Bushpig have always been high on my list when hunting in Africa.

But they appear to be animals of opportunity more than targets to be sought for.

My first safari was during a very bad drought and bushpig were non-existant and older warthog very scarce. During my second safari I was told they are usually taken by spotlight.

Is this so? What methods are used to hunt bushpig? Where is the best locations to find them ie near farmlands, thick forest ?

Thanks for any answers.
