WILD HOG HUNTING ON FOOT IS DANGEROUSWild hog hunting in the woods on foot can be dangerous. No doubt, stalking wild hogs in the dense river bottom woods of the 4J Ranch is exciting, but wild hog hunters must be aware of the potential dangers surrounding wild hog hunting. If a wild hog is surprised by hunters and the wild hog perceives it is cornered, the wild hog may attack to protect itself. In the case of female wild hog with a litter of baby wild hogs, it is very likely the female wild hog will at least make a threatening charge at the hunters. A wounded wild hog that is pursued will eventually stand its ground and charge a hunter that gets too close. Even a one hundred pound wild hog has the speed, strength and teeth necessary to outrun, knock down and mortally injure a wild hog hunter. So be forewarned, wild hog hunting in the woods on foot can be dangers. IF YOU CHOOSE TO HUNT HOGS OF FOOT, BE PREPARED.
