I have seen them do both. I guess it all depends how much they have been shot at and relate the blast to the end result DEAD!.
Hogs are a very smart animal. They can be educated to have sharper instincts then any varmit or whitetail that has been called in by calls or rattling.
As far as table fare well, I've ate whitetail, mule deer, antelope, axis, nalgai, moose, even a dam bear all the ways you can think of prepared by the so-called best in the west cooks and I have to tell ya, I'd feed it all to the hounds, but I would fight a gut shot grizzly with a dull knife for the hog.
Look under Mike/Tx's profile and the link to his pic's, there are a few that we have taken. We have literally shot them as they have ran by at 20mph+ hitting your leg and clicking their jaws and teeth as they go by. And we have shot at them up to 1350yds. The farthest confirmed kill was one that I made a couple of weeks ago at 676 with my 270am shooting the 195's.
