Warthog hunting in Namibia

• Male warthogs can be easily recognized by the four “warts”, females only have two “warts”
• These “warts” are “protective bumps”, not actual warts
• Male warthogs have very pronounced, banana-shaped arms 
• Very old “Past Prime” warthogs are recognized by the facial warts, which hang down a bit
• The skin is cracked, gray and very leathery
• Due to the jet secretion under the eyes, black areas can be seen there in mature boars

• They are often found at the water
• They are common in Hardap, Khomas, Erongo, Kunene, Otjozondjupa and Kavango areas in Namibia
• They are perfectly adapted to savannah and bush areas as well as shrub & grasslands
• At midday the boars hide from the sun
• The best chance to hunt a mature Warthog is by stalking, as warthogs like to come to the water. Blind hunting in a hide is also possible, but more difficult due to the high pastures in the rainy season
