Why shoot wild boar?
This is the UK argument - but the picture is similar in Sweden.
Wild boar were once native to Great Britain but became extinct more than 300 years ago. Following escapes or deliberate releases from wild boar farms from the 1980s, they have now established breeding populations in the wild including Kent and East Sussex in the South-Eats of England, Dorset, Devon and the Forest of Dean in the South-West, and parts of Scotland. DEFRA estimates the current population at around 500 in the established colonies. Local wildlife managers estimate it at nearer 5,000.
Wild boar are omnivorous and approximately 400 species of plants and animals have been reported to be part of their diet. Their habit of rooting through the floor of woodland and pasture leaves a clear indicator of their presence. They will take both eggs and nestlings of ground-nesting birds and can damage crops, gamebird release pens and game feeders. Damage to agriculture can also be extensive and concerns have been raised regarding collisions with traffic. Boar have no natural predators in the UK meaning culls are necessary to control population growth.
Wild boar are susceptible to the same diseases as domestic pigs and therefore have the potential to spread infectious disease such as swine fever, foot & mouth and Aujesky’s disease (Gow, 2002; Natural England, 2007).

the dog is too close for a save shot, it's a no-go. Bear in mind that bullet fragments can leave the boar's body in many different directions.

Best hunting vid ever! This shortens the time until the new season finally starts again. 8 months to go ... :-)

[@waikarimoana]

Good day, Great videos for this week, many thanks and best regards from Down Under.

[@thespectator2976]

5:00 what a wonderfull shot :) Well done Sir :) Pig: who did put this tree here.........? (Dead)

[@rikspanjers4834]

I think the tree killed him

[@thesomersethunters8405]

Oh my days...what a video!!! Leif has the biggest nuts know to man!!! Well done fieldsports

[@napalmhotdog4365]

That method in the reeds is absolutely mental

[@loganhockenberry5026]

Idk seems like a fun way to die

[@napalmhotdog4365]

Logan Hockenberry agreed

[@ryanporter2492]

Great to see suppressors in action, apparently we are criminals in Australia if we use them!

[@olimb211]

everyone in scandinavia use them, im from norway and everyone on the hunting team use a suppressors. it makes less sound and less recoil so its great!

[@hookemlars]

In America the patients (politicians) are in charge of the country (insane asylum). That's why.

[@Browneye2566]

Another thing mate - I reckon you'll never see someone hunting pigs in a collar and tie in Australia.

[@colinjohnston5465]

Balls.Out. Mental! I want a go!

[@inveniamviam8916]

Successful Boar hunt.Fantastic🙌

[@malc1730]

great sport beautiful country great video

[@OleGad1]

In Germany we are using knives with long blades if the bores are so close. Safer for the dogs. check out "Saufeder". Very awesome footage!

[@watjejanssen7535]

great hunt !

[@raegruder4626]

great video

[@lddtyrone]

What caliber do they use?

[@fieldsportstv]

Sorry - I don't know. .30 or bigger. / Charlie

[@gaddivar9810]

Leif is using the .270 Win

[@tobyvic19]

Interesting to see the variety of dog’s

[@JayBradford]

Welcome to Sweden. Close up and personal is the only way to hunt boar.

[@edwardwatson6606]

That’s what we talking bout great hunt

[@jorgeningvarsson8784]

The shot 18,30 made me sick. Why take a shot when dog is just behind the boar . Better let it go than shot in panic. The rest was good shooting though.

[@thespectator2976]

i would call it instinct, but thats just me.

[@jorgeningvarsson8784]

The Spectator Sure it was instinct ,but still wrong especially from a professional hunter. The boar didnt run over him just trying to get away. Many dogs are shot that way . Not ok in my world. That kind of shooting inspire other who watch to do the same i think.

[@thespectator2976]

@@jorgeningvarsson8784 Im a hunter aswell :) i understand what your trying to say here , but the best part was that noone got hurt there, (not including the broar though)

[@crazycoyote1738]

Guys, tie a piece of wood to the rope so you can drag the boar comfortably, and keep your pants clean.. Lol.

[@jorgeningvarsson8784]

Keen Coyote No worries iam not a scared professional . 😉

[@loganhockenberry5026]

I can see using a rifle in the woods but when you get in the reeds wouldn't a 12 gauge with buck shot be better hits them harder and you get more hits on target so you get a better chance of the boar dying instantly.

[@gaddivar9810]

Logan Hockenberry buck shot is not legal in sweden:( but you can use slugs but the power in the Blaser is enough;)

[@gaddivar9810]

Logan Hockenberry and whit buck shot the chanses that the dogs shuld get hurt wuld Rise

[@MK-ql1yn]

Sometimes you end up in the forest sometimes in the reeds, depending on where the dog finds the pigs. It is a compromise and you take the weapon you are most comfortable with.

[@gustaveklund4971]

In Sweden you are not allowed to juse laser dots

[@alexanderfernestad9460]

Wild boars have Existed in Sweden before but became extinct

[@AdurianJ]

Is firing 2-3 meters in front of the dog common ?

[@fieldsportstv]

Yes in this kind of case. Take the shot you are capable of taking. / Charlie

[@blackforest.hotend]

Risky shot at 6:08 min... I wouldn’t take it. ... and if somebody would take a shot this close to one of my dogs there would be trouble.

[@thetruth3290]

not that risky if you know your limits

[@blackforest.hotend]

The Truth kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHjNoalmpK-Hh8k

[@ridgedogb139]

And you may just end up on the losing end haha. Nah. Just joking.

[@aabehzadi]

I was going to say slugs in a semiautomatic shotgun would be a better choice for follow up shots. Also why not laser dots?

[@Meandow]

Everything has its' ups and downs, semi auto shotgun with slugs would definitely be better close quarters but on slightly longer range it'd be worse, on top of that there aren't many suppressors available (or at leasn't hasnt been). In regards to the laser dots it's strictly forbidden during regular hunts, you may only use it when you hunt down wounded animals and finishing off game that was caught in a trap.

[@Elfin4]

I haven't hunted anything yet but looking to join a shooting club first, to get into the sport properly and safely. If you get a FAC license in the UK, can you take your own weapons to Sweden to hunt the boars. Is it a problem checking weapons into airlines ? Also how to you secure your weapons when staying in hotels ? Just looking to be educated not wanting to look like Im asking stupid questions, but then as the wise man says the only stupid question is the that isn't asked...

[@SijmoN]

Not sure about the license, but expect to be taken to a shooting rage where they'll have you shoot "running moose and wildboar" and make sure you rifle meets swedish class 1 10g bullet that hit att 2000j at 100m or 9g at 2900J at a 100m, to make it easy .308 or bigger. You can bring your own guns just make sure to have all the pappers you need, not sure how brexit will play out but for now a EU weapens passport is all you need. No problem flying with guns as long as you follow the airlines rule and have to right pappers.

[@Elfin4]

@@SijmoN Is there any laws or rules in Sweden regarding storage of the weapon whilst you stay in temporary hotel accommodation ? Im assuming from your post that a 6.5 creedmoor would satisfy your regulations!!

[@SijmoN]

Not sure about temporery storage, i assume you ha e to remove a vital part and store it seperat from The Gun, 6,5x55 is just about class 1 with 10.1g bullets depend on The barrel lenght as well, heavy home loaded creedmore round might make it to swedish class 1 but i would go with something bigger, if you plan to go with a driven Hunt bigger is better most hunyers here would say.

[@Elfin4]

@@SijmoN But surely a Tikka T3X TAC A1 in the 6.5 Creedmoor with a 24inch barrel will have the equivalent velocity and knock down of a 308 just less recoil.

[@SijmoN]

@@Elfin4 asfar as I know there is NO factory ammo here in sweden that meet class 1, i know poeple load to class 1 on there own, 140gr creedmore rounds do not meet class 1, not sure IF you can bring that rifle and Hunt with it in sweden, here in sweden you can get it on a hunting licens..
