The myth of hogs as "dangerous game" (semi-long rant)

[DigMe]

I know that at the present time some game farms are working towards attempting to raise european strain wild hogs. Some slight differance exists within the chromasones of the different strains and they are attempting to breed certified herds of these animals.

Interesting. I'm sure that if they get those bred they'll be charging premiums for rich hunters to put a bullet in one.

Its's not uncommon for domestic hogs to attack their keepers. I know of one instance wher a TAME, domestic sow with a litter of piglets attacked and killed the farmer that had raised her from a piglet. Wild hogs, I'm sure, are capable of that as well. Don't kid yourself. Their reputation goes back for thousands of years for good reason. Happy trails.

No one's kidding anyone here. Read my original post. I never said anything that contradicts your story.

Digme: That was a blanket, universal, hey y'all kind of "don't kid yourself".

The only time I've seen a hog not run away at the first sign, was when the momma had piglettes.. Otherwise, bacon?
