It has come to the attention of many hunters over the past several years that Russian Boars have been brought to the USA in large numbers to high fence ranches. Corbin Park in New Hampshire was one of the first to bring wild boar for hunting. Russian boars are hairy creatures as old as the Pleistocene Period. Humans have hunted them for a Millennia for both sport and food. Russian boar commonly are in the 200 to 300 pound range and can continue to grow to huge sizes far beyond 300 to 400 pounds.

If you wish to hunt these animals on their own soil, there is a flight leaving for Russia. Or you can experience a hunt here in the USA.

So why hunt them, because; first, you like a challenging hunt, second they are very good to eat. Third, Adventure! They are not for the faint of heart as they are not an easy creature to kill, they can be dangerous if a Russian boar charges you and hooks you with his tusks your in for a serious Hospital Visit so most hunts are with a back up gun and guide. Boar meat is healthier for you than domestic pork.  Less Fat and very high in protein. No hormones and organic meat.

Most hunting is done with Rifles 243/6mm and above. Many are taken with Bow but here we can take a rifle like the 243, all the 30 calibers. Shotgun slugs are great! Muzzleloaders too.  Shots are less than 100 yards I am told. What is most important to me is the food value. After the hunt you may have up to 100 pounds of meat. It better be good eating, right? If cooked properly this is healthy delicious organic meat. Great Recipes below:
