Wanted: Looking for a UK boar

[neilrobbins19]

Looking for a UK boar as I've never shot one
I would need to hire or borrow a rifle as mine isn't big enough for them
Any recommendations would be great
Many thanks

In the forest of dean you are best off contacting Mark Bolton or Warren Broad

 

[quarrystalker]

Are they both on here & have you used them yourself ?

I did need to use them as shoot my own .
But both are recognised outfits in the forest of dean area with a proven track record for wild boar

Ok I will look for their details. We had one unsuccessful outing with a guy called Barry, booked through A1 decoys. We certainly heard some boar, but never saw any & the area to shoot over wasn`t that big. It seemed all our hopes was pinned on them coming to the one feed/bait station.

Yes his reputation comes before him unfortunately if you search him on other forums .
Your best bet would be Warren currently with numbers dramatically reduced in the dean.
I've added his link

I think going by the trips I've done that's the norm to be static on a bait station, though some people do go mobile. I've heard that the numbers aren't what they used to be and like stalking there is no guarantee of getting any on a single outing. I've been to Barry's twice and shot 3 the first time and saw boar but didn't get a chance of a shot the second time.
I've been elsewhere and also blanked but my friend got 3 that night.

Barry's fine ! He is or was Elmer fudd on here I've had 3 on 1 outing with him

 

[Mud Stuffin]

Been out with Barry before on more than one occasion and no complaints from me.

interesting to hear I will have a look about. To be fair it was our first outing so had nothing to compare it with & others seem to have had successful outings.

Definately, like all wild animals, nothing can be guaranteed. I know this myself & it applies across the board with pigeons, duck, deer & Boar. As I say it was our first trip. I have seen others mention when they have not had luck in one area they have moved onto a different location, but I suppose that relies on what land is available & where the boar want to be/feed.

You need to stay absolutely silent in the box, have only been once with Barry. Shot 2 boar.

Hi Night Owl,
I dont suppose you have contact details for Mark Bolton or Warren Broad?

 

[Creedmoor Bob]

Another vote for Barry, been with him once and saw 2 sounders come through, one with 4 the other of 6. Only managed to drop one due to safe shots etc but great to actually see them. My shooting partner in another hide didn't see a sausage all night, that's just the way the cookie crumbles I suppose. Booked to go again early next year, for the prices he's worth the punt and can confirm there was definitely boar and roe in numbers as of September

Anyone seen the 116kg Boar that someone out with Warren Broad dropped last night? Huge. I can not find it now. Think it was FB?
