Um … that's kinda dangerous. Especially if they're the furry, tusky sort of wild pigs and/or there are piglets about.

You know why the boar hunters of yore had the cross-piece on their spears, don't you?

It was to keep several hundred pounds of angry pork from running up the rest of the shaft and killing whoever was still gripping it once they'd been stuck. That's the sort of ornery cussedness you just do not mess with.
