Lotta my buddies when I was growing up there hunted pigs. They would get dogs from the pound and use army issued knives that they stole.
On the Big Island, I came across a few boars, one as high as my chest at the shoulder while bird hunting. Huge head, about 20" across. My young dog started sniffing and the pig was digging in the dirt. Luckily, in between was a bush so they couldnt see ea. other. This pig was only about 40' away and I only had a 20ga O/U with 7 1/2 shot. So, I shouted, it looked up and grunted once and fled.
