Boar damage

-

‘Mugged by Boars’ [ FT412:21] states that boars are damaging cars. I wonder how many boars have been damaged by cars and I suspect that the figure will be a lot higher than the other way around. But just as car crime means crimes against cars but not the far more common and deadly crimes by cars.

As for bullets bouncing off boars – they won’t. Even a .22 rifle bullet will go into a boar, while more powerful guns like highpowere­d rifles will go straight through and lengthways too!
