I haven't tried that, but I did get treed by a pack of hogs last summer. I was out hiking and saw them coming up the trail toward me, so I shot up a nearby maple and let them pass. There were 12-14 piglets, 8-9 juveniles, 3 sows, and big old boar who looked to be in the 375-400 pound range and had an impressive set of tusks.

As he passed under me, he stopped and looked up at me. You could almost see the calculations going through his mind as how best to knock me off my perch.

I waded into an 8'x8' trap with a 100lb sow and I was just carrying a 10" carver. It was exciting. I ruined a pair of shoes. The pig died. I didn't.

I'm not likely to do that again. Best ribs I ever ate, though.
