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

And a host of tips for a successful hunt
