I Started Carrying Mace/Pepper Spray With Me While Hunting

[AusTexDude]

Unlike many creatures who run from the sound of gunfire hogs seems to run right towards it. Hogs are much smarter than anything in the wild even though it would not look like it in that video. I doubt those hunters made it out totally unscathed there were just too many hogs coming from all directions.

I wouldn't carry mace, but I might carry bear spray. A hog getting a face full of that might be enough to allow time to escape.

I wish the park here did not have rules against sidearms because we have a skyrocketing hog population and in my area it's estimated there are between 9 and 16 hogs per square mile. I metal detect by a natural water source with lots of mud about 1/4 mile away. Funny thing is in Texas I could legally carry my razor sharp samurai sword but that may look a bit funny.

I prefer a barbed spear. It is instantly ouchie and keeps on being so as you blood track them. Bonus: unlike an arrow ( or the in and out sword) they lose all concern for you and become focused on the spear dragging at them no matter what they do. And the bleeding is enhanced. When you catch up to them is the time for your Estoc. It is all yummy from there. Round up the buds for a spit roast. You have now attained matador status
