Video: Man Wrestling Wild Hog Gets Flipped on His Back
Outdoorhub ^ | Daniel Xu

Tusks or no tusks, wild pigs can be dangerous animals. Hunting them can be riskier than many sportsmen bargain for, and trying to wrestle one can be downright foolhardy. This trapper in East Texas found himself a bit out of his element as he tried to wrangle a large sow into a cage. Notice how the pig repeatedly went after his legs. Both male and female hogs use tusks for defense, and if this one had a set, no doubt it would have tried to gore the man.

Thankfully, though, the trapper survived the event with little more than possibly a few bruises, and the indignity of being flipped onto his back by a sow. There are probably better ways to coax the pig into a cage, but you can’t fault this man for being a little adventurous.

I coax them with a high powered projectile at over 3000 fps or a 100 grain cut on contact broadhead.

That pig has been de-tusked or else he would have been disemboweled when he bear hugged the pig around the neck. Wussy

A fried of mine told me about going on a hog hunt with a guy who wanted to spear one. My friend was there as backup with a rifle. The rifle was needed. I wouldn't get near one of those critters.

Looks like we got us a sow here instead of a boar.

I want to see the bow that moves an arrow at 3,000 fps.
