Hope his wounds are not serious.  Injured wild boars are extremely dangerous!

How the hell do you hunt pigs with rifles in august? Did i miss something here guys? Beacuse that report says august 3rd

Glad the guys ok. Those boars dont like being killed i guess? whodathunkit?

Chad I'm guessing private land

I'm telling you they would've been better off OTW on yaks..  lings.. don't bite

Here piggy, piggy...that does not sound like fun.  Those hogs do get mean!

Dude should practice his aim.
Dead pigs don't bite.

one of the hunters shot the pig with a rifle, and the hunters then tracked the wounded animal into a canyon.

"It got backed into a corner, charged the hunters and bit the man in his hand and upper leg," Avansino said.

I'm no hunter but I thought that the golden rule was to never corner a wild animal (wounded or not). I tried doing that to a rat (with an attitude) one time and guess who won 

32 mph comin' at you is hard to hit... scull will turn Bullets... They won't stop... Find a tree or run faster than your buddy  Love pig hunting! only animal I've ever hunted that treed me! Then would go away and hide till I started down the tree and try to get me again. SMART and tasty

Nope, the golden rule is to do whatever you possibly can to follow and dispatch a wounded animal. And yes, sometimes that means it may be wounded animal 1, hunter 0. Plenty of folks done in by the big 5...

I saw a nice boar at Sonoma this weekend at 35 yards. All I had for protection was my walking staff and WristRocket. I sorely wanted my bow.
Very cool though! I saw a dozen others, sows and younger boars.

The toothy beast in my avatar is from Lake Sonoma... I won that war... I definately would NOT want to tangle with a wounded boar (or even a sow).
