End clap for Phiphi, the star wild boar of Aveyron

When he was captured on November 2, 2022, Phiphi the star wild boar of Aveyron weighed 40 kg. Equipped with a GPS collar as part of a research project on the movement of big game, he will have been followed in the slightest of her travels We regularly talk to you about Phiphi and her wanderings (see our article)

Phiphi the wild boar has almost tripled his weight in 2 years, the canteen is good in Aveyron

The Aveyron Hunters Federation has no equal when it comes to recounting the adventures of the animals that it equips with GPS collars. So we let him tell the story of their Phiphi.

« Phiphi, our GPS-equipped wild boar, taught us a lot. For several months, he traveled from commune to commune. Returning regularly to the commune of Centers where we had captured it.

During hunting season, he changed towns almost every day. Captured on November 2, 2022, it will have established itself in no less than 11 different municipalities in 6 months. At the end of the GPS tracking, he chose to stay in the towns of Calmont and Manhac. However, since the fall of his necklace, no one had managed to take it.

When hunters crossed his path, he had a habit of not fleeing without giving the dogs a few hits. To be honest, he had a really bad temper. Besides the fact that he was a true loner, he also had a signature of not settling in big discounts. Preferring to sleep at the foot of a holly tree, in a hedge, or to lie down under three ferns. Truthful. Most of Phiphi's discounts weren't big discounts at all. Besides, its last shed was a hedge. Still, this somewhat contrarian technique, consisting of being where you are not expected, has long paid off.”.

Phiphi: end clap in Manhac

The hunters from the alliance between Manhac, the Moyrazes plateau and Boussac understood Phiphi's technique well. Reviewing their classics, they started looking where one would not have spontaneously put a dog.

For the story Phiphi was stored on Manhac and we owe it to Renaud and Francis. Surveyed by Gilles, Renaud and Jacky with the hunters' dogs from the Moyrazes plateau. And he was killed by two Boussac troops.

Did you say agreement?! Difficult to do better! It's Christian and Patrick who shoot. Both touch. In the end Phiphi, which we had equipped with a GPS collar at 40 kg in 2022, weighed 108.10 kg in 2024.
