Yeah, never go near any wild pigs.
There's a great local story from back in the '90's.
A group of runners went out for their Sunday morning run, up the Maitai Valley towards the dam. When they got up there, they saw an aggressive boar on the other side of the river. Next thing they know, the damned thing is swimming across the river to attack them!
They gave chase and were scrambling up the bank when out of nowhere, the dam caretaker (Trevor) comes charging up in his truck... runs up to the boar... jumps on the friggin' thing and wrestles it down to the river, where he drowned it.
The man is a legend.
Since that day, the local running groups put on an annual event, where the prize is the Trevor Ruffell trophy which was made from the boar's jaw and tusks.
