The article is devoted to the study of subtleties in such athe question of how to hunt for a wild boar. We will talk about how the preparation for this complex process is taking place, what rules should be followed during the hunt, what methods and features exist. We hope that the material will be of interest to beginning hunters, who are only going to go to the forest for valuable prey.
Undoubtedly, the boar hunting is often verycomplex and dangerous, but also interesting, so it often attracts young hunters - especially as the boar is considered a valuable and expensive trophy, for the extraction of which you need a lot of luck and luck. However, it is worth noting that it is better to track a wild boar only to experienced trappers, since it is a dangerous beast that can be aggressive and spiteful at the moment of danger.
If you really firmly decided thatA dangerous lesson is suitable for you, then training should be done as carefully as possible. First of all, having determined the most suitable location (by the way, the boar is hunted almost all over the world), it is necessary to find out the periods when hunters come out on this beast. The hunting period begins in August and lasts usually until the very end of February. Young individuals are harvested from late September to January. If they hunt with dogs, the terms are reduced until October. However, many farms can afford to earn captured trophies for a high price all year round.
It is important to remember that practically only from the rightorganization and training depends on the course of the hunt for wild boar. It will be useful to talk with the local huntsman and find out from him the peculiarities of the behavior of the herd in the selected territory. Then you should study it yourself - to know what direction the beast can choose to escape. If there is no network of trampled paths in the territory, then the success of hunting sharply decreases, chasing after a wild boar over a brownback - the task is not simple. In such a situation, the hunter himself runs the risk of becoming a prey, because the sececail is an intelligent animal, quick-witted and not at all as unwieldy as it seems at first glance. This is only an appearance, which many hunters cost health, but in especially difficult cases and lives.
So, after you have studied the terrain, it is necessary to choose the most appropriate kind of wild boar hunting, we will discuss them in more detail below.
At different times of the year, the methods of extracting the sneakers are naturally different. Let's talk about how the hunt for a wild boar takes place in the winter.
If the event is planned to participate immediatelya few people, the most effective method will be hunting with a pen. The essence of the method is that hunters are divided into riflemen, who disperse according to the locations specified in the plan of the terrain, and the beaters. The latter go to the original point of the pen to guide the boar into the guns of the shooters. This kind of hunt is best spent in the winter, around noon. The advantages of this method are that the hunter does not need special endurance or quickness - the main thing is to be able to shoot well at a sufficiently large distance, at least from seven to eight meters. Even better, if the hunting for wild boar people will help the husky. They will bravely drive the beast in the right direction, and the event will be more successful.
It is worth saying that participation in the hunting of dogs willit is extremely appropriate, especially if they are specially trained on a wild boar. It is recommended to take several dogs with you at the same time and give the main role in the extraction of the beast to them. But at the same time one should not take too many hounds (they are the best in this kind of hunting): they can get excited and get directly to the fangs of a furious sekach.
Usually hunting for wild boar with husky passesin the following way. The hunter with the pack comes to the animal's habitat and removes the hawks from the leash when they discover fresh tracks. On them the dogs rush to the place where the boar is now, and then drive it towards the owner. At this moment, the hunter needs to be as attentive as possible and watch exactly where the shovel will run - the dogs are notified of this with a loud bark. When they are silent, this means that the boar is cornered, and here comes the turn of the hunter. The beast must be found as quickly as possible so that he does not have time to notice the person, and also did not injure any of the dogs, and shoot them.
Hunters often wonder which bulletbetter on a wild boar. Of course, much depends on the specific preferences and experience, but often for such hunting choose bullets "Polev" or "Tandem". The main thing is that the projectile weighs at least thirty-five grams, and some hunters generally prefer to use buckshot.
There is the safest kind of hunting for wild boar -from the tower. It is often used at any time of the year, if the terrain allows, and the hunter is not yet experienced enough to face the bumper face to face - these are extremely aggressive animals. Not only that in this case the frenzied wounded beast will not be able to reach a man if he decides to attack him (this often happens when hunting on land), but the hunter himself will hardly be able to confuse the man and beast from a small height above the ground level. Unfortunately, such situations are not so rare as we would like, and to suffer from the bullet of a comrade is more real than it seems. Again, the most important thing when hunting a wild boar from a tower is to shoot perfectly. Otherwise, the beast can leave without being wounded in vital organs - the heart, head or neck, then you risk being left without prey if you do not follow the wild boar yourself to finish it off. Recall that this can be extremely dangerous.
All these ways of hunting are good for a bright timedays. However, the boar is an animal at night. If he does not bother, he prefers to sleep and feed in the same place: like many other ungulates, he is a big conservative by nature. Only a significant cause for anxiety can force him to change his favorite habitat and go in search of a new, safer place.
So, boars are mostly active in the dark.For fat, that is, feeding, they prefer to go out with the sunset, and for a day they leave almost imperceptible paths to their rookery, which is organized in an almost impassable place for a person. Accordingly, experienced hunters choose nocturnal hunting methods, since this is a much greater excitement.
The best option for mining a wild boar in the dark will be this one. Of course, it requires a lot of experience and skill from the hunter, as it is both complex and extremely dangerous.
Most often hunting for wild boar from the approach is carried out ingrassy field, where these animals usually feed. In addition, there it is easiest to notice. Sometimes hunting is also carried out in the daytime, then additional lighting is not needed, but if you go out on a wild boar at night, then you need to stock up on special equipment - an under-barrel flashlight. It can be attached to the rifle using a bracket. More expensive and convenient option will be to use a thermal imager, with which the beast will be seen almost as day.
Естественно, к зверю необходимо подбираться extremely cautiously, almost silently - for this, the clothes should not contain elements of rustling fabric. In the case of hunting a wild boar in winter, it is extremely wise to use a white camouflage robe. It should be remembered that the boar has a keen ear, since its vision is bad enough. In addition, his nose is also good, and therefore one should not smoke before smoking, use aromatic agents, especially - a deodorant or shampoo with a smell. Most likely, the beast eats you long before you can get close to it at a shot distance.
Именно в этом и заключается суть охоты с подхода - The hunter as quietly and gently creeps up to the wild boar and shoots at point blank range. Because of poor vision, the beast simply will not have time to notice you - of course, in the case when you move quietly enough. And even if after the shot it seems that the animal is killed instantly, do not approach it without recharging the gun beforehand, there's no need to take risks again. When you make sure that the ears of the boar are drooping, then you can begin to advance to the prey.
Of course, hunting is best done at a time when the sky is pure from the clouds, and the moon shines brightly enough - maybe even enough to do without additional artificial lighting.
Thus, in the article we briefly describedthe main ways to hunt wild boar at different times of the year, examined which bullets are best used for it, and how to prepare for this complex, dangerous but extremely interesting case.
