Von der hinteren Coverseite

If you’ve ever complained that hunting season doesn’t last long enough, you’ll love wild boar. From dangerous close-up shots behind dogs to quiet stalks in the deep woods, hunting the wild hog provides some of the most thrilling action anywhere. And because the wild boar is an introduced species that often wreaks havoc on native habitat, most state game agencies encourage hunters to take these adaptable creatures. For the hunter, that means nearly unlimited opportunities year-round across North America. In this complete guide, veteran boar hunter Todd Triplett details everything you need to know to take these tasty game animals, including:
Distribution and history
Scouting for prime habitat, bedding areas, and food sources
Interpreting sign like tracks, scat, rubs, and wallows
Hunting over bait, still-hunting, and hunting with hounds
Special considerations for hunting in the off-season
Pursuing wild boar across North America and around the world
Hunting javelina, the wild boar’s distant relative in the Southwest
Chasing the warthog in Africa, the ultimate in hog hunting
Preparing wild boar for the table and taxidermist
And a host of tips for a successful hunt
Based on the knowledge gained from a lifetime of hunting, The Complete Book of Wild Boar Hunting is an unsurpassed introduction to a fascinating sport.
