Descretion is the better part of Valor, indeed. A hog in a thicket is bad, going after a wounded tusker in a thorn thicket is just like setting yourself on fire.
I have seen them do some pretty amazing things, like run 35 yards with 4 inches of femur and the joint disentegrated, both lungs destroyed, plus the heart shot in half. That was a 358 with a 200 gr bullet. I know they can take 7 rounds from a 357 Mag, Cause I was reloading my Blackhawk when the dead hog stood up, next to me. That was, ah, rather exciting. So I now carry a whomping stick.
