Do you think the hogs might be more agressive because the dogs are involved?

I am a complete novice at hog hunting, only been one time. But the situation we were in - no dogs, just guys with guns - the pigs were just scrambling like mad to get out of dodge. I said before, it was like a quail hunt, walk up to the bushes and kick around and then all heck would break loose as hogs went everywhere.

Other factor for us was there were no BIG hogs, biggest was 150, rest were around 80 lbs.
That's been my experience for the most part, even with bigger hogs and sows with piglets.

I've even used my dog to catch piglets and make them squeal in hopes the sow will show back up so I can take her out. Most of them never look back and just keep hauling ham.

I guess the one difference is the hogs I'm after aren't trapped. They are free to run until the bullet hits. With dogs surrounding them, they probably feel cornered.
