I use a taming pen I’ve built on a relatively safe ice floe to tame any north zone creature that can be carried by an argy. What I’ve learned from this is that your taming pen needs to be three walls high or the daeodon can in fact smack you. Take your time between shots and do as much damage as you can. Taming a death pig is a lot easier if they use their healing ability (a red glow) directly before being knocked out. This ability seriously drains their food level, and death pigs eat a lot so this method makes taming them as short a process as possible.
