Probably, there is no hunter who would not like to come face to face with a boar. The boar is the most desired trophy for all hunters, and at the same time the most dangerous beast, after the bear, which you can hunt in our forests.
An adult can reach a mass of up to 160 kilograms. This animal vehemently protects its life, and especially its offspring. Of particular interest is the driven hunt in winter. Hunting a wild boar alone is a completely unacceptable option. Only a cohesive hunters team can succeed. Boar hard to track down. In most cases, he does not reveal his presence. Be careful in the period when the female walks with her brood. Boars move in packs. In the pack, there is usually always a male – cleaver, female and brood.
Boars feed on vegetation, and do not disdain young oaks. In autumn and summer, boars feed on acorns. Animals in the summer heat often come to the reservoirs and collapse in the mud. So the boar’s body does not heat up, and the animal feels comfortable. On the places of boar sites there are always beds. Boars literally trample everything in their path. Aggressive boar depends on the time of year. When boars mate, females deserve attention and therefore are very aggressively disposed.
Driving wild boar is conducted in the winter. A certain square is selected with the animal on it and the wild boar is driven from the shelter. Not one or two people, but a whole team of hunters participate in such a hunt. The boar is driven by snowstorms. Ahead of the dogs go – hounds. The task of the dogs is to identify the animal, but the hunters continue to drive the boar. In most cases, the pig is simply driven to a state of insensitivity. The animal is surrounded on all sides, and an accurate shot decides the outcome of the hunt.
In winter, wild boar hunting is carried out in the footsteps and with the help of dogs, most often huskies. To dump a healthy animal you will need a 12 caliber hunting rifle. It uses only the bullets – zhakan or impeller, as a canister, you can hook your own dogs. It is necessary to take into account that the skin of a wild boar is very durable and it is quite problematic to pierce such skin with a shot.
However, more and more often now the main working tool of the hunter is a rifle. Sniper rifle is the best option. In winter, you will need a wide ski. The snow in the first decade is very soft and, without skis, you will constantly fall through. Hunting wild boar with likes is a fascinating activity, but be careful, since ancient times, wild boar hunting has been considered the most dangerous, for example – bear hunting has always been the third most dangerous, and the second is moose hunting. So increased caution in this case clearly does not hurt.
Boars live in any forests that have oak trees. In view of the fact that acorns are the most favorite treat for boars, the animal will always be in the forest. In the summer there is protection from the heat and constant food, but in the winter in the forest you can enjoy the bark of trees and young trees. The forest for the boar is a home.
When you go through the woods in search of a trophy, then be careful, do not make noise. Noise immediately alarming boar. You can lead a waiting game. The meaning of such a hunt is. What do you watch for a detected animal in an optical sight? You should shoot when you are sure that the animal is in the best position for you.
There are cases when the boar is in motion and it is impossible to shoot at it. In such a situation can help you partner. You can deliberately break the branch. Then the boar will stop and listen. Here you can not hesitate to squeeze the trigger. For better confidence, you can make two shots in a row. Boars need to shoot under the shoulder blade or in the side, as these places are the most accessible and less protected.
Most importantly, remember that it is better to walk on a boar with a partner, because this animal is very dangerous. If the boar rushes at you, and due to uncertain circumstances a misfire has occurred, the timely help of a friend can change the outcome of the situation.
Currently, boars are becoming less and less. This is due to the untimely shooting. Be kind to nature, and then she will reciprocate. In order to kill an adult boar, you will need to purchase a license. In each region, the license varies depending on the concentration of boar in the area.
General shooting is not observed, but it does not stop poachers. Boar meat is very tasty. On the black market, wild boar is given out for ordinary pig meat, but what demand. Perhaps it will take a lot of time and boars will not remain. Restrictions and bans on the slaughter of this animal are imposed on many sites.
