Wild ungulates are expanding in range and number worldwide leading to an urgent need manage their populations minimize conflicts promote coexistence with humans. In the metropolitan area of Barcelona (MAB), wild boar is main wildlife species causing a nuisance, from traffic accidents health risks. Selective harvesting specific sex age classes reducing anthropogenic food resources would be most efficient approach dealing overpopulation. Nonetheless, there gap knowledge regarding selectivity capture methods currently applied MAB for population control. Thus, this study aimed evaluate performance bias different hunting seasonal patterns (number captured individuals per event). From February 2014 August 2022, 1454 boars were using drop net, teleanaesthesia, cage traps, night stalks, drive hunting. We generalized linear models (GLM) compare these total boars, belonging each category (i.e., adult, yearling, juvenile), season. The studied showed age-class adults (>2 years). Drive net removed mainly adult females yearlings (1–2 years), having highest males. Instead, traps best juveniles (<1 year). Overall, global was higher summer, decreasingly followed by autumn spring, winter being worst performing Wildlife managers researchers should consider method, as well associated public cost, improve efficiency achieve results management.
