The Most Dangerous Game To Hunt:

***snip***

Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)

Experienced hunters say that wild boar can be even more dangerous to hunt than a bear. Equipped with thick, razor-sharp tusks, and a razor-sharp mind (hogs are the 4th most intelligent animal in the world) a wild boar can weigh a staggering 660 lbs and exhibit extremely aggressive and unpredictable behaviour.

Hunters be warned! After wounding a boar, give the animal plenty of time before you follow it in to the bush. Otherwise, you’ll go from being the hunter to the hunted. Boars will circle a human adversary, charge rampantly and attack from behind.

A survival tip: Pick your tree ahead of time so you can climb out of harm’s way if ever you’re being chased.

I'm not a hunter but I have friends who are. One told me that he was out in the woods hunting squirrel as a teenager and saw a wild boar. He decided to shoot it with his .22 caliber rifle. He ended up in a tree for a hour or so with one very pissed off hog underneath. Of course he dropped his rifle when he climbed the tree.

That's why some of the hunters I know have a .357 magnum or .44 magnum revolver in a holster on their belt when they hunt hog.

AR-15s with high capacity magazines are legally used to hunt hog in Florida. They are considered a pest as they are not native and do considerable damage to the environment. Extremely brave hunters hunt hogs with spears or knives and dogs.

In passing hog meat can be very tasty if prepared properly.
