I'd be keen to find out about opportunities for wild boar hunt (driven and "vakjakt" at night) in Sweden. Me and my friends go hunting in Estonia every so often, but Sweden is equally close. Any ideas or pointers as to where to find more info or where to book hunts would be appreciated. You can PM me, I speak Swedish. - Lars/Finland A.k.a. Bwana One-Shot | ||

I think that hunting for a wild boar in Sweden or Norway it approximately the same that hunting for a penguin at the North Pole. I dont deny the fact of distribution of an area of a wild boar in Scandinavia, but the first wild boars in Kareliya have appeared only in 1970. Population of a wild boar in Kareliya and Scandinavia is very small for successful hunting game. | |||

2008 was over 50000 wildboars shot in sweden. | |||

Rather little: the climate is too cold (i.e. frozen ground in the winter), and the wolves are quite high in number. However, some are hunted especially in the South-East where there is a warmer climatic "belt" that allows the boar to find food throughout the year.

The South East, to Russian border my be.. On how much I know, in Kareliya there are no wild boars or very little. Ask londonhunter. hi has hunted on a bear in Kareliya. How much he saw wild boars there? | |||

There were quite a lot. Entirely artificial I must say. The way my host built his hunting lodge, for those friends who have seen the private vidoes we were shooting boars from our bedrooms some 300m away with russina girls massaging our backs! We were presented with high grade night visiion scopes on arrival and from my bed (literally) at night I could easily have shot at groups of 15 - 20 congragating around barrels of mollasas some 300m away. According to the local hunters winters in Karelia are getting comparativley warmer in the past 05 - 10 years. Profyhunter is absolutely correct. There were previously NO boars there due to the harsh russian winter. However they appear from nowhere some 05 - 10 year ago and numbers are growing each year. I was told they come from the south over the russian border with Estonia and they are surviving the compartively warmer winter. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. Karelia is such as vast area I am informed that at the moment there is no problem accomodating "foreign" southern boars into the food chain. I did ask and they seem to have NO "natural competitor / predator". Hunters there now shoot and trap boars for meat now rather than their precious Elk or Moose. They save the elk and moose to collect foreign exchange from idiots like me who is happy to pay to hunt there. I must confess these boars are NOT large (the ones that were shot during my stay) were at most 100 - 120 kilograms wet weight. They resemble boars species that I have seen in Estonia but anorexic looking - very large hump in the spine with a pronounced snout. What I saw was in August with plenty of food around. I hate to seen them during Russian winter ! I will be back this coming August for the start of the next season. My aim is a LARGER and again charging brown bear. This time I am going to sit it out till the last day and wait for that elusive 9 footer and hopefully a wolverine as well ......HAHAH dream on Today I have been invited to go to Sweeden in early January for driven moose with dogs by a bullet manufacturer. That should be interesting. I am told that boars if they appear are shootable. I shall report back. On to Frankfurt tomorrow for boar for the weekend. Goodnight and good hunting my friends | |||

You'll like the moose hunt. I went a few years ago and I brought back nice memories.  André DRSS --------- 3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact. 5 shots are a group. | |||

Although our wild boar population does not compare in numbers to some countries in continental Europe, there is a steady and growing population in the southern parts of Sweden. As said, there were approx 50000 boar shot in 2008, and that figure will go up for sure. Schaukis, PM me if you like and I will send you some links to places that sell hunting oppurtunities on boar. Best Regards Karl | |||

I was hunting boar in Lithuania very recently. They were of a good size and condition and when skinned were well covered in fat. I was a guest of the local hunting club and took a good look at their cull statistics going back quite a number of years. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn the the range of boar is spreading north based on this. Interestingly, the population of Roe deer was showing the greatest increase and Hares the greatest decrease. I also shot a Raccoon dog, a species invading from the east which is having a severe effect on ground game and small animals generally. Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. Sir Winston Churchill | |||

Well im live near of Oulu in Finland. Oulu is less than 200km from arctic circle to south. And we also have wild boar here. About one month ago quite close of mine hunting area some men shot 130kg male boar. Ok its quite rare here but even here once in every 2-3 year some one shot wild boar. But south east in Finland population is much more better. But anyway i will hunting more likely here wild boar than penguin...  And population is Sweden is really strong and good. There is lots of animals and special huge male. Ofcourse all areas is not same but there is really good population some places. And i can say even much more better than many places is Germany... And i have hunting in both countries. Ofcourse population in Germany is good but its also really good in Sweden too. But what i have experience of wild boar here in europe i will say best population be in Belarus there was really huge males and lots of them. And second best place is Estonia. Trofees isnt so huge there but population is good. But even there it was much more better in 10-15 years ago just after when border open. Middle europe is ofcourse "home" of boars but really get nice trofee isnt so easy there. I have lots of experience hunting in Czech and some areas there is ok but not every place. And german its also same. But if really want go hunting boar, Sweden is not bad choice i really recommend go and try hunting there. And dont say anything before have been there. But best place still is in Belarus.... only problem there is communism and it effect to guide and cultur... One of my good friend was hunting in Estonia and he shot running fox to field about 200meter distance. And quide ask from him that how he can hit that fox? And my friend just say "its simple and that why we dont speak russian...." that estonian quide didnt ask anything after it... well this was little oftopic... But thats true aff all side.. Stalins 2 biggest nightmare -If chinese learn fight like Finnish or Finnish start makes baby like Chinese... | |||

 That was funny. When I hunted Sweden and Finland thay talked about a few boars but in those days there were very few. Sounds like I need to go back and check it out. Anyway I still don't have my caprachali of however you spell that. I've hunted Germany for boar but was'nt impressed. The best boar hunting I've had was in France. I shot a few big ones but the numbers were incredible. I only hunted two days and shot five boar. DRSS NRA life AK Master Guide 124 | |||

A hunter shot a wild???boar near Pajala close to the finnish border. A whitetail was also shot near the border they are a alien spiece so you can shoot them year around. I shot 3 pigs in the souhtern of Sweden in december. We dont spell Capercailie we spell it Tjäder, and you are welcome to come here and make a new try. | |||

You are right! I can confirm completely your words, especially concerning old and very big wild boars with thick trophees. Know we have a hunt a Belarus.  Probably this wild boar is more than 7-8 years old. To shot this wild boar in Germany with 7-8 years - it is unreal. In this photo the picture is increased: http://pixs.ru/showimage/Foto0...g_4227922_460755.jpg | |||
