Hunter killed by wild boar

Sounds challenging. :cool:

"Wild Boar are VERY TOUGH animals. Make sure when you take your shot it’s in the kill zone. An injured wild boar that turns on you is a very dangerous animal. They don’t have claws, but their tusks are sharp and they self-sharpen every time they open and close their mouths. Remember boar do not have the same shape/shot placement as a deer. A shot should be in the shoulder area with a deep penetrating bullet."

And tell that to the hunters down south that do it all the time, see how many of them say "A shot should be in the shoulder area with a deep penetrating bullet." You'll be laughed at I'm sure.

Down south they do not have the same boars as in Europ/ Eastern Asia. Those boars are a hell lot bigger and nastier, i have seen one hunging al cleaned weighing in just over 200kg. A boar that size is feared by bears too.
 
One of my nephews friends hunts them in texas with a home made spear.
He’ll find a sounder and pile up a half-dozen of the squealing suckers.
He’s not a small man at 6’4” and 220 lbs.
Definitely has Big Brass Ones.
 
They are saying a feral pig’s vitals are lower and more forward than those of a whitetail deer so a shot placed behind the shoulder will be a gut shot.

"Spine shot -

The spine shot is my personal preference when hog hunting.

Heart/lung shot -

RESULTS – Animal will run off the majority of the time, often without showing ANY sign of being hit."

Except the one in the article wasn't a feral pig, it was a wild boar. Don't believe everything you read online, they're just pigs. They die just like other animals. :)

No position, just what's stated on that website.
 
From what you see on the internet shooting boars out of a helicopter seams to be the preferred way, shoot them and fly on to the next one.

Quite possibly wouldn't have been a fatality if he had gotten prompt and proper treatment. Or if he hadn't missed/had shot it properly.

Height wise the boars tusks would be lined up with the femoral artery on the inside of the leg on a human. A ripped out femoral artery would require very prompt first aide indeed !

Good reason for carrying some thing like the israeli bandage and knowing how to use it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNR8rRFgwNk

And often with the lowly .223, but with multiple shots. Usually done in the States where you're good with a 30 shot clip. Fun way to eradicate harmful pests.
