Any /spear/ bros? I was hiking pretty remotely on some old Indian trails along the river in central texas and happened upon some hogs. Wasn’t the first time this has happened either. I have no interest in hunting but I’m considering buying one to carry for defense if one decided to charge me next time and i don’t have a cliff or tree to retreat to. it seems like it would be pretty handy to have around as it was the most effective weapon in general before projectiles were invented

Carrying a spear to defend against hogs would be peak autism. Don't disturb them and carry a pistol if you feel at all threatened.

their dirt cheap and light for the weight and cost you cannot do better than a spear that said if youve never killed something with a spear you are not going to magically kill that 300lb pig running at you you may as well not have it at all and just run still

Killing boar with a spear used to be a test of courage in antiqutiy and the middle ages. it's not without risk at all.

You aren’t going to 1v1 a hog with a spear even hog “hunters” ambush them or use a dog to distract them and then sneak in from the side and spear them in the throat or cut it with a Bowie. You pretty much have to flank them their head and back are extremely durable.
