If you are a competent deer hunter with bow, Boar hunting will be quite abit easier. They are not near as skiddish, They do have a great nose and good ears, there eye sight isn't the best.

I ussually use 100gr. 3blade muzzy's on a 400 gr. CX arrow. Shooting matthews outback @72#

I don't agree all the way hightine,especially about not being skiddish,they are very skiddish,and have an excellent sense of smell probaby more so than deer do,I expierenced it myself while stalking them.Thier
eye sight like you said is pretty poor,but believe me they pick up movement big time and will bolt in a hurry.
