Types of wild boar hunting: Wild boar hunting

Corral hunting is the most popular type of wild boar hunting. A chain of beaters drives the beast out onto a row of shooters, located by numbers, each in its place. The huntsman helps in hunting, knowing how and where the herd feeds, where it stops for the day, and competently carries out the corral. In this hunt, it is very important to follow the instructions of the hunter (gamekeeper) and remain motionless on your number. Any movements and sounds will scare the beast away. Wild boars go through the densest bushes and strong places, so that's where the numbers need to be placed. As a rule, a boar in a pen moves very quickly, trying to follow its own trail, so the hunter needs increased attention and readiness for a quick shot.

Corral hunting has rules and guidelines that will make it safer for the participants themselves:

Since the view in the mountains is limited, each room should know where the other room is located.;

Be sure to wear bright hats or headbands to identify yourself.;

You can't leave the room on your own, you can get into the line of fire.;

Shoot only at a visible target;

Shooting is conducted in the area indicated by the huntsman or senior hunter.

Boar hunting from the approach, skradom.

This type of hunting will appeal to those who like to hunt down prey. The main thing here is the strategy and knowledge of the animal's habits. Hunting from the approach requires special skills from the hunter: the ability to track down an animal, sneak up unnoticed and make a winning shot. And you need to be able to do it! If you are waiting for the beast at the bait area, the secret weapon is tactics, patience and attentiveness.

Approach hunting also has rules:

Don't make a sound while waiting for the beast.;

Listen carefully to every rustle, any noise may indicate the approach of an animal.;

And remember that the most effective time to hunt from the approach is at night.

Wild boar hunting from a tower (warehouse)

This type of hunting is based on attracting a herd of wild boars for bait, or waiting for them at permanent feeding grounds. Sitting is carried out on high ground. These are structures that are installed independently or fixed on a tree. Towers and warehouses are installed near the feeding grounds. Most often, the huntsman puts food in the evening, and you can get up to the tower an hour before sunset. Wild boars are very careful when entering the feeding area and can stand on the edge of the forest for a long time, carefully studying the surrounding environment. The main thing is patience and the absence of noise. After that, you can already get the coveted trophy.

Features of wild boar hunting: Animal habits

The boar's movements are clumsy and fast. Vision is poorly developed: the animal does not distinguish colors. But his taste, sense of smell and hearing do not let him down. A wild boar cannot see a person standing 15 meters away from it, but it can hear or smell it! The means to mask the smell will help in this. The behavior of the boar is cautious, they are irritable, they attack in case of danger.

How to find and track a wild boar:

First, talk to the gamekeeper.

This way you can find out information about the boar's feeding grounds, where the herd feeds, rests, and where the transition trails are.;

Explore the terrain, the topography of the entire territory, and view the trails along which the navigator can help.;

Study what the feeding grounds and resting places of the wild boar look like.

When a wild boar is found, you should move only when the herd has started feeding.

At this point, they relax their guard; Please note:

If the boars are wagging their tails at the time of feeding, then the animals are calm and not alarmed. It is necessary to approach the exit point of the beast very carefully, not to make a lot of noise and use disguise.;

Camouflage suits and camouflage hunter suits with a silent top layer will help you with this. Also use the surrounding area for camouflage: trees, bushes and rocks.
