the general 'best practice' when dealing with an aggressive boar is to keep it away from you, yeah. spears and spear-like implements are your best option because a braced spear can actually do substantial damage to a boar and even not braced if they lodge you then have a lever to manipulate the boar's momentum. boars are not exactly the most sure-footed or graceful creatures so even knocking them a few degrees off center can make them stumble and spill out, which is what you need to rescue an injured person or get away for real. even this is super dangerous, and the real solution is to just let dudes with guns go solve the loving problem. there is not even an ecological argument to be made for boars in an ecosystem - they are hands down the most destructive megafauna on the planet because they eat pretty much everything and do not give a poo poo about anything. even a backward as poo poo government like the oklahoman state one doesn't gently caress around with boars; if there's more than one or two near anything matching the description of a village people with high powered rifles get called to exterminate them. spears are strictly a thing employed by ranchers and other super rural folks as a last resort if a 500 pound animal somehow sneaks up on you. the real China thing in that video is that there are boars near an area that populated to begin with. even repressive military juntas like loving myanmar generally do a good job of keeping dangerous animals away from people, but nope, the CCP is too busy being massive douchenozzles and encouraging their populace to be even bigger douchenozzles to one another to do even that.

Yeah, boars will gently caress your poo poo up, bad. I thought the dude was just passed out, sad to hear he lost too much blood or had a heart attack or something

I live and work in central Shanghai, and hate these bikes with a passion. They render huge stretches of already terrible sidewalks unusable because there are way too many of them. Every time I go to work in the morning, I see guys unloading trucks/vans and filling up the sidewalks with the yellow ones.

The goon who was doing boar control on a large rural property in North Carolina started hunting them with spears because he shot so many of them that using a gun got boring iirc. He also used drones with NV cameras to survey the property and track the boars.

That’s clearly a bunch of abandoned/discarded Ofo/Mobike/Bluegogo shared bicycles rounded up and impounded by the authorities. (Though to be fair the actual Chinese caption calls them shared bikes.) I’m visiting a friend’s place over the weekend and a few people in the house have caught one of the 888 varieties of colds going around in China. The parents’ solution (bearing in mind that these are both college educated professors in STEM fields, not rural n*ngs) was to pour a bunch of vinegar into a wok and heat it to boiling for a while, then walk around the house carrying a flaming hot wok from room to room wafting foul vinegar fumes everywhere. So now a few people still have colds and the entire house reeks of vinegar. This has been your weekly reminder of how China will rule the world in

Human beings have hunted boars with spears since before written history. Dude, boars are ridiculously thick-skinned. You would need to get to their side (or preferably get them knocked over to stab their underbelly). If a boar is facing you, you've got nothing to stab except its ugly thick head and boars have taken .30-06 rounds to their heads and survived. I've seen actual hunters with rifles get stuck up trees because they ran across angry boars and couldn't get rid of them. There were people in ancient times who hunted boars, but they were always doing that in groups, often with dogs, sometimes on horseback (hell, in ancient Persia they used loving elephants for boar-hunting.) The ancient Greeks considered boar-hunting a massive badass endeavor (up there with killing a lion). Boars will gently caress your poo poo up and if you're by yourself, no matter what weapon you're carrying, you don't want run into one unexpectedly.

i will say, the last time i went down to Oklahoma to take advantage of a boar hunt that was on the tasty part definitely was true. my kill wasn't even clean (i hosed up my shot and got him in the hips, he had to bleed out over the course of the next hour) and that was still some seriously good loving pork.

My town has boars, sometimes there's city-wide announcements about boar culls (please wear bright colors when you're walking in the woods) and news about middle schoolers getting cornered on their way to school.  They're mostly in the hills but there have also been sightings in neighborhoods on the coast.The babies are crazy stupid cute.

Given a spear or running I am going to try the spear first if I can keep my nerves. The whole thing with spears is if you have a charging animal you don't try to stab it, you let the animals own momentum so it spears itself. If it backs off you can retreat in good order. Of all melee weapons spears/pole arms are the easiest to use that's why everyone got one back then from the peasant to the Phalanxes. It goes without saying don't do this with Rhinos, elephants, etc because what's wrong with you. Not sure how true it is but flaming boars were against elephants to scare the poo poo out of them so they would run away preferably through their own lines.

A boar can't really hurt an elephant, it's just to big. Humans are very privileged to be tech monsters, could imagine fistfighting even something like a goat? It'd gently caress you right up.

The licensing is expensive and difficult for most people to deal with these days. While we have a relatively large amount of hunters, a lot of them don't bother with boar because the meat isn't that good compared to deer or moose. Also boar here can carry trichinella so if you kill one you need to send a sample of the meat off for analysis before it can be sold or eaten. The analysis is free, but it's still an annoying step to have to take.

As mentioned earlier, if a boar is coming at you there isn’t really any target area available to you that isn’t it’s stupid-thick skull. If you’re trying to rely on it’s own momentum that’s even worse because after your spear glances off it’s cheek or forehead you’ve now got a 200+ pound pork tank moving at full speed and too close for you to try and spear again or run away from.
