  Yes, from time to time. But I'd bet you any sum of money that there are less than 40 such fatal attacks per year in the US and Canada. And I say this as someone who hunts wild boars, and currently has 2 wild boar hams soaking in brine in preparation for a Christmas dinner. And what do you mean "in all likelihood"? Do you mean that you have some evidence that there are more wild boar attacks per year in the US and Canada than there are shark attacks worldwide? Or do you mean that the concept is kind of cool despite being entirely without evidence?
