When do you do your Warthog hunting? Though they may be successfully hunted virtually all year round, late April through October are the best months for Warthog hunting in South Africa because there are fewer water sources and the grass is short.
What is the average shot distance when Warthog hunting? Since they are often found in areas with moderate vegetation, shots when Warthog hunting are usually relatively short. Additionally, Warthog have below average eyesight. This, combined with the fact that they are short and have a tough time seeing over obstructions, leaves them vulnerable to predators. Though they have an outstanding sense of smell, a hunter may approach to relatively close range as long as the wind is blowing in the right direction. Due to this, most shots taken when Warthog hunting are in the neighborhood of 25-100 yards.
What is your average trophy size of Warthog taken in South Africa when hunting with you? The average trophy taken when on a Warthog hunting safari with us measures 10-12″, though we often take a few that are bigger. The brute in the photo below easily qualified for an SCI gold medal, measuring well over 15″.

What is the best rifle caliber for Warthog hunting? Though they are not extremely large, pound for pound, the Warthog is a very tough animal and should be hunted with a powerful enough cartridge. The .270 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm-08 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Short Magnum, and .300 Winchester Magnum are all great choices for Warthog hunting. There is also absolutely nothing wrong with using a larger cartridge, such as the .375 H&H Magnum, when warthog hunting.
What is the best recommended Warthog shot placement? It is tough to go wrong with a traditional shoulder shot when Warthog hunting. When the animal is standing broadside, simply aim at the center of the shoulder, approximately one third of the way up the body.
Remember to adjust your aiming point accordingly if the Warthog is quartering towards or away from you (aim slightly forward if the Warthog is quartering towards you and slightly to the rear if the Warthog is quartering away).
Warthog Scientific Name: Phacochoerus aethiopicus
