[Radio4] Wild Boar

[dancefloorlandmine]

From Radio 4's Shadows on the Landscape series ...

"Are wild boars dangerous?"
"Well, I don't know of anyone who's been attacked by one, and I've been doing this work for seven years. Like any animal, they can get a bit fed up if you start firing bullets at them, but otherwise they always run."

Note to self: Don't fire bullets at wild boar. :)

They're pernicious buggers too. You can run them through with a spear (apparently) and they keep coming at you. That's why old boar hunting spears had a square wooden plate across the base so there was a bit of a barrier. Like that would help a lot.

i find wild BORES much more terrifying (and they are common in urban areas), shooting at them isn't really an option...
