I have been charged! It wasa boar that was gut shut and was laying there waiting to die. I walked to him and he got the boost to turn his body, chopping his teeth and ran towards me. I do agree that a hog will usually take the escape rather than charge, but this boar turned and made eye contact with me (about 15 yards away). I was able to get a round in his head and he slid to within 5 feet of me dead.
Sorry fella's but I'm not buyingwhat you said about steppingto the side when a hog is charging you and laying in a field with a rubber band or what ever you do, "Steve Erwin". I live in an area of Texas where we have a astronomical amount of wild hogs. I have seen people charged, know people hospitalized by wild hogs and again been charged myself. My cousin was watering his cows and charged by a sow with babies.
Whether you think they are charging or just running by you scared, I'm not going to be the moron to verify that he is or aint charging me. "he's not chargingjust trying to run by me to get the heck out of Dodge.... I'll just shoot him with my BB gun when he goes by". keep trying that and you'll get got. Let me know how it turns out Tarzan!
Astronomical amount of hogs???? IN Amarillo. I hunt Pampa, Miama (note I spelled it just like they pronounce it), Whitedeer, Canadian, Panhandle, Sundown, Herford, etc. etc. I dont get into the "astronomical amount of hogs" till I get off the caprock. Llano, Dickens county, Baylor county, Motley county, Kent county, Knox county, Haskell county, the hill country (Junction), Where is this astromomical amount of hogs around Amarillo? Please, know who and what you are talking about before you go throwing around unpleasantries.
