Whooped, Out ran , Cut and more !

Some of those big boars are incredible smart. We had one that wiped out a professional hunter's pack that the National Park Service shipped over from Hawaii to California. The boar would get a big pack of bay dogs all baying him and back up into a downed tree, dirt bank, tree trunk, and then act all settled down to get the dogs over confident and then the dogs would close in the bay right off his nose. He would then jump clean over the bunch and land 10 feet out running. The next part was his deadly trick. He would only go 100 feet, turn and go for the first soft belly of a dog that came his way.

My nephew watched him do this from the top of a canyon, too far for his handgun to shoot. We eventually got him in a steep sided creek bottom where he had no room to manuever like he was used to. He had his ears chewed off years ago down to the skull, tail long gone and scar tissue all over his back end and neck, most likely done when he was younger. He was near 300 without a scale, maybe 350, with 3" cutters. The crazy thing was he was pure white, but time and dirt made him look yellow.
