Dorchester Shooting Preserve

Overview

Wild boar at Dorchester are hunted both for their meat and to alleviate damage they cause to our quail hunting habitat and forests. The wild boar is native to several continents such as Europe and Asia and has been widely introduced in the United States. A charging boar is considered exceptionally dangerous due to its thick hide and dense bones, making anything less than a kill shot a potentially deadly mistake. Therefore, in keeping with ancient times and a long standing southern tradition, we use bay and catch dogs when hunting boar.
