WiId Boar In Philippines.

There are thousands of wild boar in the Philippines and you can shoot them anywhere. The natives usually drive them into nets with dogs. Some times they are caught In pitfalls or traps. No one ever heard of the Phil ippine wild boar attacking anyone. although it grows to great size and looks very fierce. Like the wild jungle fowl. which will breed with domestic poultry. the wild boar will breed freely with the native pigs.
