Bronko,
I didn't make up that story...LOL...it’s actually the way we use to train our dogs and some people still do today. I will tell ya this; them ole boys down at the bar wise up real quick when they see us coming afterwards...LOL...It is the most fun you can have. On a serious note generally a sow will put her cubs up a nearby tree and attempt to lead the danger away from her young. Also, did you know that a sow with cubs won’t breed so boars will attempt to eat the cubs so the sow will come in heat? Also, if the food source isn't plentiful some sows will not breed due to the lack of the necessary dietary staple...LOL
Did I happen to mention I am a wildlife biologist??? sorry for the mass info. Ya know I thought us Mountain people were the one's that wasn't smart. I gotta see someone yank a big cat out of the tree by its tail. I aint doubting ya, just wanna see it...LOL
V/R
