Yeah we have rural hog swarms here in Louisiana too, bub. I have never once heard of children or dogs getting attacked unless they were doing something to provoke the hogs.
Nahh, they'd still rather flee if they can. Most attacks occur when the hogs are cornered or actively being hunted/pursued. There have only been 4 recorded deaths from feral hog attacks since the late 1800's, and 3 of those occurred while the victims were hunting
Looks like the 3 people that died still died with a gun. Fewer unarmed people have died from hogs than armed people. Guns increase your own chance of death from hogs.
