That picture looks like a feral hog. I'm not sure what kind of disposition they'd have or how dangerous they'd be to hunt. I've gone dove hunting in Texas and had to watch out for javalinas. That was years ago and far away. When I think wild pig I think of the big honkin all-wild brutes not mingled with domestic hogs. I live in the high desert and haven't heard anything hereabouts but I'm going to ask about it.
I met an Alabama guy who got to telling me about hunting wild boars. He ran them to ground using rottweillers I think and described the armor he put on his dogs for protection. After he ran the boars to ground he somehow live trapped them. Alive he said they sold for something like $20,000 a pop or more depending on the weight.
I wouldn't dream of hunting javalinas, forget something a lot whole bigger and even more dangerous. The Honolulu zoo had a "tame" wild Hawaiian boar named Sylvester, and some English lady would come to the zoo several times a week bringing several loaves of Wonder bread and feed "Sylvestah" by hand. His jaws sounded like cinderblocks crashing together and I have no idea how he missed taking half a hand off. Touching him was like petting granite with thick black twigs growing out of it. Sylvestah was a wuss and a giant and you could tell he and the English lady were pretty keen on each other. Bread probably had something to do with that.
Now I imagine something the size of Sylvester with a nasty temper, lightning reflexes, moving much faster than any human being, and a tendency to solve problems permanently as in dead and smashed to jelly. Maybe even taking a few nibbles of my carcass before he leaves since pigs are omnivorous and all that bad mad attitude just made him real hungry. The outfit you'd need for that kind of hunting would be pricey and make a lot of noise. Anti-tank rounds sound appealing under the circumstances but they might be tough to get.
One thing about that kind of hunting experience, you'd certainly be pickled with adrenaline for a couple of days after the encounter and it would certainly make for some bodacious bragging rights.
