Wild Boar Hunting At Night – How To Get A Beast In The Dark

October 7 //  by Davis

You can get your trophy not only in the daytime but also at night, when many animals lead an active lifestyle, for example, wild boar. Of course, this method is notable for its complexity, and the first problem is that a person cannot see at night without auxiliary devices. In today’s article, we will talk about how to hunt in the dark and not be left without a trophy, and talk about the advantages and disadvantages.

What methods do they hunt at night

When dusk comes, wild boars begin to show activity, also at night and at dawn. In summer, wild boars can be seen before sunset, when they go out to feed; in winter, most often in the second half of winter, wild boars can be seen in the afternoon.
This is due to the problematic situation associated with nutrition and its search, which is why they are looking for food in the daytime. Hunters often prefer night hunting stingy with daytime, a hungry animal will seek food for itself, and this is due to its nature.
There are two main methods of hunting at night: this is from the approach and from an ambush. For example, hunting from the approach can be carried out on oats.
Now briefly telling about some methods of hunting wild boars. It can be carried out, as we already said from the approach. It is best to spend it on those nights when the moon shines brightly, and the sky is not overcast, if it is also winter, then there is no better time.

Moonlight will illuminate the path rather well in front of the hunter, making it possible to use the underbarrel flashlight, thermal optics, or night vision scope much less often. Something from what was listed will still have to be taken along with another thing is the cost of gadgets.

If, for example, a flashlight mounted on trunks is relatively inexpensive, then a thermal imager or a night vision scope will be significantly more expensive, the price here often comes to the cost of a foreign car, not to mention the fact that you can buy several native cars for the money car industry.
But this is everyone’s business, and we won’t touch on the issue of cost, all this really facilitates the process of hunting wild boar, which is what the hunter needs.

We hunt wild boar at night from the approach: what you need to remember and keep in mind

If you are participating in the hunt with the approach, then at least you must have a reliable and powerful flashlight.

Everything is, as usual, dressing is done in a non-rusting fabric, no smells should come from the hunter, and neither he nor his ammunition should create extraneous noise. Wild boars hear very well and have a good smell.

But their vision let us down, so do not think those wild boars will notice you in 20-30 meters. You can easily get to them at a distance of a shot if you do not make any sounds and scare the beast away from the smell.
The decisions here are simple: not to make noise and try to get towards them from the leeward side, not giving a chance to the herd of wild boars to smell you.
The experience of hunters shows that this method is the best way to hunt alone. This is the case when it is difficult to conduct a quiet couple of hunting.
Before a shot, you need to be sure that the fire is not being fired on a pig with piglets. After you have reached the distance of the shot, and the wild boars are eating peacefully, turn on your under-barrel flashlight and fire a shot at the chosen target.

From an ambush or a tower in the dark: nuances and subtleties

This method covers several different ways at once, and it can be a hunt from an outburst in the forest or from a tower on the field. In their preparations, they will not differ, almost in anything. Again, remember what was written in the previous chapter and do everything exactly the same.
The only thing I would like to say is the use of a thermal imager or a night sight. These gadgets will help you very much. With them, the process will go much nicer and faster, not to mention the fact that its effectiveness will be much higher.

Of course, determining the floor of the boar at night is quite difficult, and after turning on the flashlight, the time for firing is less and less.

There is a chance of not getting at all or getting, or even worse, to injure a boar. Therefore, the use of the above devices, if not absolutely necessary, is very desirable. It remains to add a couple of words with experience.
If you are sitting on a hitch, then make it as comfortable and durable as possible. Do not forget to make a stand under the legs and trunk. A delay, just like a tower, should not creak and make extraneous sounds.
In the cold season, you should definitely dress as warm as possible, as expectations can last for 3-4 or more hours.

Conclusion

It is worth noting strict adherence to all safety rules, which are stricter during night hunting due to specificity. Do not shoot at the sound, do not shoot at an obscurely visible target, and do not shoot at targets of open spaces. For collective hunts or with a partner, you should agree on the end time of the hunt, and when hunting under the direction of the huntsman, you can only leave the room at his command. Develop special signals for transmitting information.
