[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1337534, member: 229"] Hogs are plenty aggressive when there's a mamma and babies around. I've seen them go after folks just for being near the babies. I've only heard of two aggressive mail boars, but in both cases, it was after a kill of some sort (one was a coyote, the other was a recently gutted deer). I was mind-blown because I never thought Hogs would get a taste for blood. This is the reason that I carry a couple of extra "just in case" mags in my pack when hunting in any of the hog-thick areas with an AR. I figure that the risk of a GW asking why I have more than 7rds in a mag for my ".22 centerfire rifle" tucked deep in my pack are worth the chances of me being in a tree with only 5 or 10 rds and having to wait out some Hogs. I also carry my CCW, but I'm not too trustworthy of 30rds (counting the spare mag) of 9mm to get me out of a jam and I don't currently own a center-fire handgun that can be used to hunt (save maybe a Smith model 65 that's neither lightweight or conducive to shooting more than 5 hogs). I've personally had to dispatch more than a few hogs with my AR for a buddy that ran out of ammo in his bolt gun and jumped into a tree. It is truly a scary thought (especially when hunting alone or with one of your kids) when you realize that if they get you down on the ground, no gun will help you at that point. [/QUOTE]
