H&H, you get down in that southeast corner of Texas and you find an average annual rainfall of four to six feet...
Just remember, a feral hog is just that , a wild hog, they can, and have killed hunters before
Can anybody verify this? I know they can be dangerous but I can't say I've ever actually seen, in writing, a hog killing a hunter.
But old Jürgen – a hunter for over 45 years – refused to give up, according to the paper. “It was getting dark and we at first didn’t even notice Jürgen had gone into the field,” said Ehrhard. “Suddenly he called for help.”
The hunters found him on the ground bleeding heavily from the leg after the boar had slashed a main artery near the knee with its tusks. “I wrapped his wound but he passed out,” said Ehrhard. “It was terrible.”
The hog hit Jim full force and knocked him down onto his back, and then instead of running off, the hog continued to fight and bite at Jim as he kicked and fought the hog off while lying on his back. Using his bow as leverage to keep the hog off him, he was able to keep the hog’s chomping teeth from sinking in to him. As soon as the hog was off of him, Jim got to his feet and made it out to the road where we found him. He never got a second arrow into the hog, but said that the hog wasn’t able to run very fast when it took off, so hopefully it was wounded severely enough that it would die.
My oh my these hogs are getting more dangerous and viscous all the time. Next thing you know they'll be stalking and killing men for sport.
