Hunting for thousands of years has allowed the human community to survive. However, now this type of fishing has become more of a personal hobby. The request generated an offer, and many manufacturers and sellers of special hunting equipment appeared, congresses and competitions were held. But we should not forget about hunting, which is related to the urgent need to regulate animal populations or protect farms. In most states, wild boars, for example, are considered pests because they damage crops and infrastructure or something.
Hunting can attract men and women from 10 to 100 years of age. It is on foot, traditionally close to nature, and comfortable, with a minivan sitting on a leather chair.
The Sun Going Down does Not limit night Hunting for Hogs
Given the wide selection of unique tools for night tracking and hunting, it is safe to say that the prey will not run away from the hunter, even at night. You can buy night vision cameras and set them up correctly to find out the approximate time of appearance of wild boars and the area of their movements.
Wild pigs feed primarily at night. That is, after sunset, they are most active. This is the main reason for the existence of wild boar hunting.
In general, the most effective is a prepared hunt, which begins with the placement of feeders. A wild boar can feel the bait at a distance of 5-7 miles. Gather acorns, nuts, and corn and set the baits in places convenient for you, taking into account the results of previous observations of nocturnal movements of wild boars. From time to time, add bait, and wild boars will get used to these feeding places, allowing the hunter to carry out further preparations for effective hunting. It is also necessary to immediately attach to the feeders of even green or red light, to which wild boars will also get used, which will give much better lighting than natural and enhance the performance of the night vision device.
In general, the best time for effective hunting is the last half hour of daylight before sunset.
The optimal distance for effective game damage is 100-200 yards.
Pressured Hogs Will Go Nocturnal
So, when you are morally ready for night hunting, choose the time and place, stock up on bait and special equipment. You can place the bait, illuminate it with flashlights, put a night sight on your bow, and wait for the opportunity to shoot the right shot. And she will appear because the main thing is the proper preparation. You can also install motion sensors and alarms.
It is incredibly convenient to use thermal imagers because their operation does not depend on external lighting. It responds to the object’s radiation, can work in complete darkness, at dusk, or in daylight. Snow, fog, smoke, grass, and shrubs do not interfere with observation. The device allows you to distinguish animals – on the background of leaves or snow, regardless of natural camouflage. That’s why thermal imagers have recently become so popular among amateur hunters and hunters.
Nocturnal Hogs are Hungry Hogs
Wild boars are large animals and need a lot of food. And that is why they wait all day to start eating close to evening. They throw themselves into the bait, losing vigilance and caution. But even when they come across a set bait, these animals do not stand still and move around all the time. So do not lose your composure and wait for the right moment. The ethical component of hunting does not allow reckless attempts. So focus and analyze the situation to have the expected result. And since you have already prepared, set baits and lights, be sure of your abilities.
Year-round Hunting
That is why your bait becomes so attractive. Logically, the natural vegetation decreases significantly with the onset of cold weather, and it becomes more difficult for wild boars to find a meal. But with the beginning of spring, it is easier for wild boars to eat not young grass but farm crops, so in early summer, they can destroy the field in a couple of days. And at this time comes the critical moment when the crop must be protected from these powerful pests, including hunting.
But in the summer, when the heat haunts you even at night, the meat spoils faster, so you should think in advance about how to solve this problem: portable refrigerators or thermal insulators, coolers, or something.
Thus, night hunting of wild boars is an exciting hobby and a helpful activity that allows you to regulate the population and protect farms. And the meat of wild boars, which eat peanuts, acorns, and corn, is delicious. And no steroids or hormones.
