At any time a hog hunt can go wrong
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 3/29/2017 | J McAdams

Things don't always go as planned on a hog hunt. These hunters captured awesome and hilarious footage of hog hunting gone wrong. Feral hogs are intelligent animals.

Couple this intelligence with their size, speed, and strength, and a hog can quickly turn the tables on an unprepared hunter.

As these hunters demonstrated, you always need to be on your toes when hunting feral hogs, especially when they are at close range. A hog is not as dangerous as an angry big trophy like a buffalo or elephant, but a charging hog can quickly turn an ordinary hunt into a dangerous situation. There are some hunters have had their day ruined by a very angry feral hog. See the hog video here

A friend of mine had to have 28 stitches across his left thigh from just one pass of a medium-sized hog in a really bad mood. They’re nothing to mess with at close range, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing. Even if you do, they’re so unpredictable, bad things can still happen.

OMG, that is hilarious! That looks like one happy dog, too...you could almost see it smiling with its tongue hanging out.

If that dog had a beer, it would have asked one of the others to hold it!

Some of those people just look like dopes. Who the hell would walk up to one just standing there, even if it is wounded?

Seems to me you would walk up only if it looked like it was dead, and then only after you make sure.

Yep. They are dopes in my book. I shoot em at distance and when I walk up to one that I think is dead, I pop it in the head with a pistol round before I get real close to it. They’re some kind of tough and I don’t trust em for second till I know for sure they’re dead.

They had wild boars where I lived in the Philippines, and I got chased up a tree one time.

I had no problem shinnying up, because I had heard stories about what those tusks could do to your legs or groin.

I’ve around wild hogs. I have to say, I would never have believed that event if I didn’t see the video. Heck, most domesticated hogs would have torn up that dog.
