The Sus scrofa Atilla

THE SUS SCROFA ATTILA
SCI TECHNICAL APPROACH

The Sus Scrofa Attila belongs to the Suidae family.
It is a morphologically distinct subspecies, presenting 38 chromosomes, compared to 36 for the European wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa), which results in notable differences in terms of skeletal development and body mass.

Morphology and Biometry

The Attila’s skull shows an average length, measured according to SCI standards between the occipital bone and the tip of the snout, of 42 cm, compared to 38 cm for the European wild boar.

This biometric difference results in a more massive bone structure, favorable to the development of long, thick, and well-curved tusks.

The Attila is also distinguished by a greater body mass, linked to:

  • its genetic origin,
  • the quality of Anatolian forest biotopes,
  • historically low hunting pressure.

Factors Favoring Trophy Development

In Turkey, more than 98% of the population, of Muslim faith, does not consume pork meat.
This sociocultural particularity has allowed wild boar populations to reach older ages, an essential condition for obtaining high-level SCI trophies.

Males thus reach an advanced age, allowing:

  • prolonged tusk growth,
  • increased tusk diameter,
  • limited natural wear, sought after in SCI classification.

SCI References and Records – Nature Tours

To date, Nature Tours holds three major national references:

  • Weight record: 355 kg wild boar, taken by stalking by a Portuguese hunter
  • SCI tusk length record: trophy measuring 30.5 cm (longest tusk), taken by a French hunter
  • Bowhunting weight record: 219 kg wild boar, taken by a French hunter

These results confirm the exceptional trophy potential of the territories operated by Nature Tours.

Behavior and Hunting Requirements

The Sus Scrofa Attila is an extremely wary animal, possessing:

  • a highly developed sense of smell,
  • keen hearing,
  • a high capacity to adapt to human pressure.

Its hunting by stalking and ambush requires:

  • excellent terrain reading,
  • strict wind discipline,
  • patience and precise shot timing, essential conditions for success on mature, high SCI-level animals.
