How To
How to hunt wild hogs
Wild hogs are large animals found in North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Wild hogs are omnivores. They eat plants and small animals like rabbits, mice and birds. They usually feed at night. The gestation period is approximately six months. One piglet then emerges. A sow gives birth every two years. Wild hogs live alone, but sometimes they are part of a group called herds.
Wild boars are 200 pounds (90 kilograms) in weight. Their head length ranges between 10-12 inches (20-25 cm) and 20-30 inches (30-50 cm) respectively. Wild pigs have long legs with broad shoulders and short tails. They have a thick layer of fat under their skin.
They have excellent senses of smell and hearing. These senses allow them to spot danger and locate food. They can run upto 35 miles an hour (56 km/h), and can jump up to 15 feet (4m) in a single bound. They have sharp teeth and claws. They are aggressive when protecting themselves against predators.
Hunting wild animals is challenging because they are intelligent, fast and elusive. Hunting wild hogs requires careful observation. Hunting too soon can cause the animal to escape. If hunters are too late, the animal might die before it reaches shelter.
There are many different hunting methods that can be used to kill wild boars. The most common is shooting. This requires hunters to track down the animal and then wait until it comes into range. Another method is trapping. The trapping method involves placing traps close to water sources that the hogs can drink. A trap may contain a scent lure such as peanut butter and corn meal. Once the trap is released, the hunter will shoot the trapped pig.
Another method is snaring. To catch the pig, snaring uses a rope-covered noose. It works best when the pigs are caught during their mating season.
Other methods include poisoning, spearing and netting. Netting and spearing are methods of stopping pigs' breathing by placing a net around the neck or spearing them. Poisoning can be done by injecting poison into the body of the pig.
Wild hog hunters must be prepared to deal with the cold. For warmth, hunters may need to wear snowshoes in certain areas. To help track animals, some hunters have dogs.
