Schwarzwild Lockjagd

The art of bait hunting for wild boar is considered a high skill. Experienced hunter Siegfried Erker explains what needs to be taken into account to achieve success. Hunters dedicated to bait hunting will be familiar with the name Siegfried Erker. In two previous books, he has already explained the techniques of calling and stalking. Now, he delves into the secrets of a successful bait hunt for wild boar. This is regarded as challenging because only those who manage to harmonize speed, composure, experience, and knowledge will succeed. With 42 years of experience as a hunter and wildlife photographer, Siegfried Erker is the right person for this "squaring of the circle." He not only provides information about the various vocalizations of wild boar and their meanings but also describes how to imitate them (with the help of various instruments). In further chapters of the book, this highly sensitive and intelligent species is explored with comprehensive visual material, explaining in detail what is essential for successful wild boar hunting. Understanding their sensory organs, reproduction and growth rates, as well as territorial behavior of this increasingly common species in the forests, is presented as a prerequisite for successful bait hunting. Additionally, separate chapters are dedicated to different hunting methods, appropriate hunting attire, and tracking wounded wild boar.
