Warthog Hunting in Zimbabwe
Ugly to some, irresistible to many: an old warthog boar with long, curving tusks is a trophy full of character, and a fun, fast hunt alongside your other game.

How We Hunt Warthog
Waterholes and Open Ground
Warthogs come to water and feed on open ground through the day, which makes them a good target in the warm hours when other game is resting.
Judging the Tusks
Look at the upper tusks: on a big boar they curve well out and up past the snout. Old boars often travel alone.
Details
Calibre, Season and Area
Your plains game rifle is ideal; warthogs are small but hardy, so place the shot well.

Questions
Warthog Hunting FAQ
When is the best time of day for warthog?
Late morning and midday, when warthogs come to drink and feed in the open while other game rests in the shade.
How is a warthog trophy mounted?
As a shoulder mount or a cleaned skull showing the tusks. Ask your taxidermist about options and costs.
