Its really easy to get fooled. Ive shot a couple blockheaded old, old sows that i thought were boars for sure, but admittedly both instances were very fast encounters in timber with no time to reallylookat them. Dont even bring binos hunting in wa, i just get in the timber and get into fast close shooting situations. If ida been able to watch them for a while through binos, maybe id have known. But the brown one, i doubt id have thought sow even if i had time to really watch. And without getting into a long story im pretty sure shes the same bear that i got right between her and her cubs 5 years earlier, and she was very cool about it. Kinda makes me feel like a jerk. But she was 25yrs old and on borrowed time. But both encounters with her, looked like a boar to me.[ATTACH=full]6544[/ATTACH]
