Wild Boar Charges Hunter

I think it was that way when he was "charging"? Maybe that's why it was so slow?

Good point.

I am thinking that was the first shot from the HP rifle at 200 yards.

Those big hogs are like that. Had that happen before - not getting charged, but when they just keep taking lead. You would never think a magazine might not be enough until you'd had to use one. It still blows my mind. Needless to say that ones gonna be a bitch to clean.

My son's and I have hunted hogs at night with bows for many years. I cant begin to tell you how many times we have taken charges through the years. Once we even walked up on 30 or more bedding in the middle of the day and took charges one after another for about 20 minutes or so. I once wrote about it. Have to see if I can find the story.

Edit: This was it in 08.
My son and I went scouting for hog and turkey yesterday afternoon. After a few hours of scouting in waist high grass, we heard a shit load of squealing. I don't mean squealing at a distance. I'm talking about squealing right in front of us. We looked at each other and said, "Holy shit." I kept saying, "Do you see them, do you see them?" All you could see was the tall grass parting coming straight at us. There would be a loud snort and then parting of the grass as one would charge us. It would stop at about 10 feet or closer. I kept my bow pulled, just waiting for it to come out, but it would stop and then there would be another at one side or the other. My son climbed up a tree a few feet and said, "Holy shit dad, They are everywhere." There were piglets running wild as the boors and sows surrounded us. Loud snorts and charges went on for what seemed like a half hour or so, but you couldn't see them but for short occasions. I would get a aim on one, and then they would duck back off into the grass.

We took a few pics of the area, and believe me...Even though you see no hogs, they were all around us. They were all around us from 30/40 yards to 10 feet and closer.
What a freakin rush.

The most hogs I've ever come face to face with was about 10, and they all ran from me. What I hate is they sometimes scatter and then a few will double back and plow you down. The last one I shot was a point blank shotgun hit (the one I posted that picture of). Bow hunting always makes me a little nervous, I rarely see a drop, and I'm not a big fan of tracking them down through brush for a few hours. How far do you usually have to track them after you hit them?

Wow...it really varies. Usually within 50 yards. They will usually hide pretty close. Even then it taks sometimes hours to find them. We have tracked them at night and sometimes we hear them moving around. Thats when its scary. You just never know when you are gonna walk up on the wounded hog. In fact, I walked up on one a few years ago about 10 feet from me and didnt realize it till I heard him gasp. Glad he was almost dead.

I don't see why he couldn't nail him in the heart once he was on the ground. That guy couldn't shoot for shit.

Ear shot is what you want.

That guy is amazingly stable with the camera in a panic situation.

It looked to be a barred pig too which typically calms them down.

Didnt even notice that till you said it. I have heard of people doing that. Catching them and then cutting them, then letting them back out to get bigger.

They grow really big tusk and they arent very aggressive after they are cut. I know some ranches that do it to sell "Trophy Hogs"

What's a barred pig?

What's a barred pig?

Basically a boar that has had his nuts cut.
