They'll run AWAY if nor cornered. Last year I stalked a whole pack - - 2 @ around 50#, 2 around 70# one big sow around 100# and way too many little ones to count. I was able to get a shooting lane in a ditch, and shot the wrong head bobbing in, took one of the 70# pigs instead of the big sow. Before I knew it the whole herd was bearing down on me (kneeling in the tall grass alongside the road). As soon as I stood up, they all changed direction directly away from me.
I'm not sure about SW FL, but here in North FL WMA's offer good challenging hunts hunting. Going home empty-handed is the status quo, makes getting one real special.
