Boar

Boars are large wild pig-like animals that can be hunted by John Marston for their tusks, meat, and skin, which are in turn sold for money to merchants. They can be potentially dangerous as they will attack the player and possibly kill him.

Five Boar Tusks are required for Hunter Challenge rank 4.

Location
Boars can be found in the plains of eastern New Austin, just north of the MacFarlane Ranch, and in abundance in South eastern West Elizabeth.

Beware of cougars and wolves, they can smell the fresh kills and come in packs.

Hunting Tips
Boars can be found at around 6:30pm north of MacFarlane Ranch, or southwest of Thieves Landing.

Boars will charge at you and your horse head on, requiring multiple attacks to kill a player with full health. Unlike wolves, coyotes, cougars, and bears, they wont run away or keep some distance when attacking you. Putting down bait will sometimes attract multiple boars to the players location, but be wary of Cougars and consider using a sawn-off shotgun for self defense as well as hunting Boar - in some instances up to five Cougars may attack successively! Though a Shot-Gun is effective a rifle can get the job done with 1-2 head-shots.
