Pity that this post was a little tainted by opinion but that's part of the forum. A couple of things worth mentioning: before you get to eat old scruffy boris, you have to kill him and before that you have to catch him. Look at the country in the pics: flat open/scrub. For those not familiar with wild boar (sus scrofa ) they can shift, they can jump, their heads are like concrete rams and their breast sheilds are like iron. One decent sized boar will easily out-match a single dog in most circumstances in the wild, even when the dog catches it: they are strong and efficient. What's a feral pig
