Are hogs dangerous to someone walking around?

Yesterday I went to NE Texas to our family place to ride my horse. I'm down in the woods in the bottoms and I see our neighbor working on his fence. He's carrying an AR-15 (I think) over his shoulder. I joked about him having the gun and he said that he carried it in case the hogs got after him. He seemed serious. I've seen some out riding, but they always run away. I sometimes have to dismount to get a gate and my dogs go with me when I ride - do I really have to worry about hogs getting after us?

If you startle them, they can turn on you. Very slim chance but it can happen. When we started seeing hogs on our property, we started carrying handguns at all times.

Better to kill them with prejudice than take a chance.

frick yea, I was charged by one when I was little.
I've had several grunt and stomp at me when little ones were around. They don't give a frick if they are threatened.

Hopefully, an AR-10. Hogs ain't no joke.

No, they are not.
Some people on this board act like hogs can break into your house and night and eat your children. Don't mess with them and you won't have a problem. Their first instinct is to run.
And because some people can't understand the concept, I will make this statement: If you are going to actively hunt them then yes, you should carry a gun. If you are walking through the woods looking at the leaves, you will be ok.

I've never been charged unless we were hog hunting. If they have a way to escape then they will turn inside out getting away. If they feel cornered they will try to bluff you first then charge. Slim to no chance of getting attacked by hogs unless you're trying to make em attack you.
