They don't mess about. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I shot one 3 times it was down to one front leg and was escaping thru the snow. I caught up with it and it turned to attack me. Head shot stopped that. that pig was a baby one which still had it stripes in its coat. dont fck with pigs 10 round mag safety off and two more mags is my go to.

neil r 1,902 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 We had a normally good as gold sow that smashed a metal gate up in the yard and then smashed through the shed door to get to us when we had to check one of the piglets . Had to dive over into the next pen and out the door to get out the way . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 29,668 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Have been called out to a couple of sheep attacks that have turned out to be boar, very messy one sheep was still alive after having been half eaten, think they will become a national epidemic within 10 years myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like his fat protected his internal organs? They say gladiators used to fatten up for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Seen a vid a while back of a boar killing two dogo Argentinaos (spelling) a while back, while on a hunt, went through them like they were made out of paper mache. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Injury was the last thing the trainers want to happen to them. The were held in high regard and treated much like the athletes of today. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 48,152 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I always use a pig board when I move them because they can get quiet boisterous with you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I helped a lad here the other year I genuinely thought they were going to come over the gate and kill us ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
