Wild boar attacks on hunting dogs in Czechia: The length of the hunting season matters

Original language description

Driven hunts with hunting dogs are one of the tools for wild boar population reduction. However, they may represent an increased risk of injuries for hunting dogs. This study investigated whether hunting pressure, measured by the length of the hunting season, the frequency of hunts, and participant numbers, influenced the likelihood of wild boar attacks on dogs. The results revealed that the number of attacks reported in a hunting season only increased with longer hunting seasons. Other factors, such as shorter intervals between hunts, the number of driven hunts in the season, or the number of participants, did not enter the best statistical model in our study. Although most injuries were mild, severe and fatal cases were recorded, underscoring the need for improved strategies to reduce risks and enhance dog safety during hunts.
