One piglet is born after the gestation period of approximately six months. A sow gives birth every two years. Wild hogs can be solitary, but they may live in herds.

Wild boars are 200 pounds (90 kilograms) in weight. Their head length is approximately 10 to 12 inches (30-25 cm), and their bodies range from 20 to 30 in (50-75cm). Wild pigs have long legs, broad shoulders, and short tails. A thick layer of fat is found under their skin.

Another option is trapping. Trapping involves setting traps near water sources where the hogs drink. Traps often include a scent lure like corn meal mixed with peanut butter. When the trap is sprung, the hunter shoots the trapped pig.
