Sjeez - just keep away from the females when they have young and also steer clear when the boars are in rut. We have loads of them around here and I am never bothered by them. They are in hiding during the day (spruces and holly shrubs for resting places) and will mostly be nocturnally active - unless fed by humans - off course.
A bit of controlled culling won't hurt either. Numbers where sharply up the last two years, but I spoke a couple of companion hunters yesterday and they told me that where they hunt in Belgium and Germany, the population has been in decline during the last winter. They even cancelled a couple of planned hunts.
