    I've been thinking of getting rid of the moderator and using electronic earplugs. No way would I wear muffs hunting boar. I'd say he **** himself.

    Could be a heavier calibre than a 300. Shoot it a few times without ear protection, and the need for earmuffs could be no more!

    Electronic earmuffs probably made no difference to the time the boar could be heard anyway.

    Luckily YouTube has not invented "smell-o-vision" yet! That looked like new jocks maybe required!

    Idiot. Earmuffs hunting boar? Ad what's worse is there's other people with him and no one thought to tell him that's it's not a smart idea to wear ear muffs

    As a guest on a driven Spanish boar shoot we had a similar situation, but with a young boar.
    The boar doubled back on the dogs and promptly poped out of the cover and made blind dash towards us. Two shots from the double rifle turned him back towards the open fields where a volley of shots from the other stands turned him arse over tit.
    Minutes latter another young pig broke from the opposite side of the same cover and quickly ended up ploughing the soil like his brother.

    Lesson learnt: even when the hounds push on through you've still a chance.
