- shiftpgdn 6y agoYou should use extreme caution around feral hogs. You could easily be gored or killed. A full grown feral hog can easily weigh. 3-900lbs. Imagine getting hit by an entire football team running at full speed. Or a small car with two knives strapped to the front. Edit: A woman was killed this year by feral hogs: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/26/us/texas-woman-killed-feral-hogs.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/26/us/texas-woman-killed-fer... . Attacks that result in death are unusual but you don't want to be in that position.
- kfichter 6y ago> It was only the fifth documented fatal wild hog attack in the country since 1825. Welllllll those odds aren't terrible
