boar hunt

Pursuing wild swine

A boar hunt is the pursuit and killing of wild boars, traditionally conducted with dogs, spears, or rifles.

Boar hunting has ancient roots as both sport and pest control, since wild boars damage crops and can be dangerous.

The activity remains popular in parts of Europe and the American South: We're going on a boar hunt this weekend.
