Be very careful while still hunting hogs with a muzzleloader. i've passed up shots several times for concern of wounding a big hog and getting attacked.
Recently shot a 275 pound boar with big cutters from a tree stand on the opposite bank of West Cache creek. At the shot the hog came tearing down the bank, swam across the stream and headed up the bank on my side. Near the top of the bank the .54 caliber patched round ball took effect and the hog expired.
Wow ... good thing you were in a tree stand. It sounds like he wanted to get even before the ball took him. Very interesting!
