Good question! I'm sure it has more to do with scent than anything. The boar will put off a stronger odor. I could be wrong but I doubt a dog would associate the scent of a boar with aggressiveness. Just track boars only because he is looking for a fight.

It could also have something to do with boars trailing a sounder...waiting for the sows to come in....Which...in areas with a healthy hog population is what most boars do. In this case...possibly?....a dog could cut an older track and have the boar in front of him...as well as the sounder. Or...a dog could cut a fresher track and have only the sounder in front of him and the boar behind him. I guess this theory would lean towards the nose of a dog...hot or cold. Just a possibility.
