I’ve also been a few times and never failed to see them, only once did I not get the shot (rather I chose not to take the shot) and had some memorable times there.
Hi there, do you have any availability?Due to the number of calls I am getting from past clients, I am going to offer boar shooting again starting in August.
This will be limited to only several outings per month during the full moon.
Pm for more information.
Update to this post
I am now operating several days a week and throughout the year but avoiding sows which have dependent followers which can be clearly identified using thermal.
Shooting is from enclosed towers with comfortable chairs overlooking bait sites which are located 50 mtrs away and where the pigs come to feed throughout the night.
Its £150 per night but there are no other fees for shots or trophies and no limits on the numbers you shoot as my shoots are for pest control/damage limitation.
Deer which are in season and during legal light conditions may also be taken included in the price and these are, Roe, Fallow and Munty with Fallow being the most prevalent.
Carcass for both deer and boar is £1 lb should you wish to take it home and a trichinella testing kit will be included for you to send off any samples for testing should you wish to do so.
I have a 4 berth caravan on site which has gas and electricity which you can also use for free should you wish to get some rest before your journey home as some people like to sit out all night.
Some form of n/v equipment is required with thermal being the best but I have an estate rifle with an Atn thermal scope fitted if you have nothing suitable.
Lamping is not suitable as the boar normally take to the woods but a scope mounted light with a green pill seems to be effective.

It's not a 'hunt' as such, more like pest control.Hi Elmer im new to the group..really interested in a boar hunt, it will be the first for me so any advice would be great..hoping you can send me available dates and requirements for sep oct.thank you in advance
Thank you JTO ,your advice has been very usefull.yes with lockdown things are all up in the air atm.i think ill have to do a shopping trip to get the proper outfit.i work weekdays so will defo have to be a weekend for me.I wish you luck on ur next trip, Thank you again for the advice.It's not a 'hunt' as such, more like pest control.
Plenty of evidence of boar damage everywhere!
You will be seated in a comfortable swivel office chair about 12 feet above a feed station 50 yards in front of you. You will really need a thermal spotter, but IR night vision will be OK on the rifle because there is nothing to reflect glare. Barry has a thermal sight on the rifle that you can borrow, but I wouldn't want to be using it to spot through 180 degrees.
I have a jinx and have not shot one there yet, but people a few days before seem to do OK. I was going mid-week so that people who work, can go at weekends.
Not been in touch with Barry for a few weeks. Not much happening during lockdown, I suspect!
hi , ive been trying to get hold of barry but no answer etc... any ideas if hes still going ?I went and had 1 successful night and had 3 see back through the posts I also had a blank though saw 1 but it didn’t offer a shot. I chose a night with full moon and luckily a fairly clear night so just used my binoculars and rifle scope.
I had some texts from him about 6 weeks ago, just locals at the moment during lockdown, I think. I imagine the landowner and neighbours are anxious to somehow control the damage being done.hi , ive been trying to get hold of barry but no answer etc... any ideas if hes still going ?
