Once, as has been mentioned previously, I found myself too close to a sow with piglets.  I thought she was going to charge but she just kept turning to keep me in sight while her piglets gathered behind her, then they bolted off. The other time was waaay too close.  I was hunting in heavy cedars, so heavy I had to crawl under some on my hands and knees.  When I got to an opening where I could stand up, there were pigs snoozing all around the opening, just under the cedars. There was about a 20 pound piglet that spotted me, started pacing and grunting, then let out a little squeal. When he did, his mom stood up and he ran too her. He started squealing again which got all the other hogs up on their feet.  There were probably 15-18 in that bunch.  The little guy was standing next to his mom’s shoulder so I aimed for his head and put a shot through both him and his mom.  That’s when all hell broke loose.  There were pigs running everywhere, crisscrossing, squealing, snorting… then I see a big boar coming at me.  I tried chambering another round but my 45-70 jammed. The boar came by, barely brushing my leg, but his tusk sliced my pants open like you cut them with a knife or scissors.  When all the pigs had gone and I regained my composure, I realized how lucky I was.  I also realized that the boar wasn’t “coming at me” so much as I just happened to be in the path where he was trying to go.  If he had really wanted to get me, I likely would have been done in that day.</blockquote>
