Pigs in USA are just meat, here in Europe and further east in Russia wild boars can be really dangerous, they kill hunters armed with firearms like every year. I've talked to an old man, who have seen hunters being killed by a boar at least twice, most recent at the time of that talk happened just a year ago, a young men, a son of his friend died, as the boar sliced that big artery on the inner side of his leg, so he just bled to the death almost instantly.
But what is insane, is people hunting bears, like really BIG grizzly bears on ground level with a spear. On one hand, it's awe inspiring, but on the other, they are fucking nuts! If I ever went hunting like this, I would never go further into the past technology than flintlock rifles. Deer or boar - sure, could be done with a spear, but a bear.... And then the question of ethics comes up, it's a big beast, it will not die instantly, if I'm doing that, I'd blow it's brains out, so the game would be like - "never seen it coming" and... it is no more, no pain, no suffering, nothing, just gone. Sure, that skull wold not make a nice trophy anymore (unless glued together). So what?! If I'm dong it, I'm not doing that just fir the thrill, I want meat and hide, or because it's done for the animal control purposes.
