I see them in the same area,the boar is looking to get laid,if he takes out the cubs mama goes back in heat so he can breed her,If your in the spring!they cross paths alot

That is also why sows with cubs are so on edge and willing to attack so easily.

My advice - take it or leave it...  If you hear jaw popping, put the binos down and calmly exit stage left ASAP!  That's like driving along and having the oil pressure drop, and the engine temperature rise... engine failure is eminent!  if you hear huffing, stomping and jaw popping, an attack is eminent!  These are warning signs that she does not want you in the area.

If that ever happens to me again, I'll definately be more cautious.  Especially since I just read this horrifying tale in Game & Fish about a Pennsylvania bowhunter getting mauled by a sow with cubs.  It definately made see how differently things could have turned out. But on the other hand, I've always had crazy luck when it comes to dangerous critters.  Either way, the story of the bowhunter's ordeal sent a cold chill up my spine. :yike:
