Hunting bushpigs involves specific strategies due to their habitat and behavior. The most common method is baiting at night, where hunters use a blind to wait for the bushpig to come to the bait.
Baiting involves placing a bait, like rotten vegetables or meat, and setting up a blind to wait for the bushpigs to come to the bait.
It's crucial to respect the bushpigs' senses of sight, hearing, and smell, as they are easily spooked. Be cautious, as bushpigs can be aggressive, especially when wounded.
In South Africa, there are generally no seasonal restrictions on hunting bushpigs. However, the best time to hunt them is often during the dry winter months when food is scarce, making them easier to bait.
