Last year we hunted the record warthog at Blaauwkrantz,this year that record was broken again.The lucky hunter was Jack Manning from Utah who now has the honour of the Blaauwkrantz record with tusks just shy of 15 inches!
As I predicted last year we will keep seeing larger pigs as 10 years ago the warthog started making their remarkable recovery around here just like so many other species had already done thanks to our tried and tested habitat preservation and incentivised conservation principles.
Although a number of impressive warthog trophies have been taken this year, below Jack's Monster are some of the other outstanding tuskers taken in 2012 so far.
Jack Manning from Utah with his 14-12/16" monster
Debbie Gentry from Texas with her 12-4/16" tusker
Karl Evans with his 12-4/16" bomber
Greg Kleinig from Australia with his 13-10/16" hog
Having said all this,remember finding one of these tuskers is never easy.It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of luck!!
