Let's Look Deeper

Feed Zone

Rest Zone

Area of Travel

As you can see, there are two hot spots and an area of travel I have identified. This is where it gets juciy, and this is the important part of my guide.You will see the feed zone indicated to the west with the arrow pointing to it that says "eat." You will find the group of hogs there. Wild boar are very social animals, and from what I've been able to gather you will usually findfive or six of them. During one visit I was able to count nine, but there could have been more. They will appear at the feed zone late at night/early morning around 0300-0700.Look to the east, and you will see my mark with the "sleep" indicator. This is the rest zone, where they go to sleep. You will find them here during the late morning and mid-day. Unfortunately due to my hunting pressure I wasn't able to go back and identify the specific times (the need zone temporarily disappears due to hunting activity), but you should be safe being there around 0930-1700ish and finding them. Those pesky monsters seem to sleep a lot. Use caution when approaching, because they lay down on their sides when they sleep and it may be hard to see them so make sure you examine the ground. I've died to wild hogs more than any other animal in the game. As with all hunting - be quiet, stay up-wind, and try not to be too visible. I particularly like this spot because it offers a lot of foilage and concealment, though it isn't overly dense. When you startle them they will either run N/NW or SE along the water. In a way, they are sort of cornered.Between the two need zones you see the area of travel. After spending hours in this part of the map and hunting these pigs, I am fairly confident that all they do is travel between the two need zones. I could be wrong, though. You will see that the area of travel is an arch, and that is because directly SE of that arch there is a somewhat large mountain that they avoid. It is a valley. They follow the curve of its base, and in the north area of the travel zone there is a considerable amount of coniferous forest. In the middle section it is pretty clear at the base of the mountain. I have also found out that it is effective to use that mountain to your advantage as a potential shooting spot as they pass through. The .270 with polymer tip rounds work very well.
