Boar hunting is an adventure that no self-respecting hunter will refuse, because it is fascinating and interesting. Among other things, the event will allow you to have a good time and increase your hunting skills and trophies.
What kind of beast is a wild boar?
Before hunting a particular animal, you need to find out what it is, what its habits and habits are. And in order for the wild boar hunt to be successful at night and day, you need to carefully prepare for it. The boar is a distant ancestor of a cloven-hoofed domestic pig. He has a denser, bristled, muscular body. Also, this animal has more developed sensory organs, which allow it to search for food even under snow and ground. The wild boar's favorite delicacy is acorns, so it can often be found where the oak grows. This type of animal prefers to live near rivers or ponds, in deciduous forests and in flat areas. The wild boar eats various roots, young shoots. When cereals or root crops ripen, he likes to visit agricultural fields. Autumn is the most favorable period for fishing. At this time, wild boar hunting in corn can be very successful, that is, the field where this plant has just been harvested. There always remains a lot of good for these artiodactyls, and you can profit.
A wild boar is a strong and hardy animal, but in the winter it is difficult for him to get food, especially in severe frosts. He prefers to eat at dusk or at night, and in the daytime to sleep in secluded places.
What are some ways to hunt wild boar?
There are several options to trap an aggressive beast. Here are the main ones:
- Wild boar hunting with corral. With this type of fishing, all participants are stretched by a chain and comb through the forest or thickets, thereby driving the boar to the hunters.
- Hunting from the towers. This event is organized in those places where the herds go wild to the feeding areas. This type of hunting is popular in winter, because during this period it is quite difficult to get food for oneself, so you can organize places where these animals will be bait.
- The third type is fishing with dogs, for example, hunting wild boar with huskies. This is a very popular option. Dogs attack the trail of the beast, find it and begin to bark it, thereby giving a sign to the hunter.
Wild boar corral with hounds
The hound is a very ancient breed. She came from the so-called pickling dogs. The hounds have no equal in their search for traces, the ability to unravel any hare or fox loops. In addition, this breed is hardy and very courageous - dogs never leave a catching beast and will always lead their master to prey.
Hunting with hounds for wild boar is fascinating and popular. This is a collective fishing, in which hunters who already know each other and their work participate. It is important to prepare the entire process of driving the beast: to arrange shooting numbers and correctly direct the dogs, which in these cases act as beaters, because it is from their barking boar that it seeks to leave.
Driven hunting
This business, on the one hand, is very interesting, and on the other, quite complicated. The most suitable breed for such an action as wild boar hunting is a husky. This is the most valuable breed of hunting dogs, since the development and consolidation of their distinctive qualities has been going on for a long time. Huskies are universal, you can hunt with them from spring until the close of the season. With these dogs you can catch other types of game. This breed perfectly takes a trace, pursues, finds and stops the beast.
Driving wild boar hunting with husks is a popular and beloved type of fishing. Especially this occupation is good in the winter. On the snow cover all traces of animals are perfectly visible, and an experienced hunter can easily understand them. Of course, it is not necessary to exclude the quick-wittedness of a wild boar - he will look for places with bare land and try to leave in these areas, but his chances are slim. Excellent dog flair only contributes to a successful hunt. Where an experienced hunter misses the beast, the husky will always hear and smell it with his nose.
Dog training
To prepare puppies for hunting wild boar is necessary only after they turn one year old. The one-year-old dog begins to feel its strength, this is a very important point, since the pursuit of animals requires physical stress and endurance.
The pedigree and the roots play an important role in raising a dog. This breed has innate qualities - this is the absence of fear, determination. But willpower, adequacy, devotion and obedience form only the process of education.
Dog training should be carried out in those places where boars of the family usually live, because soon a boar driven hunt will take place in this place, therefore this is an important point. Laika needs to show fresh traces of the boar, in every way to encourage her movement. And when there is a collision or meeting with another animal, you need to motivate the dog to pursue and race. A good effect in education is given by general training with more mature breeds, which already have experience in hunting wild boars. Laika must be hardy and healthy, have a clear and loud voice. The skill of the future hunter should be honed to the smallest detail, since the boar is a strong and merciless animal, and if the dog is inexperienced and inept, this can lead to serious injuries or even death.
What is the hunt for wild boar?
The dog must restrain the beast until the moment when the hunter can make a shot. This is the hunt for wild boar with likes, that is, the essence of fishing. Some people want the dogs themselves to bring the beast to the hunter, but this is not entirely correct, because it is much easier to reach the place where the husk drove the boar.
It is important for a hunter to remember that it is necessary to shoot a boar with one shot, and not shoot at it repeatedly. This way of fishing can cause you to hook the dog. Very often when a person appears, the behavior of animals changes, this also applies to huskies. They can rush at a boar more aggressively, thereby driving it to a more convenient place for a shot. If it was not very successful, and it was only possible to injure a wild boar, then a properly trained dog is able to slow down in every way, and possibly stop the wounded animal. Anything can happen on the hunt, but it can be said with certainty that several huskies are better at handling this task than one.
What is important to know?
To hunt wild boar with huskies turned out successful, you need to consider some features:
- Know the exact location of the boar family.
- To know that wild boars will try to get away from their pursuers in places richer in various bushes and thickets, therefore it is advisable to arrange numbers in these areas.
During the hunt, difficulties may arise. There are many different smells in the forest, and dogs can lead everyone on the wrong track. The choice of the wrong reference point can be triggered by the boar itself. He can leave the old paths at a time when they are looking for him and waiting on new paths.
Ways to find the beast
The places of the daytime lying of the beast can be difficult to access for humans:
- Swamps, elani, overgrown with dense vegetation.
- Young coniferous shoots.
- Old spruce trees with thickets, undergrowth.
They also love places where there are many anthills. There you can find a lone male. He has enough tricks to hide in places where no hunter can reach him. When you plan to hunt for wild boar with huskies, you do not need to bypass the lone stacks of straw - this is a favorite place for animals to lie in the daytime. The boar is able to linger in such a place and in case of danger to hide.
