Sorry I can't answer your questions Harley. I've never hunted boar myself, which is why I haven't chimed in before this. No knowledge to contribute. If memory serves though (this happened around '75), he was hunting European Wild Boar that have escaped and were getting established in TN and NC then. I could be WAY off base here, if so, someone please enlighten me. The only thing I remember for sure was that horrendous wound. Sort of left a lasting impression, ya know
