Cool, great fun they are and some are good eats.
mgg... rip you apart? Really? I've hunted them for 30 plus years now, and I've never had a single bad incident. I've had a few you had to watch, one I had to move out of the way of, after a bow shot, and one I had to kick in teh snout. But they are no more dangerous than a deer really. As long as you pay attention. At least ours around here aren't.
In fact I have more injuries from releasing deer caught in a fence than I've had with pigs.
Although one we caught live did manage to bite my thumbnail a bit when he chewed through the light rope we had the snout tied shut with while waiting on bigger rope....gnawer we called him...
