How To
How to hunt wild hogs
Large animals, wild hogs can be found across North America, Africa and Asia. Wild hogs can eat small animals and plants, including birds, insects and rabbits. They feed mostly at night. The gestation period lasts around six months, after which one piglet is born. Every two years, a sow gives birth. Although wild hogs are usually solitary, they can sometimes live in groups called herds.
The average weight of a wild boar is 200 pounds (90 kg). Their head length is approximately 10 to 12 inches (30-25 cm), and their bodies range from 20 to 30 in (50-75cm). Wild pigs have short tails, long legs and broad shoulders. They have a thick layer of fat under their skin.
They have excellent senses of smell and hearing. These senses are used to find food and detect danger. They can run upto 35 mph (56 km/h) at speeds of up to 14 mph and jump upto 15 feet (4 m) from a distance of just under 4 m. They have sharp teeth. They are aggressive when protecting themselves against predators.
Hunting wild hogs is hard because they are intelligent, fast, and elusive. Hunters must stalk them carefully. Hunting too soon can cause the animal to escape. If hunters shoot too late, the animal may die before it reaches cover.
There are many ways to hunt wild hogs. The most commonly used method is shooting. This requires hunters hunting to find the animal, then waiting until it comes within range. Trapping is another method. Trapping is the practice of placing traps in areas where the hogs are likely to drink. Many traps include a scent lure, such as corn meal and peanut butter. The hunter then shoots the trapped pork after the trap has been sprung.
Another method is snaring. To catch the pig, snaring uses a rope-covered noose. It works best if the pig is caught during its mating season.
You can also use poisoning, spearing, or netting. To stop pigs from breathing, spearing and netting involve putting a spear or net through the neck of the animal. Poisoning refers to injecting poison in the pig's neck.
Hunters who wish to hunt wild hogs need to be prepared for the cold weather. Hunting in colder areas may require the use of snowshoes. Hunting dogs may be used to track animals.
