What a boar! Wild pigs snort and snuffle €20k worth of marching powder stashed in Tuscan forest

Re: Wild Boar..

Nah, I've been 4-5 feet from an old male boar in woodland.

I wasn't even trying to be quiet, it just didn't care about me. Maybe if I'd been carrying a rifle things would've been different - the boar in that wood were hunted and eaten.

But it's easy to believe someone got that close to one. The big old males aren't interested in fleeing. The young mothers tend to be much more shy, as long as you're not interfering with their extremely cute (and tasty) offspring.
