More Boar Piglets Or Not – That Is The Question

How many you see now predicts how many there will be next year.

The farrowing season for wild pigs and boar last normally from December to February of each year.  A secondary peak for giving birth to piglets occurs in  April to May.
Wild pigs breed year-round. Conception begins to peak sometimes  in September and generally lasts till October.


Of course, just when it begins and for how long merry piglet making continues depends greatly on a number of factors. They are mainly weather conditions and the availability of food resources, any combinations thereof, other environmental factors and last but not least the degree of pressure the wild hogs experience from hunting, trapping, lack of water and other disturbances. Wild pigs, like all types of pigs, like a peaceful largely stress free life.

If you recently hunted boar in California you might have noticed the presence of more piglets – or not. How about sharing the information with other hunters? We will conduct a brief survey of landowners soon and then let you know.
