whilst the dogger approaches from behind and slips a knife in behind the front leg. With good dogs, you can hardly miss a pig. The dogs sniff them out wherever they may be. Many of them are nice-enough blokes, but many are not, too. But, nice or not, they clean an area out very easily, and the few remaining pigs become extremely wary and ghosty. We traditional bowhunters (and even compound bowhunters and riflemen) take pride in our stalking ability and finally our marksmanship. The process is as important if not more important than the end result. For a dogger, I imagine the lure is the adrenaline rush of combat with man's traditional best friend. I also suspect that results are more important than process, in many instances, which is, arguably, the opposite to traditional bowhunting.
