I've had 1000 pound boars that you wouldn't want to mess with. A couple of tricks though, if you ever find yourself about to be attacked by one of these is one, hit the fucker square on the end of the snout as hard as you can, preferably with a 2X4, but then, who carries one around with them? They will drop about as fast as you would, lol. Another thing is make sure you stay on your feet. They can't turn their necks to bite you and you can use the top of their bodies with your arms to stay up and away. Pretty much you have to be horizontal, on the ground for them to be able to bite you. Now those tusks are something I'm not sure about. Ours do not have tusks, lol.
