Re: How to defend yourself against wild hog without a firearm?
the day a hog is more sensitive than a human will be the same day that they learn to fly.... hogs are THE toughest animal i have ever hunted, and are actually why i switched from a 223 to a 270 for my main rifle, the bigger boars kept just takin the bullets and laughing at me!FutureHunter wrote:I don't have a bear spray but i have a pepper spray made for humans meant for multiple attackers (medium size, not small like other sprays).

i have always wondered if bear spray would work against hogs, ofcourse if your spraying into a head wind it wont matter much.
I'm just curious if this would work on a pig because animals are more sensitive than humans, so spraying them in the snot and eyes would mess them up... in that case pig should just stop charging at you and start squealing... or I am wrong?

I was talking about their flair. Their snout and eyes are much more sensitive than human eyes and noses.hunterPRO1 wrote:the day a hog is more sensitive than a human will be the same day that they learn to fly.... hogs are THE toughest animal i have ever hunted, and are actually why i switched from a 223 to a 270 for my main rifle, the bigger boars kept just takin the bullets and laughing at me!FutureHunter wrote:I don't have a bear spray but i have a pepper spray made for humans meant for multiple attackers (medium size, not small like other sprays).

For instance if you shoot a bear with Tokarev T-33 you'll just make him mad. But... if you use a bear spray, he'll fall back immediately.

What about one of those air horns? The ones you can find in the "marine" section. I would think that a loud blast with one of those would scare them away.
