Pakistan Boar Habitats
The Wild boar prefers areas 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 considered 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 of Punjab.

Boar Hunting Terrain
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 04full 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?

Bag Limit & Hunt Surety
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

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 petrol generators. ☼ The sun usually shines at temperatures that remind us of sunny spring & autumn days in Europe or on the Indian summer on the east coast of the USA.
