How To
How to hunt wild Hogs
Wild hogs, which are large, can be found in North America and Asia as well as Europe. Wild hogs are omnivores. They eat plants and small animals like rabbits, mice and birds. They usually eat at night. The gestation period is approximately six months. One piglet then emerges. A sow gives birth every two years. Wild hogs are often solitary but can live in groups known as herds.
Wild boars weigh in at around 200 pounds (90 kg). Their head length ranges between 10-12 inches (20-25 cm) and 20-30 inches (30-50 cm) respectively. Wild pigs have short tails, long legs and broad shoulders. They have a thick layer under their skin of fat.
They are very sensitive to smell, hearing, sight, and touch. These senses are used to find food and detect danger. They can run up to 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) and jump distances of up to 15 feet (4 m). They have sharp teeth and claws. They can be aggressive in defending themselves from predators.
Hunting wild animals is challenging because they are intelligent, fast and elusive. Hunters must stalk them carefully. 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 types of hunting methods used to kill wild hogs. The most common is shooting. This requires hunters to track down the animal and then wait until it comes into range. Trapping is another option. The trapping method involves placing traps close to water sources that the hogs can drink. Many traps include a scent lure, such as corn meal and peanut butter. When the trap is opened, the hunter shoots a trapped pig.
Another option is snaring. Snaring uses a noose made out of rope to catch the pig. It works best if the pig is caught during its 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 involves injecting poison into the pig's body.
Hunters who wish to hunt wild hogs need to be prepared for the cold weather. In some areas, hunters wear snowshoes to keep warm. To help track animals, some hunters have dogs.
