The wild boar it’s one of the species of wide hunting interest with the most pronounced ecological plasticity in Romania. It is found from the alpine hollow to the seashore, with remarkable densities in the area of ​​beeches, sessile and oaks, but also in the plains, in the meadow and in the Danube Delta. In such places with massive concentrations of wild boars, you can organize sensational big hunting games, with or without dog handlers, unique in results and spectacle. Active hunting in the evening, with short bait hunting breaks is less common. More recently, as a result of requests from foreign hunters, bait hunting is also practiced at feeding places (more comfortable and safer), but criticizable in terms of sportsmanship and the possibility of prioritizing the extraction of dominant specimens that should be left to procreate. Specimens which frequently exceed 200 kg in the case of wild boars, sometimes even 300 kg, with fangs longer than 22-25 cm, are the ones that brought fame to the boars in the Carpathians and attract passionate hunters. Therefore, the hunting methods are chosen, on a case-by-case basis, depending on the possibilities and preferences of the hunters.

Hunting season: The period allowed for hunting is limited only for females and piglets, the hunting season being open from June 1st to January 31st. The wild boar can be hunted all year round, with an optimal time period between October 15th and December 15th, when the mating intensifies, and the solitary boars leave the hiding places and come to the herds.

The weapons allowed for wild boar hunting in Romania are either smoothed with a single projectile or with a bullet of caliber 6.5 X 57 and up.

In Romania, the national record of 144 C.I.C. has not been broken since 1980, but such a hunting event is not impossible at all, because wild boars with fangs of over 135 – 140 C.I.C. points are frequently hunted.
