Nobody needs a 30 round magazine for hunting. Noisy warning.

To paraphrase a very old adage:

we hunt like we train

Sure, although I don't want to be practicing small unit tactics to hunt wild boar. Hunting them from a vehicle seems a lot safer. I'd feel really bad if an animal managed to kill me. Like I failed being the alpha predator. Really, it's tech that let's us kill these things at all. I have heard that you don't even want to shoot them with a lower caliber gun, it just pisses them off.

I was just watching something with large charging creatures, fictional, but it reminded me of a time when you'd plant your spear at an angle and hope the damn thing impaled itself and stopped. How much can you really trust a stick when a 500lb animal is charging you. The same tactics were applied to cavalry charges of course. That would have to be terrifying each and every time.

Well, take comfort in the fact that you wouldn't really feel anything if you got killed.

Not everyone dies quick, not even after horrific injuries.
