Im told the veering off is to align their teeth for a "slashing cut"? Of course it could be that they veer off at the end because they see the size difference between you and them (or some such excuse not to attack). Personally I subscribe to the theory that "I was gonna get you MFer; but I spared you THIS TIME"

Im not sure the THRILL of Boar hunting can be understood by anyone who hasnt been charged while on foot. Everybody "gets" a Lion charge or even a Bear attack; but for those who havent faced it, a Wild Boar is just Porky Pig's country cousin. Screw them! Hahaha
