In early May, the black bear hunting season hasn’t started yet so we decided to go a little wild boar hunt in the Eastern Townships with my friend Jocelyn SANGLIERS DE L’AVENIR. Our small group consisted of only two members of badboys as Jean-Pierre and Pierre were working so Mario, his girlfriend Martine and Rachel were there. Hunting was supposed be quite easy! We took the day to visit few places and we find that this area to hunt was very extensive and very difficult to walk and provided, which made things harder for us and especially easier for the two wild boars that were there.
That evening we had a good discussion with Jocelyn, who told us that HIS boars were more difficult to hunt in Quebec and they were also the most savage and aggressive coming directly from Europe. We have therefore decided to have dinner in Magog to determine who would drive and who was behind the camera. After a short discussion and a few beers we decided that Rachel would first and that would be me who would try to finish the day. Mario and Martine are therefore behind the camera. Morning came quickly and we decided to leave early to enjoy our day of hunting is still quite EASY! Once arrived, we decided to hunt in teams, the girls together and the two guys together. After three hours and no hunting boar harvested, only two appearances of ghosts, we decided to change his technique. We have requested the assistance of Jocelyn and his family to come and give us a hand as well as Jocelyn knows her field and that more people than we’ll be better to make a little battered.
I’ll spare you the details of a memorable day of 14 hours to over 25 degrees to hunt wild boar! After several hours of running, walking, good dives, a few lost arrows and above the three times where Mario has been loaded and even picked up by a wild boar … It was a great day!
Jocelyn and her family were very courteous and hard working to help us succeed in our hunt. For those who believe that penned hunting is easy, think again, if you want to have fun while losing a lot of calories is the place! Simply call our friend Jocelyn at 819-394-3538 and if you want a meat of exceptional quality and more ago, a small butcher shop next door where he recites the field, it freezes and you just have to pick up your meat. If you want to go hunting for wild boars until the deer season opens or moose, do not hesitate and call Jocelyn him stating that badboys are gone and you will be greeted like royalty.
Until next time!
