Wild Hogs:
Hunting America's Invasive Wild Hogs
Boar hunting is the practice of hunting wild boar, feral pigs, warthogs, and peccaries. Boar hunting was historically a dangerous exercise due to the tusked animal's ambush tactics as well as its thick hide and dense bones rendering them difficult to kill with premodern weapons. Invasive species like hogs are legal to hunt all year round. Most hunters, therefore, prefer to save the regular hunting seasons for other species, and hunt wild hogs in the off-season, especially summer.
