I was hunting deer yesterday out in Lincoln county and it was about 4:00. I had to head out soon but I decided to take a loop around the fenceline before heading to the truck. I was creeping slowly along and scanning with some 10x binoculars and I spotted a wild pig. Couldn't believe it at first since I've never seen one there or seen evidence of them. I was a bit shocked. I immediately looked around the area for other pigs since they tend to travel in groups. I didn't want to creep up on the piggy and be surprised by a tusky boar charging at me. The pig was solo and so she'll be in the smoker tomorrow. Nice little piggy. Didn't look like a wild pig. Was kinda grey skinned and white bristled with dark spots. I figure it was probably a farm born pig that got loose. First generation wild piggy.
I've heard stories of wild pigs being mean, charging people, and tearing them up. So...
Do you guys have any stories of wild pigs charging, attacking, goring, chewing your leg off or anything sensational?
I'm wondering how big of a threat they really are. Next time I go out there I'll be on the lookout for monster boars and will for sure be ready to run or stand my ground and meet force with force!
