How to hunt wild hogs

Large animals, wild hogs can be found across North America, Africa and Asia. Wild hogs eat both vegetation and small animals, such as birds, fish, mice, rabbits and mice. They usually feed at night. One piglet is born after the gestation period of approximately six months. A sow can give birth once every two years. Wild hogs are often solitary but can live in groups known as herds.

Wild boars average a weight of 200 pounds (90kg). Their head length is approximately 10 to 12 inches (30-25 cm), and their bodies range from 20 to 30 in (50-75cm). Wild pigs have short tails, long legs and broad shoulders. They have a thick layer of fat under their skin.

They have a very strong sense of smell, hearing, and sight. They use their senses to identify danger and find food. They can run upto 35 mph (56 km/h) at speeds of up to 14 mph and jump upto 15 feet (4 m) from a distance of just under 4 m. They have sharp teeth and claws. They are aggressive when defending themselves against predators.

Hunting wild animals is challenging because they are intelligent, fast and elusive. They must be carefully tracked by hunters. Hunting too soon can cause the animal to escape. If hunters shoot too late, the animal may die before it reaches cover.

There are many methods of hunting wild hogs. The most commonly used method is shooting. This involves hunting the animal down and waiting for it to come within range. Another method is trapping. Setting traps near water sources is another method of trapping. 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 is best to catch the pig during its mating season.

Other methods include poisoning, spearing and netting. Netting and spearing involve placing a net or spear through the pig's neck to stop its breathing. Poisoning refers to injecting poison in the pig's neck.
