He probably came from Niepolomice jungle next to Krakow. A wild boar, which prowled through a residential district in the southern city of Krakow, has been killed by hunters after a chase lasting several hours. The animal seriously injured two men, both who have been hospitalised. The boar was spotted in the area several days ago. The animals are a common sight in the suburbs of Krakow, but until now have not posed any threat to people. The hunting association in Krakow says that it controls the population of boars in the vicinity of the city, some culling 70 to 90 annually. This however was the first case of killing an animal in broad daylight. Hunters explain they had to resort to such methods since it is almost impossible to put a boar to sleep. Boars are not a protected species in Poland, add the hunters and if they pose a threat to humans drastic steps have to be taken. (ab) www.thenews.pl/national/artykul119909.html

Curious boar in my region investigates people who were walking with their dog:
P.S.- You have about 8.000 of them in the area where I live.

These bores were shot with Bows in Tennessee. The young man on the left is my nephew. (taken after he returned from his tour of duty in Iraq with the US Marines) How do you like those teeth?

Bowhunters rule! Never had the opportunity to take a wild boar, but a few feral pigs have met their Waterloo with me.

Bowhunters rule! Never had the opportunity to take a wild boar, but a few feral pigs have met their Waterloo with me. Never had boar served. Am dying to try it. Many years ago I had a pig roast with a 50 lb roasting on a spit over a open fire. All the neighbors left well fed and lubricated. Now it's time to try wild boar.
