Why can’t I find boars in Far Cry 3?

▶

You can’t find boars in Far Cry 3 because they are typically found in the northern half of the peninsula, usually roaming north of the river up into the Mountain Area, and if you haven’t unlocked this part of the map by completing radio towers, they won’t be visible. The boars are a substantial food source in the Mountain Area, along with deer, and can be encountered during the “Mushrooms in the Deep” story mission, particularly near Dr. Earnhardt’s mansion where you can use ziplines to spot them.
