How smart are pigs?

[Tajue17]

I went on my first spot n stock down at hog heaven some time ago and I originally had the impression it was going to be an easy hunt ,,,,,those dang things are smarter than deer and they have better noses too! but  thinking back if it wasn't the fire ants, gnats, wasps, trying not to get bit by snakes or baby alligators thrashing thru the water scaring the crap out of me all the time it was the dang hogs who sent me home feeling like a complete failure

Hogs can certainly make you up your game.

Many people that don't think hogs are hyper intelligent are basing there opinions on encounters with  young hogs of up to 2 years old. 

My favorite North American big game species is a 4+ year old hog. I consider them the most intelligent animal in the world.  Furthermore, I don't think any animal is even close as a second place.  There are old hogs that frequent many heavily hunted areas that will never fall to a hunter.  On a scale of intelligent behavior combined with vulnerability to hunting, a 5 year old hog is a 10. A mature whitetail buck is a 5- at best.
