OK. I got the straight scoop from my friend that it happened to and the story is pretty much right on. They had time to jump in the cab and the big red boar hit the door they had just slammed within seconds. They had the tailgate closed and one hog jumped up on the back and was trying to grab the deer's hoof sticking up. They had not dragged the hog to the truck but had driven the truck out to where the deer fell when the hogs came out of a slew near them and ran toward them. The mz they had shot the doe with was not loaded but his son, the girl's dad, was with them too and had his loaded but could not get a clear shot on his side of the truck. The 35 hog number came from when they drove off in the truck to 400 yards and counted the group still running around near the pond in the tall grass. They said they counted 10 big hogs and 20 between 75-100 lbs and could see grass moving where smaller ones were moving around but could not see their backs. He got together with some local landowners and began driving around the area looking at cut soybean fields and he said the hogs are tearing the whole area up. Maybe the cut soybeans have got the group congregated on that area heavier than normal? He is carrying a pistol from now on though. He called the gw and told him he was going to start carrying and he said, " Heck, carry 2 or 3!".
