LMAO.  Well said.  If you are in fact looking to go boar hunting, I would HIGHLY recommend that your crossbar be functional and very secure.  I've watched a wild boars (usually the female sows) run a soldier up on top of his HUMVEE after he shot the damn thing 3 times in the chest.  The hills of northern Kosovo are crawling with them because they have no natural predators.  They are VERY protective of their young and won't stop a charge until the hit you or the object you got on top of to get away from them.  BTW, they can jump fairly high for their size too.  That sow I mentioned almost made the hood of the HUMMER. Scared the crap out of that kid.  It took two more shots to bring it down.  One more in the chest and the last shot in the head although the head shot didn't actually kill it.  The round bounced off its skull and knocked it out until it bled out.  Good eats though.

Was gonna suggest just shooting the silly damn thing;
But then you'd have to make the gun.
