Well, I once had a 400 pounder put a hunting buddy down and start shooting at me with his rifle. Luckily, the distance was about 650 yards and he couldn't cheek the gun well. Shot him with my 22-250....in the eye. He died right there. Unfortunately, he fell over on my partner and, by the time I got thru the 650 yards of thick brush, he'd suffocated to death. I ended up mounting 'em both.

Seriously, I've seen sows turn and stand their ground, grunting in protection of young-uns; but a deliberate charge? Never.

My feeling is that hogs are single minded. When they decide to un-ass an area they do so; if you happen to be standing in that 1/360 degree of the compass, they MAY be single minded enough to go thru you rather than around you. That is then labeled a deliberate "attack".
