At the evening, my friend called me that he wounded a wild boar. Next day my relative invited us for fallow deer hunting in a special place and I know that we have to get up early, but without hesitation I said to my friend ok, we will help of course. After 20 minutes he arrived and picked up us. We went to the area, which I know well because I shot and found few boars there. He told me that he shot the wild boar from the high stand and fallen down, but after few minutes stood up and went into the forest, left side, but he shot once. He said that second shot was not good and the boar ran away. After we checked the place of the shot and found we drops of blood. We started the blood tracking with Diana Kleopátra. After 1-2 m there was no blood, but my dachshund worked well, but I felt that something was wrong, we went on wrong way. So, we started once again the work and once…after the 4th starting she found the right way. After 100-200 meters there was no blood. But we continued the tracking and after few meters she showed one drop of blood on the grass. I touched her, said thank you and went further on. After we wrote down few rounds at the left and right too, of course there was no blood nowhere. I felt that something was wrong, not a “normal” blood tracking where we were. I knew two things that we were on the right way and the wild boar wounded hardly and not every day wound the boar had. After 2 km tracking again Diana showed me a drop of blood. The terrain was hard, sometimes I could only move by crawling on my knees. After 500-600 m I heard that Diana barking the wild boar. The boar was still alive and lying inside his lair, arrived home, could not stand up, because of the wounded fewer. My friend gave the grace shot to the boar and waited a bit. I checked the shot of the boar: he shot the left ear of the boar, not blooded too much, so that was the reason that we could not find blood on the blood track. But the signs and the behavior of the boar showed that he got concussion of the brain. That was the other reason why the boar went around and around in the forest. The leash work was around 3 km long without chase. Caliber was: 30-06. Respect for the wild boar and the shooter too!
...and the next day, after the successful wild boar blood tracking...
