Compared to other hunting destinations, Turkey has a great advantage in wild boar hunting owing to its geographical location and religious belief. The wild boars can reach full maturity as they live in widespread fields and uninhabited areas. The habitation of wild boars comprise almost three quarters of the country with a total of approximately 500 000 km2. The wild boar is unimportant for Turkish hunters because of their Islamic belief. Farmers, however, show great respect to wild boar hunters because every hunted wild boar adds to a good sowing season.
Turkey has various climates owing to the surrounding continents Europe, Asia and Africa. In the northern part of the country (Black Sea region and Marmara region), where a humid climate is dominant, reach the wild boars a weight up to 250 kg and more due to good feeding. Enormously strong wild boars were hunted with a record-tusk length over 30 cm. In the Egean and Mediterrenean regions, where a dry climate is dominant, the wild boars have little weight but excellent tusk quality up to 27 cm and more. In order to hunt wild boars, the best procedure is stalking or driven hunt under full moon. Every full moon season in summer is a good time to hunt wild boar in widespread fields and mountainous areas in winter months. The higher regions are mostly snowy, which makes it possible to track the position of wild boars easily.
The hunt season in driven is limited according to the current Turkish hunt laws. 8-15 hunters can join the driven hunt during 15 September-28 February.
