Wild pigs may be captured further in the following fashion: The nets are fixed for them at the entrances of woody glens,342 in coppices and hollows, and on screes, where there are outlets into rank meadow-lands, marshes, and clear pools. 343 The appointed person mounts guard at the nets with his boar-spear, while the others work the dogs, exploring the best and likeliest spots. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Ergo, he will not voluntarily get under those feet; but if involuntarily he should come to such a pass, the same means341 of helping each the other to get up again will serve, as in the case of the male animal; and when he has regained his legs, he must ply the boar-spear vigorously till she too has died the death. ❋ Unknown (2007)

A short boar-spear, with a broad and bright steel head, also reclined against the back of his chair, which served him, when he walked abroad, for the purposes of a staff or of a weapon, as chance might require. ❋ Unknown (2004)

Bewildered, Justyn looked around and saw Vere coming back to the square with a determined scowl on his face and a boar-spear in his hands, and seized his arm. ❋ Lackey, Mercedes (1997)
