Whether you’ve never gone boar hunting or you’ve tried a few times and never caught anything, we’re here to help. Boar hunting can be one of the most fun and exciting experiences you will ever have, but it can become frustrating when you fail to hit, or even spot a boar. Take advantage of the following tips and you should be able to bag your first boar in no time at all.
An important thing to understand about boars is that they are very territorial. Unlike certain animals, they will often engage with people who encroach on their territory, rather than run in the other direction. If you spot a boar in its territory, giving it a nice call may even encourage it to come your way.
Of course, bringing along the right firearm for boar hunting is very important. Because boars can be aggressive, you will want to have something that can quickly fire multiple shots. A high-powered rifle or pistol is a good choice, because you don’t want to be stuck after one shot with an angry boar coming your way.
Keep in mind that boars sometimes play dead. So even if you think you’ve taken one down, it may be a good idea to take another shot from a distance before you approach the body.
These are just a few tips to help you get started when it comes to boar hunting. There is a lot more to learn, and we’re happy to guide you along the way. Keep checking back with our blog for more hunting tips!
