Hogs as individuals and as groups will all have different personalities. Sometimes you can shoot one, let them scatter and regroup and they will come back. Sometimes you take one shot at them and they scatter and regroup but don't come back for two weeks. Hogs that apparently have not been hunted before tend to scatter less and sometimes you can pick off multiple individuals before they move away too far. Using a suppressor helps because you aren't making nearly as much scary loud noise, but even with suppressor, sometimes they run away and don't come back. Slow fire with a suppressor is a whole lot less frightening than rapid fire unsuppressed and can be more productive than shooting a lot, and it can be less productive. It just depends on how the hogs react.
