Ulv and wildboars

	In Sweden they had wildboars inside a large fenced area. The big one on the picture weighted 270 kg. (about 550 lb. I think) and he was fast as a bullet. The owner, Gunnar Kjellin asked for fun if we should have a contest: "We'll run across the fenced area and the one who GETS over has won"... :-)
Ulv, the dachs Lucas and wildboars

	Gunnar often fed the wildboars with what was left of roe-deers and mooses. The wildboars preferred this over fruit and ordinary pig food. I think it's the same in the wild. If, for example a roe-deer was killed by a car in the area, he gave it to the wildboars and it was gone in 15 minutes...

	On two occasions some of the wildboars ran away... Gunnar asked if I would send Ulv after them to get them back. I said yes (with mixed feelings!) and ordered Ulv to get them back. It was a wild run, but in short time Ulv had chased the wildboars back inside.

	The wildboars are extremly fast. We've hunted wild wildboars a couple of seasons in Poland and know what they are capable of - and wildboar herding is probably a little dangerous - on one occasion one of them turned back against Ulv for a counter attack. But it ended well. (After the herding, Gunnar asked if he could buy Ulv)
Cutting off...

	Full control. We also went back to Sweden the fall 2001. Click here for the Sweden 2001 hunt.
