Any /spear/ bros? I was hiking pretty remotely on some old Indian trails along the river in central texas and happened upon some hogs. Wasn’t the first time this has happened either. I have no interest in hunting but I’m considering buying one to carry for defense if one decided to charge me next time and i don’t have a cliff or tree to retreat to. it seems like it would be pretty handy to have around as it was the most effective weapon in general before projectiles were invented
>>2857075>>/k/Carrying a spear to defend against hogs would be peak autism. Don't disturb them and carry a pistol if you feel at all threatened.
>>2857076I don’t feel like interacting with gun fags, I own a few but carrying there isn’t lawful and I’d rather not buttheads with federal law
their dirt cheap and light for the weight and cost you cannot do better than a spear that said if youve never killed something with a spear you are not going to magically kill that 300lb pig running at you you may as well not have it at all and just run still
Killing boar with a spear used to be a test of courage in antiqutiy and the middle ages. it's not without risk at all.
You aren’t going to 1v1 a hog with a spear even hog “hunters” ambush them or use a dog to distract them and then sneak in from the side and spear them in the throat or cut it with a Bowie. You pretty much have to flank them their head and back are extremely durable.
>>2857084Nah. Hunters regularly stick wounded hogs who attack them from the front. It is possible.Of course, you need to be very unlucky or very obnoxious to get attacked by a hog. Making enough noise to warn them and get away is usually enough.
