boar hunting with spear

[Siiem]

Do not try it!!!!!
I heard about group of people which tried that. One died, one ended up on wheelchair and other guys were hospitalized for some time...
They used spears and arrows. Arrows just bounced of the boar and those spears could not withstand first contact with the boar. He just broke them like matches. After that they were helpless.

hmmm, was this a black plated boar?

The only wild boars where i live are the mutant cross-bred half-boar-half-farm raised pigs that are giant vicious things that weigh a ton.
These things get on the news for like breaking houses and shit.

But still, a couple dudes with properly made spears and using them correctly would take one down without getting hurt. People who have no idea what they are doing? Yeah they'd die.

Like you need a hunting permit in eastern europe.

Use polearms if you must but whatever you do don't use archery.  Until arrow speed gets a buff boars will react just like any typical cRPG player does when an archer shoots at them, as demonstrated here:

The guy was very lucky, never do this.

I heared from a deadly attack from a boar, friend went for fuel station to get gas for the car, as he camed back his girlfriend was killed by a boar..If she has piglets and feel threatened by you,than she will attack. Medieval German hunter used a spear with a piece of wood on the shaft to blockade the boar,as it so furious try to reach the hunter thats it rams itself the spear deeper in the body,crawling with the spear through his whole body to kill you.


so never try this

the crossbar was a piece of iron or steel, actually.  and boar spears are typically reinforced with banded iron, as the weight and speed of the charging animal tends to break the wooden shaft like a twig.

I can't seem to find the name of the place but there is a place in Quebec (canada) where you can go with a group armed with lances (or bows) to fight ''wild'' boars with a professional boar killer.
