Cortisol levels of wild boar clustered in blocks matching Gentsch et al. Clusters of cortisol levels below 350 nmol/L are defined as normal/baseline levels and anything above as increased trauma levels caused by increased stress during drive hunts and compared the hunting months October (n = 10), November (n = 52), December (n = 20) and January (n = 33). There is no difference between hunting months.
