In Australia 90% of shooters would use a .243, .270, a .308 or a .30-06. The other 10% would probably use a .222 or .22/250 !

A minor number of hunters will take their .375 (or other big bore) out for live practice. When pig numbers were plentiful and they still are "in season" in many places, hunting hogs with your "African" rifle is a great way to familiarise yourself prior to hunting buffalo or something else. Here in Oz they are not required.

The sport of boar sticking is also growing considerably where pigs are hunted with dogs and despatched with a knife.

European members ?

European members with experience hunting wild boar - can you answer my question of whether boar meat is a white or red meat? As said I have never hunted true wild boar but was surprised by the meat colour and texture when I had some. Maybe I was wrong, and the meat was just heavily marinated.
