Nice hog; Would it be possible for an international tourist to arrange a 1-day hog hunt on Corsica? Is there other game available?

It would not be very difficult, if you know somebody there. No other big game, only small one: woodcocks or pardridge...
Sorry for my bad english.
If I can help you for travelling in Corsica, it will be a pleasure.
God bless America, free country!

This hog was shot during a driven hunt in Bastelica (South Corsica).
Weapon: Drilling Sauer an Sohn, 16/70mm 7X57R.
I used a reloaded buckshot load, 20 pellets, 4B, home loaded with a cupwad.
Lungs were touched by 16 pellets at 15 yards. The hog did not stop, but collapsed 20 yards later. Weight: 160 lbs, age: 3/4 years.
Three dogs were injured by this hog before it began to run...
Buckshot is legal in Corsica for hog hunting, only in driven hunts.

Yes, we still have 1000 mouflons and some red stags too. But they can't be hunted. Only one big game for us: hog, hog, hog.
Corsican Mouflon hunting is possible in France,but not in Corsica...I hunted ten of them in french Alps, it is a wonderful stalk hunt.
