I was wondering if anyone has experience going hunting large European Wild boar? I saw a website for Huntromania has anyone used them? Any other suggestions? It would be for 2026.

Thanks for any information

I saw quite a few boar when I was hunting with Marius.

I hunted fallow deer with Marius/HuntRomania. It was a good hunt.

You might consider how you want to hunt boars. There are baited hunts, driven hunts, spot and stalk hunts. There are a lot of good options in Europe. A Monteria in Spain is a very good option for a driven boar hunt. A spring roe Deer and boar hunt is a very good option for spot and stalk. I took these in Sweden.

Marius M. is the owner of HuntRomania
I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding because all my African hunts have been with Marius at KMG. Quite a coincidence the have the same first name
 
I have hunted wild boar in Spain with Ignacio de Navasques owner of Great European Hunts.

And with Martin Neuper in Austria, owner of FN Hunting. https://www.fnhunting.com/
Austria Hunting Wild Boar


Either can set you up with spot an stalk or stand opportunities, and Martin offers a wonderful driven hunt every year. Boar are typically an easy adjunct for another European species. The Spanish boar was taken as part of an Ibex hunt, and the Austrian boar as part of an Alpine chamois hunt.
 
Some of those are bovine sized. Like a refrigerator on legs.
I can imagine how tough the skin on those porkers must be.
Amazing

Gosh those are HUGE. Wonderful trophies
 
The Romanian native wild boars are free range and body size can reach 300 kg. In other European countries they don’t reach even 60-100 kg just by exception or in fenced areas.

Turkiye has huge wild boars.

We have a lot of them in Spain, but as Marius said, 100 kg. would be an exceptional animal.
 
There are some fine specimens there.

Although pigs are widespread in Australia 100kg plus is considered large pig in many parts being that it is often dry and arid country.
Other areas with higher rainfall , forests or fertile soil produce bigger animals that in turn probably breed larger offspring slowly increasing the size from good genetics.
 
A couple of huge Aussie Boars, one from this season !

Carpathian Mountains are well know for diversity and big trophies on most of the species. Natural selection ( highest bear population, big number of wolves, lynx), hunting management and free movement of the species contribute to have large body size of most of those species. Only the strongest can survive. Of course the biggest body size of boars are in low areas where are the corn fields, where a 4 years boar can reach 250kg. In the Carpathian Mountains the active males have more muscles then fat.
The best time to hunt them is winter and spring.

I’m actually in Romania right now, just finishing up a Carpathian Chamois and Brown Bear hunt with Marius at @HUNTROMANIA. I will do a full report of my hunt when I get back to the U.S.

Romania is excellent hunting. Varied terrain, numerous large areas to hunt, and a lot of game. We did see some boar even though we were not really looking. They are impressive!

Marius is very well organized, and Romania is a very nice place (more on that in my own hunt report).

You would do well to hunt the big boars of Romania with Marius.
