Wild boar hunting in Turkey

When you go hunting wild boar in Turkey, you’ll find that size and weight are relative terms. What we call prime, they call average. Tusks with a length of 23-24 cm are measured regularly, as are weights of 200 kg. The Turkish forests are home to monsters of boars. No other country in Europe offers better opportunities to shoot one or even several of these prime colossi.

In the past 25 years, Turkey has become an absolute top destination for wild boar hunting. The Turks themselves leave the wild boar – like all pigs – untouched because of Islamic rules. Low hunting pressure over the years has led to a huge increase of population. Among them a large number of old, heavily tusked boars.

Hunting area

Individual hunters are welcome, but the areas are also large enough for small groups. Our local partner manages a total of 300,000 hectares of hunting grounds. This is exclusively free range and spread across Anatolia and the southern coast of the Black Sea. The areas are so extensive that three hunters can hunt at the same time and shoot 2-3 large boars each.

Somehow, the Turkish nature tends to be portrayed as arid and rocky wasteland. While in fact the opposite is true. You will hunt in a beautiful green wilderness with all kinds of trees and plants. Aside from the reed beds and swamps, the hunting grounds are somewhat comparable to Romania and Hungary.

Hunting season

Hunting wild boar is possible from January to December. The chances of success are always high, but the best periods are during the waxing moon or at full moon.

When you go hunting, you and an experienced guide will ride and stalk to the places where the wild boar are. This is tension at its peak. The boar of your life has never been closer.

Travel details

The hotel or guesthouse where you stay on this trip is close to the hunting grounds. All rooms are furnished with attention to detail and equipped with western-style sanitary facilities. Here you will experience the never-ending hospitality of Turkey.

You arrive as a paying guest, but after this adventure you will leave as a friend. In addition to the hunt, this unrivalled hospitality is also a motivation for so many wild boar hunters to return.

Then there is the structure of the hunt. When you go out in the evening, an experienced guide will take you under his wing. Together, you will tackle the foraging grounds. On occasion, your guide may choose to sit at a promising spot.

Every trick in the book is pulled out until the goal is achieved: to capture a heavy keiler. We’ll be happy to go through the phases of the moon with you so you can embark on this adventure at exactly the right time.
