I don't think it matters which would win in a fight or who is the baddest.
Hogs out reproduce bears 40:1 or more.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I was wondering. Who would be the baddest, if they weigh the same! Our black Bear populations is increasing and l was just wondering who was going to take over an area, When it comes to food! The hogs push around the deer. How much do the bears weigh in your area?

I don't know much about bears except that you wouldnt want to put one on the defensive. Hogs are the same way- if you corner one you better have a plan and dont stub your toe- they are lightning fast.

I'm know I'm a bad boy for saying it, but I wish we had both here. Me too!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Bears and hogs thrive down here in these swamps. Thier diets are so varied that they are not in 100% competition. I have seen many trail cam pics where bears caught pigs, some pigs 100 pounds or more, at deer feeders. Havent seen a pic yet of a hog catching a bear...

But....I'm sure a hungry bear woulsnt mind feasting on a mess of suckling pig. Baby pigs are fine eating as long as you have already slap tamed momma. Her sense of humor is no existent when it comes to those babies.

I'm know I'm a bad boy for saying it, but I wish we had both here. Me too! Jeff, we have both right here in Champaign County and in a lot of other Ohio counties too. Here's a boar my friend Don shot in Washington County, Ohio. Don has bears on his land too. Keith

Great pic Keith. We don't have hunt-able numbers though. I've never seen a wild hog here and only 2 bears over a 20 year period. It would be nice to have another larger critter to hunt, but I know that hogs are too destructive and we really don't have good bear habitat.

Hogs are the same way- if you corner one you better have a plan and dont stub your toe- they are lightning fast. And athletic. Watching a 200 lb boar jump a 48" panel in a trap is amazing. But, if you're talking confrontations, hogs can't climb! I'll edit to add a pic from my phone. This is an absolute trap wrecker. I'm estimating about 300 lbs
