About the Species

They resemble the domestic pig, and can be identified by their blunt, muscular snouts, small eyes, pointed, tufted ears and buckled toes. Their colour varies from reddish-brown to dark brown and becomes darker with age. Bush pigs are social animals and can be found in sounders of up to 12 members. A typical group will consist of a dominant male and a dominant female.

About the Hunt

Both the Boars and Sows make for super trophies. Hunting can be done by hounds, baiting or by a chance glimpse of these shy animals.

Habitat

When hunting a bush pig, they can be found in the thick shelter and water is essential. Bush pigs prefer the thickets, reed patches and tall grass located near water. They can be found only under these conditions, even in dry country.
