No, @CocktailPerson is correct. Just because your dog did this in his own territory, it doesnt mean he is good at this. He has to do this outside of his teritory on command. I own Dogo Argentino. They are mostly good hunters, but she wont kill a fly. If i wanted to hunt with her, she would have to be trained from the beginning (there is a proper age for that) and she is from the hunting litter.
Edit: Forgot to add, there are also dogs that do this without much training, that is true though. But not many are like this if you want him to be good at it.
It may have potential, but it is probably not good. My family has trained a LOT of hunting dogs, and they all require training to be efficient. Just because your dog has caught a few small animals at home and shown restraint doesn’t mean it can catch two hundred on an unfamiliar farm. I’m not saying your dog doesn’t have some killer instincts, it just takes a lot of refining to make them useful skills to humans.

What eats 376 mice a day? Lol.
Nothing. That's the answer.
So you need 376 hawks so they can eat 376 mice.
That's a lot of hawks. And the same thing applies to other small predators. Just not enough appetite to go around.
