Try Wharfedale Angling Classics, Fly Tying Materials may have some in stock.
You do know its just known as wild pig in some listings.

I was able to make do with one white elk hair and one black moose hair; these are easier obtainable (at least over here in Prague) and the end look - Elk & Moose Shuttlecock - is very comparable to that of the Peccary buzzer patterns. The combination works surprisingly well on spinner patterns as well.

I may be sticking my foot in my mouth but wouldn't the bristles off the ruff of a wild boar do the job just as well? I've hunted both and haven't really noticed any major difference in the bristles when hauling them out. I realize that wild boar isn't common in the U.K. but on the continent they're all over the place.

Take care

Terry
