Sammanfattning

Hunting method was recorded for a total of 7725 wild boar harvested in Sweden during the hunting years 2009/10 to 2017/18. Still hunting was most common and accounted for 53.0% of the harvested animals, whereas drive hunts and hunting for protection of crops accounted for 22.4% and 19.7%, respectively. In still hunting, significantly fewer adult females were harvested compared with expected numbers from a random harvest, whereas the opposite pattern occurred for all other methods. The proportion of wild boars harvested in still hunting decreased as the total harvest increased.
