Boars are one of the many wild animals you can hunt in GTA Online. They add a touch of wildness to the world of Los Santos and Blaine County. They’re also part of the Wildlife Photography Challenge, where players earn rewards for snapping pics of various animals. They can be part of random events or challenges, like running them over for bonus points in Trevor’s Hunting minigame.
Where to find Boars in GTA Online
Finding boar locations in GTA Online can be a bit tricky, as they’re fairly elusive critters. Here are some reliable spots to check:
- Sandy Shores Motel: Head to the abandoned motel northwest of Sandy Shores. A boar frequently spawns in the courtyard or near the pool area. This is the most reliable location to find them.
- Martin Madrazo’s Ranch: In the Grapeseed area, go to Martin Madrazo’s Ranch. Inside the fenced pens, you’ll find several pigs that count as boars for the Wildlife Photography Challenge.
- Grand Senora Desert: Check the area around Sandy Shores, particularly near the train tracks and the hills on the outskirts. Keep an eye out for rocky areas and sparse vegetation.
- Paleto Forest: While less common than the desert, boars can sometimes be spotted roaming the dense forest.
- Tongva Hills: Near the longest creek in Tongva Hills, a boar can be found drinking water.
Boars are more likely to be active during the day, so avoid searching at night. Approach them slowly and quietly, as they tend to run away if startled. Using a sniper rifle with a scope can help capture a photo without getting too close. If you’re specifically trying to complete the Wildlife Photography Challenge, remember that the animal assigned changes daily. Check the LS Tourist Board contact on your phone to see if you need to photograph a boar.
