All wild animals have the potential of being dangerous, especially when wounded or cornered.
In a natural state, feral hogs will prefer to run and escape danger, and are not considered dangerous. Extreme caution should be maintained when tracking wounded animals, trapping animals or encountering females with young. Their razor sharp tusks combined with their lightning speed can cause serious injury. Feral hogs are not classified as a game animal. Feral hogs are very intelligent and considered a challenging quarry.
