Rural folks should be packing when they go outside.
Feral hogs will run away like you know what when you open up on them.
Your odds of being attacked are certainly low but always best to be prepared.
Running away when shot at is true ALMOST all of the time. I have personally witnessed one 300 lb boar that charged from 50 yards away once he located the source of the gunshot, and his pain. Big boars are fearless. The only natural predator that has a chance against them is a cougar.
I have shot into wild hogs about a dozen times. Never had one charge me. Never could get off a second shot as they ran into the brush too fast. Course, I was sitting in the safety of my Ford F-150 pickup.
