Hi...
If you've ever watched the old movie Gunga Din...it portrayed an instance where some of the younger officers wanted to go boar hunting on horseback, and used lances as their weapons.
The old officer in charge told them never to dismount during the hunt. Of course, somebody did, and even in the movies, someone got badly hurt...!!
Even the pecceries (wild pigs) of our southwest and Mexico can do much harm to a person.
I once had the good...and not so good...fortune to hunt wild boar in the Mountains of Turkey.
Another group of hunters was also in the area. Some of the other group were wearing clothing similar in color to a wild boar. One of them even wore an Alpine hat, that had a boar's tail in it. He ended up getting shot in the face, having been "mistaken" for a boar.
We had to carry him for miles through the mountains until we met with our Kamakazi bus driver who brought us over the winding, cliff-side roads to our starting point that morning.
I never did find out what happened to the wounded hunter after that.
