boars hunting in Italy

[valerio 32]

Boars hunting has been my biggest passion since I was a child and I followed my dad in frosty winter mornings.the way we hunt boars here in Italy is quite different from the way they are hunted in other countries.Boars are hunted by large team of hunters(up to 60 or more)most of those hunters form a line of shooters along streams or small wood roads while a smallish number go in the woods with a large pack of hounds(my team use more than 50) to find the boars and force them to the shooters line.the biggest pleasure of this form of hunting is to listen to the dogs trailing the boars for hours across hills and woods.It is also a real social thing expecially in the small villages.
