If you've had a pig fly past you at full pelt being chased by dogs and you think you can hit it with an arrow... I'm sure the owner would like to see that feat

I had one like a shetland pony clad in coconut matting  show at high speed over/across a track in front of me and it was so quick that I never even had time to get the gun to shoulder.  It is very difficult when you are put on a peg /stand and you don't know the lay of the land, where there will be a break through and where dogs are.. it's quite a high though.

I was told by an experienced shot to get on one knee to shoot boar coming toward you if your on the ground and not up in a raised stand. ( If you've got the nerve ).  He reasoned that kneeling you were smaller and that you were shooting straight at the target rather than having to add downward lead as the target closed in. He said that he had seen people ripped and seriously injured  by boar going through them. One of the son in laws has a place down in middle France and says that when they have the local boar shoots it is wise to stay inside as they tend to shoot all over the place and everyone wears yellow hi vis.

The high-viz vests are a legal requirement here too.. don't want to get popped now do ya

Boar will rip through you. However, with dogs instead of guns, who knows what's possible.

Have you seen the land intended to be worked? I have.

The land is worked rwgular with a pack, pushing the boar to guns. Why would it not work to swap guns for catch dogs? You'll probs not get as many boar but I'm sure you'd get one or two, plus a fuuck load of good sport.
