Wow, I get caught up in some family business and am AFK for a day and the thread blows up, LOL.

I have had hogs run by me numerous times, but none that were running away and turned around and ran toward me and then refined their route to actually running directly at me, covering more than 90 yards to do so. To me, that shows intent on the part of the hog. There were a lot of directions and places for that hog to run without changing directions and running directly at me.

Was the hog running blindly? No. First, hogs don't run blindly. They actually see fairly well and see better in low light than humans. The hog could see me. It was a bright enough moon for me to navigate to that food plot without using NV/thermal. The hog could hear me shooting as well.

So I am good with my opinion that it was a charge.

flags and a couple others disagree and they are welcome to their opinion. I have enjoyed reading the discussion. In the end, none of us are psychic and having any way of knowing the hog's true intent (flight, attack, or a combination).
