I've killed two boar in self defense. Onew at less that a yard away. The Wensel Woodsman tipped arrow went in between the spine and the shoulderblade, through the heart and out through the breastbone. He went from a charge/escape from the dogs full out run to a dead stop (pun intended.) He slid into my legs.

When I was backpacking I came in between a sow and her piglets. Needless to say its the only time I was ever chased up a tree. Luckily my pack had a big buckle and I was able to dump it fast.

Biggie: are you saying I should lose weight before going hunting hogs - or gain weight so I look more threatening ??   :confused:    :bigsmyl:

They winded me in my DB Matrix 360 this past week in Menard, TX. Two BIG ones. Saw nothing else while bowhunting.....behind me about 20 yards and to the left, caught them out of my peripheral vision standing there sniffing. I nocked an arrow and they were GONE.

Too Short once told me his dad had his leg broken by a Russian boar. It hit him at full bore (no pun intended) then bore down (couldn't help the pun either) with its choppers. Paul's dad was alot taller than junior. I shutter to think where the boar would have grabbed the dwarf.....
