Sporting Rifle Magazine Wild Boar: A British Perspective Special Issue

Wild boar expert and big game hunter Steve Sweeting’s new book Wild Boar: A British Perspective is an in-depth and stunningly detailed look at all facets of the wild boar.

“I have known Steve Sweeting in many walks of life, and he has excelled as both a Special Forces operator and a professional hunter. Steve and I have hunted both sides of the Atlantic together for various quarry species, but Steve’s long-standing and extensive knowledge of the wild boar always comes to the fore. The wild boar has proved that left unmanaged it can expand to pest proportions, as is currently the case in most of mainland Europe. If Britain is to avoid the same situation, knowledgeable experts such as Steve should be listened to. Steve certainly does not subscribe to an eradication policy, but looks forward to having a well managed and balanced wild boar population. This book is the culmination of Steve’s expertise and experience, easily distilling the knowledge of decades into these pages.” – Colonel Ben Payton USAAF (ret’d)
