I would leave the big sow alone and just shoot weaners when you need one.
Remember a story years ago from a bloke who started sheparding on Montrose at the back of Culverden ( Montrose holds the Canterbury record for heaviest Boar 392 lb, just heading off the Dove river at 385lb - both caught in traps) He was walking back down a track in the dark after shooting rabbits and could hear snuffling noises gaining on him, fearing the worst he let strip with the shotty in the direction of the snuffling and legged it back to the shepards quarters. In the morning he went back to see if he had shot anything, he had, a very large Boar.....Hedgehog !!!
