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 vegetation and small animals such as rabbits, mice, birds, insects, and fish. They usually eat at night. The gestation period is approximately six months. One piglet then emerges. Every two years, a sow will give birth to a piglet. Wild hogs are solitary animals, although they sometimes live together in groups called herds.

Wild boars average a weight of 200 pounds (90kg). Their head length averages from 10 to 12 inches (25-30 cm), while their body length ranges from 20 to 30 inches (50-75 cm). Wild pigs are long-legged, have broad shoulders and short tails. They have a thick layer under their skin of fat.

They have a very strong sense of smell, hearing, and sight. These senses allow them to spot danger and locate food. They can run upto 35 MPH (56 Km/h) and jump upto 15 Ft (4 m). They have sharp teeth. They can be aggressive in defending themselves from predators.

Hunting wild hogs are difficult because they are fast, intelligent, and elusive. They must be carefully tracked by hunters. If hunters shoot too early, the animal may 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 commonly used method is shooting. Hunting requires that the animal be tracked down and then waited until it is within range. Another method is trapping. Trapping is the practice of placing traps in areas where the hogs are likely to drink. Traps often include a scent lure like corn meal mixed with peanut butter. Once the trap is released, the hunter will shoot the trapped pig.

Snaring, another method, is also an option. Snaring uses a noose made out of rope to catch the pig. It is most effective if the pigs are caught in its mating period.

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 want to hunt wild hogs must be ready for cold temperatures. Hunting in colder areas may require the use of snowshoes. Some hunters carry dogs to help them track the animals.
