| 391.1 | Wild Pork | ATEAM::AYOTTE | | Thu May 04 1989 13:11 | 19 |
| I've had the opportunity to eat boar on a couple of occasions and
it was excellent. A friend of mine hunted a preserve stocked with
these creatures. I've never hunted them and couldn't help you on
weapon choice. One would think that a properly placed bullet from
your .41 magnum would do the job. I think my friend used a .44mag
carbine. I'd like to try hunting them someday...... would be a
great way to bridge the gap between fall to fall hunting seasons.
Believe it or not, but:
NH offers wild boar hunting in a truely limited fashion. There
are small numbers of them in the Claremont area near the VT border.
The hurricane that knock down the fence of a large hunting preserve
back in the '30s let out enough of them to get them started. The
F&G department doesn't manage them and doesn't list a controlled
season on them. The few that are taken are killed by deer hunters
that happen upon them in thick swamps.

| I believe that about 2 or 3 years ago the first wild boar in 50
years was taken in Coos county, N.H. The southern states offers
quite a bit of wild boar hunting but here in N.H. there is an open
season on them. I think there are only about 8 animals that have
no closed seasons on them. Coyote is another, along with skunk and
porcupine. In the rules book that comes with a hunting license tells
what animals have open seasons.

| .3 I seem to recall an article in a Union Leader about a year or
2 back that mentioned the first boar killed in 50 years. it may
have been in just Coos county but thought it was the whole state.
Will look it up though.
