The free range feral boar is a very elusive animal. Their peak activity is at night
so getting a shot at one during the daylight is very difficult. However, a mature boar shot in a free range environment
during the daylight is an awsome trophy.
Our hunting dates are February through September. The rest of the year is closed for deer season.
We hunt Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday leaving the rest of the week for the boars to feel relaxed when coming to
the feeders. We have elevated house blinds, double and single tree stands. The bow stands are located
15 to 25 yards from the feeders and may be hunted with either a firearm or a bow. The elevated house stands are located
50 to 75 yards from the feeders and may be hunted only with a firearm.
Wild boars are not difficult
to kill. Penetration, shot placement and exit wounds are critical for the recovery of the animal. For
this reason I recommend fixed blade broad heads and heavy for the caliber well constructed bullets. Most deer rifles
will work fine for smaller boars but, since the possibility of shooting a 400+ pound boar exists I suggest a
270 Winchester with 150 grain bullets as a minimum rifle combination and a 60 pound bow with fixed blade broad
heads as a minimum bow setup. Please click the following link and read, Anatomy of The Wild Boar for a diagram and explanation of a wild boars anatomy.
Hunters
will be transported to and from their stand by our guides. Please bring a small flashlight or head light for the
trip to and from your stand. All hunting will be done from the stands. Hunters are required to stay at their
stands unless they have contacted their guide by radio (provided) or cell phone and made arrangements to be picked up
or track a boar.
