Wild Hogs
Not the movie, the animal. Just wondering if anyone has ever ran over one or maybe any other unusual animal. I knew a guy who almost hit a bear one time on a bike, had to have been scary. I also saw a dead monkey laying by the roadside in Florida. I bet that story started with, "Now you ain't gonna believe this s**t"! Reason for this ridiculous post is wild hogs almost killed the ol ladys big potbelly pig 2 nights ago. Took 12 shots with a .45 colt revolver to finish him off and he was already almost dead. Pigs are incredibly tough and i figured running over one would be like hitting a boulder. Anyone got a good pig story? I don't want to hear about that time you scored at closing time either.
In 1979 I actually got hit by a buck. I was parked at a stop sign on a backroad in Wisconsin when a buck darted out of the forest and knocked me and my scooter clean over. A little butt puckering in my teens. I know this ain't no pig story as you requested, but you took em' away from me with your final statement.

I have hit 2 hogs with a vehicle. One was in a Ford Bronco 4X4 at about 25 mph. I center punched it with a big aftermarket winch bumper. One of the hogs front legs was broken but it ran off. I was able to shoot it with an AR-15 and put it out of its misery. I hit one in a Ford Crown Victoria at about 30 mph. the hog lived and ran off. the Crown vic sustained major front end damage alignment issues. I would not want to hit one on a Motorcycle. Imagine running into the hog shown in my avatar, that would mess your day up. I prefer to chase them with dogs.

Wild Boar in the South are huge. When I did research on getting my dog an "American Bulldog" which I guess are bread to bring down or assist in hunting Wild boar. I realized how big they are.
If someone was to hit a wild boar it better be a piglet.
I attached a pic of one shot in Texas.
