Pakistan Boar Habitats
The Wild boar prefers area with think vegetation. They are
found in reed beds as well as scrub and forest areas and
are often found living in the vicinity of larger cities
of Pakistan. In Pakistan the wild boar is common in the
Indus riverine forest of river Indus throughout the
provinces of Punjab and Sindh. Increased sugar
plantation has increased the wild boar population in
some areas of Punjab so high that they are now consider
a pest. Numbers in Sindh have declined, but it is not
endangered and is still found in good numbers. Wild boar
are plentiful in forest plantations of Changa Manga and
Piranwala. They are common in Margalla Hills and are
regularly seen on the streets of Islamabad, despite
government efforts to control their population. Wild
boars are not found in the higher hill ranges in the
north of the country. They are rare in Kohat and
Peshawar. Despite government efforts to reduce Wild boar
populations, by using pesticides and hunting there has
been no significant effect on the population of wild
boar in Pakistan, and they are increasing in many areas

Boar Hunting Terrain |
Go on Top |
|
Depending on the terrain of your hunting grounds, your hunts could be
on grassy plains, along the rivers, irrigated plantations, block
forests, thorn bush forests, cane grass, crop fields, small hills,
moorlands, river islands, sugar cane fields, wild canyons, foothills
& mixed lands.
|
|
|
Hunting Difficulty Grade
At times short walks to the individual shooting position have to be
undertaken, however, in most cases the hunters are driven by cars or
jeeps quite closer to their assigned shooting positions. This permits
even the older hunters to participate easily.
How
Do We Hunt Boars ?
Once you’ve arrived the boar hunting grounds, we normally
give you 04 full days for hunting wild boars in and around
your field with complete, assistance from our most professional &
experienced team composed of our Chief Hunting Guide, Local Hunting
Guides, Local Govt & Community Heads and dozens of experienced beaters
with their trained dogs.

How Many Hunts
A Day ?
Subject to the available time and interest of group
members, we may offer from 3 and up to 4 driven hunts every day
from dawn to dusk. Driven hunts during bad weather & on rainy days is
subject to the approval of our chief guide whose decision will be
final.
Our minimum bag limit is 05 (five) boars per person per hunt
safari (entire trip), however, since boars are reckoned as pests in
Pakistan & their population is plentiful,Our minimum bag limit is 05 (five) boars per person per hunt
safari (entire trip), however, since boars are reckoned as pests in
Pakistan & their population is plentiful, there is no maximum
bag limit set by our Govt. So our guests may hunt as many
boars as they want and they are usually rewarded with a quantity which
is far beyond their expected bag limit. As regards their quality, all
boars are shot under exciting circumstances and oftenly includes a
high percentage of old tuskers.

Camping Sites
Some hunting grounds that do not offer motels or guest houses, we
provide either our spacious 3 men dome tents for each member or large
sized mess tents (13ft X 11 ft) with separate camp matresses @ 02 to 03
persons per tent. The foam mattresses we provide are extra spacious
and comfortable. The dinning tents are spacious (13ft x 11ft)
furnished with spacious dinning tables and chairs. And two separate
tents are provided for bath and toilet. While our mess tents are
mostly lit by petromax lamps, which also keep them warm, we also
provide low wattage electric lamps in each tent powered by a petrol
generators. ☼ The sun usually shines at
temperatures that remind us on sunny spring & autumn days in Europe or
on the Indian summer on the east coast of the USA.
The day begins with a cup of tea or coffee in your tent at
around 6 AM, followed by a full breakfast, which includes cereal,
milk, eggs, bread, paratha (chapati), jam, honey, corn flakes etc.
The beating begins at around 8 AM. We stop for lunch around noon. Our
hot lunch is composed of at least three main courses but to quench the
European taste, we always supplement our lunches with crackers,
cheese, nuts, fruit, juice, fish, salad, bread & tea/coffee.
Dinner is served around 7:30 p.m. & includes soup, followed by 2 to 3
main courses of stews, rice, lentils, vegetables, chicken or mutton
and chapattis. There is always a desert (custard, pudding, kheer,
halwa or sheer khorma) at the end of dinners which is served with
coffee or tea (black or green). Meals are served in rotation with a
blend of local & international cuisines to maintain variety. Plenty of
fresh vegetables & seasonal fruits are always served. Please inform us
about any dietary concerns that you may have. We will be more than
glad to fulfill your request.
