3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Starter Read, February 2, 2006

By	G. McNichols (So. Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book for new hog hunters and has several useful thoughts for the more experienced. Of the 216 numbered pages 203 have informative content. Within the 203 pages are 97 B&W photos. The photos range in viewable quality from good to poor with only 8 photos being so difficult for me to discern what I was looking at that they were useless to view, however, the remaining photos were much appreciated. Well worth the $18 I paid but I'd be disappointed had I paid the $26.95 sugg. retail. The author sounds like he has the knowledge and experience to improve on this book by going into more detail about hunting the American wild boar. Also, I would've liked more information dealing with anatomy and shot placement and could have done without the chapter on hunting warthogs. I found this book to be an enjoyable read and I'm glad I have it in my library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Complete Book of Wild Boar Hunting, May 25, 2007

By	Robert W. King (Orlando, Fl. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is pretty comprehensive but not extremely well detailed. It is, I suppose, written for the beginner to intermediate level Hog Hunter. I was a little disappointed.
