I'm curious to know if ther'are some wild pigs or boar hunting opportunity in Asia.

China, for one, on what are referred to as "Forest Hunts". Also, I have seen hunts advertised in the Phillipines. There is some hope that eventually India will be available to foreigners as well.

Yes I know about Philippines. I have heard something about India.

They use to have good hogs in the PI. I saw several while working with the PI security forces in the early 70's. They cook good to. But depending on which island you hunt, you will want to do it with a M-16 with a CGL or some such and have several friends armed the same way. I have friends from the PI and they will not return to their home island for even one day.

I hunted pigs in Turkey in '99 when I was over there- with dogs and shotguns. Good fun!

Interesting post...My wife is American-Korean (she came over when she was two). She has been suggesting we take the kids on a trip back there one of these days so they can see where 50% of there genetics are from. I wonder if there might be some hunting opps there too?

The only hunting allowed in Korea is on the island clear down off the southern point of the penninsula. Otherwise, private ownership of smokeless firearms is forbidden. You can rent shotguns to shoot pheasant on the island.

So Bird hunting is the only hunting allowed in the entire country? Geeeze...thanks McArthur!

Pigs can be hunted in Pakistan. Will try and find the link to one of the outftters.

Also in one state of India I have read the local autorities sell wild boar hunts to the foreigners.

i think the place is Chattisgarh, where they're selling permits for 50$ per trophy
