Bow hunting these dangerous creatures at extremely close range without at least a sidearm is nothing less than foolhardy.

The smart bet is certainly to have a large-caliber sidearm holstered on ones hip...whether hunting with a bow or hunting with a longarm.

There are a number of videos on the net of hunters using only knives to boar hunt. You can find places that advertise knife hunts.

I have hunted wild hogs with a bow for 15 years with no injuries. I am very careful and do not take risky shots.
