Yes, WAY too close.

I'm glad those guys didn't end up shooting each other.

The title on that video is "Funny Pig Hunting Accident" and I have to tell you I find it anything but funny.

Many of you know I was on the wrong end of a big boar attack and it could have cost me my life. These guys could have easily shot each other and if that happened I am sure they would change the title of the video.

You just cannot underestimate how deadly these large boars can be!

I was charged once by one not nearly that size but just as pissed.
I'll never forget it

I can tell you one thing about this video. It will happen to you if you don't give them time to perish. A min.of 30 minutes after you stick one with an arrow. Wild hogs will not only hurt you they will eat you. thats why they rank no2 behind a griz as afar as dangerous game in North America. knock on wood I've not been hurt but in Texas there are a few cases of hunters being attacked by wounded hogs every year. We use dogs and what ever to dispatch them. My wife and I have killed a few with xbows when hunting in stands. These animals are very dangerous if wounded and to my experience it's not always a big boar that will get after you a sow with pigs can get pretty ruff if her piglets are in danger.

I agree 100 % w/mikew on this

Ok, I am not doubting that

But, I am curious...

If anyone knows where that statistic came from ????
