The Eurasia boar is the largest of its kind and has not yet been domesticated because of its aggressive behavior.
The European wild boar may be hunted in all Central European hunting areas except the high mountain regions. Wild boars are considered Europe’s only “Dangerous Game” animal. Old males can reach a live weight of 450 + pounds and achieve their sharp tusks about 8 inches. This tusks are the main trophy of a boar. Often the skin gets tanned and used as carpet or the taxidermist does a shoulder or full mount.
