And if all else fails bring a friend who cant run very fast. You dont have to be faster then the bear...

    Blessed with pork

    I find the wild pork to be very good. the best results come from iceing the meet down for about three to four days to allow it to bleed out before processing. myself i would eat wild pork before domestic any day, sow that is, boar tend to be a little musky.

I could hear them feeding in a creek...
