It is an incident of no little importance to a new report by France Bleu Armorique, while hunting accidents are the subject of significant media coverage and debate vehemently for the death of a mountain biker shot dead in the Haute-Savoie in mid-October.

A hunter was seriously injured in Ille-et-Vilaine during an encounter with a wild boar Sunday, 28. The man had pulled out his knife from the face of the animal but would have stabbed himself.

According to the elements reported by the local radio station, the victim, 32-year-old, was apparently in the process of tracking down this animal, but to walk in the forest with his wife and his dogs. It was then that the boar appeared. The latter proved to be aggressive.
