Wild boar hunting in Manitoba!

Lopoks like to me, Manitoba has taken the right approach after the horse got out of the barn, but killing the things on sight is good policy. JMO.

Yup, it's gotta start some time....... It's inevitable.......

Central Alberta too.....

They will never stop it ,here we have the same problem even in national parks ,in most provinces hunters hunt year round ,at nigth,day and with dogs and boars are increasing each year.Juan

Hogs are such a problem here in SW Arkansas, we have land owners begging us to hunt their pastures and woodlands. Many are requiring that the hogs are killed before removing them from the property.

The Alberta government has declared wild boar an agricultural pest and landowners are obligated to "deal" with them. I guess I'm on the front lines. Got a letter from the county advising that I live within 5 miles of a sighting and I should notify the County Ag man, if I see some. Fat chance there. There are supposed to be 60 around here, 1500 province wide, escapees from farms, that started in the late 80's as alternative agriculture. The message at the time was that, even if they escaped, they couldn't survive in our climate.Manitoba figures it's impossible to eradicate them, so we better aquire a taste
for wild pig. The stupidity of the situation is if they are on one side of the fence they are a domestic animal. On the other side, they are a pest. Sometimes it's difficult to decide which is which.

Thank God this happens !!!

Hogs are amazing creatures to hunt, in any of the many different ways they are hunted... whenever one might think has learned everything about them, and old wise tusker appears and surprises us with a completely different behavior attitude than expected ... they are always a challenge to deal (not all of them of course, but every now and then appears a good challenger to prove our hunting abilities at their best...

Hunting community owes hogs much... even more, for many of us they represent a very high percentage of our hunts!

To hogs all over the world !

Unfortuneately, Hunters of other game and farmers, who have to put up with them, don't share your enthusiam.

So ?

One man's treasure..........
So, let us hunt them for our own reasons and in the end find our own happiness.

Afrikaander, even though they might be great fun to hunt they are non-native pests here. They will play hell with our ground nesting game birds. I'd love to hunt them though!!

the chef

Kansas has decided that to discourage the relase of wild pigs, "they are a non-game species" and huting/shooting is illeagle.
I guess the never thought about all of the ferals that have been released or escaped over the years.
Won't be long until the Turkey population suffers.
I'm sure farmers/ranchers will take matters into their own hands.....
