Wild boar are usually
crepuscular, foraging from dusk until dawn but with resting periods
during both night and day. They eat almost anything they come
across, including grass, nuts, berries, carrion, roots, tubers,
refuse, insects, small reptiles. Wild boar are also known to
predate on young deer and lambs.
If surprised or cornered, a
boar (and particularly a sow with her piglets) can and will defend
itself and its young with intense vigor.[citation needed] The male
lowers its head, charges, and then slashes upward with his tusks.
The female, whose tusks are not visible, charges with her head up,
mouth wide, and bites. Such attacks are not often fatal to humans,
but may result in severe trauma, dismemberment, or blood
loss.
This cache will lead you into
some serious bushwhacking. We could not find a trail and knew we
needed to go 700 feet to the next trail. So we decided this was our
best shot. Needless to say once again we needed to drop an ammo can
for a reference point. This one is pretty easy to find as I
seriously doubt anyone will stumble across this one. It does not
matter which way you decide to approach this one...you are in for
some bushwhacking. Good luck and keep an eye out for those feral
pigs.
