If you've ever complained that hunting season doesn't last long enough, you'll love wild boar. From dangerous close-up shots behind dogs to quiet stalks in the deep woods, hunting the wild hog provides some of the most thrilling action anywhere. And because the wild boar is an introduced species that often wreaks havoc on native habitat, most state game agencies encourage hunters to take these adaptable creatures. For the hunter, that means nearly unlimited opportunities year-round across North America. In this complete guide, veteran boar hunter Todd Triplett details everything you need to know to take these tasty game animals, including:
Distribution and history
Scouting for prime habitat, bedding areas, and food sources
Interpreting sign like tracks, scat, rubs, and wallows
Hunting over bait, still-hunting, and hunting with hounds
Special considerations for hunting in the off-season
Pursuing wild boar across North America and around the world
Hunting javelina, the wild boar's distant relative in the Southwest
Chasing the warthog in Africa, the ultimate in hog hunting
Preparing wild boar for the table and taxidermist
And a host of tips for a successful hunt
Based on the knowledge gained from a lifetime of hunting, The Complete Book of Wild Boar Hunting is an unsurpassed introduction to a fascinating sport.

Have you ever had an especially memorable day in the marshes, when flocks of ducks or geese filled the skies and came willingly to your calls, turning to land among your decoys in wave after wave? To preserve those memories, many hunters like to preserve their birds-be they Canada geese, mallards, wood ducks, bluebills, or teal-by taking them to a taxidermist and having them mounted for permanent display in dens or trophy rooms.
But having a bird professionally mounted can be expensive, so these days many hunters are opting to preserve ducks and geese themselves. And for these do-it-yourself taxidermists, The Complete Guide to Waterfowl Taxidermy is the perfect book. Written by master taxidermist Todd Triplett, this ultimate guide covers all aspects of the art of waterfowl taxidermy.
Included are detailed, easy-to-follow chapters on:
Proper field care
Waterfowl anatomy and reference
Tools and materials
Skinning and degreasing methods
Methods of preservation
General mounting procedures
Flying and standing poses
Using artificial parts
Base attachment
And much more
