I got attacked by a big boar hog at the ranch this morning. I'd seen him a few times in the same area when looking at cows throught the spotting scope so I knew I had a big one floating around. I was walking a steep stretch of fence and walked right up to about thirty feet from his bed and startled him. I yelled and waived but instead of running away like they usually do he was looking for the motion and when he found it he attacked.
I hit him with a big old Mark Mcquire swing with the heavy end of a set of fence stretchers and it turned his head just enough that he didn't hit me full force but he did cut my leg up a little. I fell over him and we rolled around together pretty good. I got stepped on and got a few punches on him that did more to make me feel better than they did to hurt him. Finally he stopped and strolled a few yards up the hill and stopped. I yelled at him to get him to move on and instead he turned back around to look for me again... So I **** and layed there quietly while he strolled up the hill in no big hurry.
Pigs around here are fairly migratory and you never really know when they'll show up but I'd already seen this guy a few times and he really seams comfortable where he's at. What do you supose the chances of me finding him in that same bed are and should I go back soon or give him a day or two to get settled back in?
He's bedded right next to about three acres of STEEP brush cover that's a key peice of ground for moving cattle from the high pasture to the low pasture so he HAS to go but I can't fight him in that brush.
Thanks in advance for any and all ideas.
