U mean European Wild boar?? ;)

i have always wondered if bear spray would work against hogs, ofcourse if your spraying into a head wind it wont matter much.
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). It sprays at up to 12 feet (4M) away.
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?
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!

I was talking about their flair. Their snout and eyes are much more sensitive than human eyes and noses.
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.

I was thinking about that too, but I'm kinda worried that it would **** them off
