I’ve been face to face with feral hogs. They don’t charge you. I mean, I guess they could do that. But in my experience they turn tail and run. Your head shot should happen as they start rooting. They make so much noise in a group that they’ll never hear you. When they’re rooting for food they likely won’t smell you. The dangerous time is if they start fighting amongst themselves. Mr. Wrekker says walk away from that as soon as you can. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > _Bill Gates wants to make us eat fake meat that was grown in a peach tree dish._ Seriously. A peach tree dish? Is this for absolute real? No audio editing or enhancements? If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears I wouldn’t believe an elected official could say something this stupid…and that’s saying a lot considering what the current crop is like. ---

I’ve shot rifles, but against a charging feral pig I’d want something that put out a wall of lead and hope nothing important was behind it. > > Knowing this, I avoid areas where I might run into a feral pig. Worrying about a feral hog attack is like worrying about getting struck by lightning. But, more people die from lightning than feral hogs. How effective is an AR against lightning? Do the projectiles draw away the bolts? ---
