To have the opportunity to experience an African hunt is enthralling. To have the opportunity to target a bushpig on a wild hunting adventure just upped the stakes a hundred percent! Bushpig hunting is an exciting and fast-paced African plains game hunting safari that if the opportunity arises, needs to be grabbed with both hands! Most hunters have a tale or two to tell about bushpig hunting safaris that they have enjoyed. The thrill of the hunt comes to life when targeting this exceptional game hunting trophy. Available for hunting in Botswana and often paired with other African plains game species, the bushpig is well worth considering on your next hunting adventure. The bushpig (Potamochoerus larvatus) is a member of the pig family and closely resembles a domestic pig. Bushpigs are nocturnal, consuming varied food sources, such as roots, vegetables, fruits, carrion, bulbs, and insect larvae. These water-dependent mammals are highly adaptable in terms of habitats, which can range from dense forests and swamps to agricultural areas, woodlands, and mixed scrub. When bushpig hunting, the best time to target them is at night, but they can also be found during the day in some areas. Time your game hunting safari with the full moon, as they are more active over that time. The most common method of bushpig hunting in Botswana is the baiting method with the bushpig hunted from a blind, although other methods such as spot-and-stalk, or from a hunting vehicle at night, using a spotlight are also utilized, with night hunting in Botswana allowed on private land. A trophy of opportunity is another great way to land a bushpig!
