Thread: Driven boar shooting

I've actually done this myself in France. They use mongrel chasing dogs to drive the boar, all they do is trail bark behind the boar....driving it towards the guns.

I really enjoyed it and it certainly wasn't easy. That guy in the vid was filmed for a reason...he's the man at that style of shooting.

Driven boar is the style of hunting they developed for hunting and has gone on for centuries in Europe. I have no problem with it myself, and compared to nz pig hunting its a lot cleaner all round. I personally don't mind the nz style either (my family were all pig hunters, I even have some home movie footage from my grandfather from the 1950`s, which I reckon would be some of the earliest pig hunting footage in nz). But from an animal ethics point of view I think driven boar is cleaner.

Anyway, that dude could shoot.having done it myself I know how hard it is and he made it look easy.
