  1. Step 1

    Gather supplies for the boar hunting trip. Check with the state's wildlife department to see if they require you to have a boar hunting licenses. Ask if there is a season for hunting boar.

  2. Step 2

    Select an area that has a high population of boar. Tracks and rubbed trees are the most common signs that boars are near. A rubbed tree is a tree that the boar has rubbed the bark off.

    Follow the trail, tracks and rubbed trees to find the boars. The animals are the most active from dusk to early evening.

Have arrows ready for a second or third shot when the boar attacks. Boar, like pigs, squeal when injured. Their high-pitched scream may through you off.

    Approach the wounded boar with knife in hand. When close enough, slit the boar's throat. This kills the boar in seconds.
