| WILD BOAR |
| Wild Boar this is the most dangerous animal that we have in our area. The important thing about Wild Boar is that it's neck is not flexible. In most cases it is not so dangerous but when wounded or a female having babies then it turns to be very dangerous. Wild Boar is hunted both by rifle & shotgun. In shotgun we use SG cartridges. At night especially in winter season they walk in groups & use to dig the soil. Our villagers especially Machies really enjoy it's hunting & fight with dogs. Villagers love to see their dogs fighting with Wild Bores. Some villagers are wounded very badly fighting with Wild Boars. |

| WILD BOARS DESTROYING OUR CROPS |
| Wild Boar destroys our crops and gives us loss every season. One reason for hunting Wild Boars is that they dig the soil of crops and makes the villagers angry. The villagers come from far of their villages to hunt them. Wild Boars usually feed in family groups on a variety of fungi, ferns and plant parts including grasses, leaves, fruits and roots. They also eat small mice, frogs and birds etc. As our area comes under flood almost every year these animals migrate towards the areas where there is less flood. Some of them comes in the houses of villagers and the villagers especially Machies put dogs on them. |

| DIFFERENT KINDS OF WILD BOARS |
| Many kinds of Wild boars are found in different areas of the world. Some of them are very dangerous. The Wild Boars shown in pictures below this text does not belong to our area except Bush Pig. I have edited these snaps just for information. The first snap is of a Bore called Warthog (see twin Boars below) while second is called Bush Pig both are found in plenty of number in Africa and in some parts of India and Pakistan. Bush Pig avoid contact with people and are usually active only at night. Wild Boars are both carnivores and herbivores. |

| WARTHOG THE MOST DANGEROUS WILD BOAR |
| Warthog as told before is found in Africa and is the most dangerous among all kinds of Boars. Some times in critical situation it fights with Lion also. These animals live in groups & produce their young ones very fast. Warthogs are much bigger than the Boars which are in our area. Bush Pigs live in grassy areas. Brown Boar is not very dangerous, it likes to eat bushes very much and the flash of dead animals. Another type is African Wild Boar, it is also very common animal of Africa. |

| HUNTING WILD BOAR IN OUR AREA |
| Wild Boar is hunted through many ways, with the help of net, search light, hunted with Rifles or Shotguns, dogs & many people. It is very clear that these animals are very clever so to hunt them pin drop silence is required. A good hunter should know how to sit & wait for prey. The villagers have special hunting dogs which are responsible to take out bores from jungle. These dogs are so much trained that they only bark when they watch the prey. Some dogs ran away while facing big Boars. Villagers bring drums to take out the Wild Boars from jungle. Some villagers caught them alive in net. Below this text is a map showing how we hunt these Boars in our area. |
