From my little experience of them, most boar are fairly easy to find and stop if dog knows half what’s is about. But then there are the real animals which are fewer and far between, which may well be because they avoid being seen (they run in batchelor groups and push the younger males ahead of them to find trouble), but when you bump into one of those ones, they can give a decent dog a fair tuning. Not a lot of point smacking the big big boys anyway cos they taste of crap and are hard to carry. The poor animals get a bad do, with the wannabe hard men going up abs throwing multiple dogs on one
