Wild Boars

Found in many countries around the world, the wild boar has a long history with humans. While domestic pigs, both captive and feral, have been in North America since the earliest days of European colonization, it wasn’t until the 19th century that wild boars were introduced to the New World. Wealthy landowners released the boars as big game animals.

A wild boar is very a tough animal and hunters need to make sure the shot is in the kill zone. An injured wild boar can turn on a hunter and become very dangerous. Although they don’t have claws, they do have sharp tusks, which can cause a lot of damage if the hunter is gouged.
