Zee -- the photos are priceless! Thanks for posting those!

I have had a couple of aggressive encounters with wild hogs, one in North Carolina and once in Florida, while serving as an editor of the now defunct Boar Hunter magazine (at that point in my life I was hunting them very frequently). In both cases the hogs were wounded. A friend got cut up pretty well by a wounded boar in Florida a couple of years ago and it wasn't a bluff charge and in fact after opening his leg up, it pinned him against a tree trying to work him over even more. My buddy fought the hog off with his left hand while trying to bring his drilling into play with his right. A face full of bird shot at powder burn range ended the ordeal. I have friends who breed and hunt bear dogs who no longer run them on wild hogs in the off season because they tend to get hurt too often. A mature boar is equipped to do damage if he so chooses. Again, hunt 'em enough and you are bound to have an encounter at some point.
