[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1446345, member: 9675"] Just go hunt them, use your normal woodsmanship, play the wind. They are a wild animal and deserve respect, but 99% of the time they are just going to be looking for an exit. I have shot many a pig and never had one intentionally come at me other than they didn't know I was there and just looking for a way out. Backup weapon... eh. If you've got a pig charging, you're not gonna have time for a backup IMO. I don't think the average person has the skills to determine imminent danger, draw their weapon, take the safety off, aim, fire, and make a good shot within the couple of seconds it takes. But if taking a backup makes you feel better, knock yourself out! Just make a good shot the first shot and you won't have to worry about it. One tip that I will offer, if you are shooting a line of running pigs, never shoot the lead pig. If it goes down, they will scatter. Always start with the pig in the rear and work your way up the line. They don't notice the pigs in the rear dropping. [/QUOTE]
