Boar charged me this morning......
Glad you didn't get hurt. It ain't a giant one but he could still lay you open pretty good if he got the chance. Never turn your back on an animal because they know and that's when they'll get you. A buddy used to have a turkey that would try to attack people but only from behind, it would act normal if you were facing it.

Ain't that the truth, my grandmother had a tom turkey that would whip your ass if you turned your back. I only made that mistake once. He hit me at a full run with both feet right in the middle of my back and put me on my face.
Once I was down, it was on, he stomped the crap out of me.

Tips Hat, tis good ta hear ya didn'tget stomped, i gots whopped apon bye a wood-chuck back in the day...

When they charge they charge
They kill people each year by charging. Pay attention to your femorals when they do.
Nice pictures !

Close call. Glad your ok.
Those bastards can cover a good bit of distance in a short amount of time.

this one charged me last year when I got down to look for a turkey I shot.

Sounds like you got one helluva dog, give him a big huge marrow bone.

Shoot, that turkey would have made that mistake once. That night we would have had smoked turkey, then turkey legs, turkey sandwiches, etc.
best thing ta do in a situation like that tis, take away it's charge acount, on acount tis self deffence...

I put a 50 lber in a pen last month. My cur dog would dig under and start baying him, so I would have to go in and get the dog. Damn hog would charge me and I would kick him in the face or side step and slap him across the face with the dog leash.
Last week, he pissed me off and I murdered him with my Uberti 45LC. No more charging.
