The Excitement of Hunting Wild Boar - Outdoors - Hunting

Wild boar hunts provide exciting alternatives to other types of hunting. Boars are strong cousins of the pig that live in the wild. They make excellent eating and excellent hunting. Hunting boar provides a hunter with excitement and danger, a chance to show skill and opportunities for adventure.

Quite simply, boars are dangerous creatures that will attack a human. Hunters that simply wound a boar could be in trouble. Boars charge when wounded and are strong enough to hurt, maim or kill a hunter, hence the danger and excitement. When a hunter shoots a deer and does not kill it the deer runs. When a hunter shoots a boar and does not kill it the boar charges, often with dire consequences.

Hunting boar requires shooting skill and sometimes, the use of dogs. As already mentioned, wounded boars charge. Hunters with great shooting skill do not wound. Great shooting and killing is important because it eliminates the possibility of being charged. Another way to help eliminate the possibility of being charged when hunting wild boars is the use of dogs. Properly trained hunting dogs assist in hunting the boar and if the shooter only wounds the boar, dogs keep the boar occupied, preventing the possibility of being charged. Using dogs to hunt requires another skill set for hunters to learn.
