You can hunt wild boar in Manitoba. Last year there were several taken in my area, but this year has been very quiet. Have not seen or heard of any taken.
 
I have never seen them in Alberta, but I have heard they are in the East. From what I know of Boars they prefer to travel along major waterways, looks like they are using the North Sask.

I would love to "chasse le sanglier" it has always been a dream of mine. Not to enthusiastic about the potential damage to our indigenous flora and fauna though.
 
There is a wild population in the Ottawa area that is being monitored by the MNR. There are also a couple of razor back farms in the Maskoka and Christian Island area and a few escaped razors have established their own small populations. There has been a few sightings across Southern Ontario which the MNR somewhat monitors because of the potential problem they may cause to what is left of farming in Ontario. They have been a real problem in Texas and is all out war down there. They are such a big problem down there that as long as you are not trespassing, the State has no restrictions on hog hunts 24/7. In Ontario, you will need a small games license, can't hunt at night, etc.
 
I bought a BLR in 358 Win particularly for wild boar hunting. There were many around these parts. Seems like when they heard I was coming and thunder was coming with me, they all took off and there are non around here, anymore! So, I sold my 358.

In New Brunswick, even though there are sightings, it is illegal to shoot a wild boar.

Its the old, "everything which is not allowed is forbidden".

Who cares what the law says? It's an invasive species that poses a very significant threat to native wildlife, farmers, and the public. Shoot, shovel (well, eat in this case), and shut up.

It may have changed recently in Alberta but it used to be that wild boar (there used to be some on the Red Deer river around Rosebud) were off limits to hunters because they were considered "escaped livestock" and if you shot one (and told anyone) then you would have to pay the wild boar farmer from whom it had escaped.

They don't make that good of bacon very high fat in their bellies.

how about ham? Some folks say they smell real bad. Talked to a fello exhibitor at a gun show that had the opportunity to get some wild boar meat and he couldn't eat it, because of the stench. I suppose the younger the animal the better, but! What are your experiences?
