My only real experience with a sow/cub with a boar in the area had me following the trails in the area.
I found a solid "Marker Tree" that showed years of abuse.
.
It is not breeding season, and a sow with cubs shouldn't be attractive to a boar at this time of year.
(Again, I am not an expert, although I pretend to be on the internet)
.
I would walk the trails and look for more sign.
.
If you find a marker tree, you have a good spot to just wait.
.
Bear have fairly large travel routes in their territories, and they often overlap.
.
If you can find marker trees, that is from a dominant animal.
.
Bear often use the same trails just because..
.
But, they often use the same trails because it is a frequent travel route.
.
I doubt that the boar was actively hunting a cub this time of year.
It's just not worth the effort to seek a confrontation.
.
Somewhere along that trail their territories overlap.
.
Again, I am not an expert, but I read a lot..
And I see bear fairly often.
.
Usually when it is not season.
.
But honestly I don't see a boar actively hunting cubs.
.
Even the one on Long Island that they had to remove only killed them in the early spring/late winter.
.
I recommend reading Ralph Flowers "The education of a Bear Hunter"
.
His history is not really applicable to modern methods, but their use of main trails and ability to find travel routes and crossing points...
.
If you have multiple bear showing up on an unbaited trail....
.
Walk both directions.
Figure out why they are using that same trail.
.
Why!
Is the biggest question.
.
I guarantee it is not for a one time predatory meal.
.
If you have multiple bear on the same camera without bait...
.
Find the reason.
.
I recommend asking Doug Boze.
I wish Billythekidrock was still on this forum.
