Alberta wild boar

[SksA1]

i recently did a business trip down to Oklahoma and partook in some boar hunting, i got the itch!

is Wild boar hunting in Alberta/ Canada as open as it is in the states? do we need Tags, special licenses or seasons for Boar?

to my knowledge wild pigs in Alberta are considered a pest so no license is required open season all year round. could be wrong though, but the hard part is finding permission to hunt them mostly all will be on private property

In my part of the world we have a bounty on the critters. I snare a few now and then, get 50$$ for the ears. My neigbour had 16 in his yard awhile back. Shooting these critters would be a chore without a good tree stand. They don't seem to stick around the same area very long.

Where do you bring the ears if you do get one?

To the county of Parkland office, agriculture dept.

Hog Hunt Sask

Hi;

I went to Sask last month and shot two Russian Boars, one was 350 pounds. It was awesome.. Its very near North Battleford and called " Wild Boar Adventures." www.redmantrophybiggamehunts.com

Its not cheap - harvested pigs are 3$ a pound - but the accomodations are free and the owner / farmer/ rancher - Kelly Readman - is a helluva nice guy and his contact # is 306-445-4234. I posted this link with a picture of the big guy a couple of weeks ago.

I highly reccommend it. We drove from Edmonton and it only took us 4 hours one way.

We'll be going back.
