Query Species
Bush pigs are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, including countries such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Kenya. They typically inhabit dense forests, savannas, and riverine habitats.
Adult bush pigs typically weigh between 60-150 pounds and stand 2-3 feet tall at the shoulder. Males are generally larger than females.
Bush pigs have a dark brown or black coat with bristly fur. They have a distinctive “mohawk” of hair along their back and a mane of longer hair on their neck and shoulders. Some individuals may have white or pale markings on their face and legs.
For hunting bush pigs, it is recommended to use a rifle or shotgun chambered for a medium-sized game cartridge such as the .308 or .30-06. A good quality scope is also important for accurate shot placement. Other recommended gear includes sturdy hunting boots, camouflage clothing, and a hunting knife.
Bush pigs are primarily nocturnal and are known for their elusive nature, making them difficult to track and locate. However, they often leave distinctive signs such as tracks, scat, and wallows that can be used to determine their presence in an area. Hunting guides and outfitters may also use trained dogs to track and locate bush pigs.
For a clean and ethical kill, it is recommended to aim for the vital organs such as the heart and lungs. Aiming for the head is not recommended due to the small target size and the risk of wounding the animal.
