I know it's not hunting, but this is the only place I could think of putting it. Has anyone ever been to BIG TUSKS boar farm in Conn Ontario? Trying to get hold of them. An ole boy here wants to just go have some fun blastin. I can't get hold of them no way no how. Anyone know if they're in biz?
 
I believe the same goes for all wild boar or fenced hunts in Ontario. I believe there are still options in quebec. I looked into a few but they offered a 100% success rate of harvest, which isn't what I'm into.

Buying pork from the store with a 100% kill rate and animals that were penned in tiny enclosures their whole lives, and taking no part in the process except busting out the Visa, is so much more admirable. ;) The animals are far more free and enjoy a better quality of life than any commercially farmed animals (I come from industrial farming myself), and in the end they get eaten. What could possibly be wrong with that in any way? Should we stop stocking lakes, and no more upland pheasant hunting? I'm afraid as hunters we need to get over ourselves and look at the big picture, and support our sport through and through. Pretty shameful Ontario can ban this and yet still sell feedlot meat in the supermarket with a clean conscience.

Don' forget, the left-winged, politically correct, socialists, run the country. And I don't see things getting any better.
 
It's bizarre hearing people who have bought meat at the grocery store deride private land hunts for being too much of a sure thing, as if the meat on the styrofoam had a chance or enjoyed a decent quality of life and dignity. It's all well and good if you eat meat, and having a 19 year old with a bolt gun kill your meat in a stainless steel room or going out and actually doing it yourself shouldn't be viewed as respectable and distasteful respectively. Our priorities and sensibilities are completely skewed by popular opinion, even amongst hunters, and it is a huge detriment to our sport. It's even more in focus in Africa, where beef farms devoid of natural species and pounded down to barren sand and twigs sit beside high fence hunting areas adjacent, which are plush with foliage and native species. And somehow the high fence hunt area managers are the bad guys for making a living off natural species, and the cattle ranches that wipe out the natural species and destroy the ecology to make cheaper Big Macs is AOK and you never hear a peep about them. Fortunately, those against private land hunting get to sleep at night knowing they are ethical, in supporting commercial farming and deriding one of the greenest business on earth. ;)
 
I think that's the place I went to with BIGREDD. While not really " hunting" flinging arrows at running boars was lots of fun and the meat was great. :)

I get all that. I've spent my fair share of time steam cleaning dead cow's armpits on the kill floor of a slaughterhouse. I understand that many folks believe meat is somehow born on a Styrofoam tray, and don't truly know the conditions their meat was raised in. I also don't have any problem with someone wanting to hunt this way, which is why I mentioned that options are available in quebec.

If I am going to pay a fair amount of money to go on a hunt I prefer it to be a little more exciting. Something I wouldn't normally do or have the chance to experience. If I wanted to kill a hog in close quarters I'd go buy a hog and kill it in close quarters. I'd actually really enjoy a dog and knife wild boar hunt, but can't find an outfitter. You seem to do a fair amount of exotic hunting. Do you know any outfitters or guides?

Well put brother. I'll admit that I don't really know how I felt about this type of hunt before, and maybe I am easily swayed, but your outlook on this seems to make a lot of sense to me.

Fair enough, my apologies if I came on strong I misread the take. Yes, I know a good guy in Hawaii for fair chase dogs and knife hunting boar if you're interested in a nice escape.
 
The Ontario ban is probably a result of the damage that can be caused by escaped wild boars, not some kind of distaste for canned hunting. I may be wrong.

Does anyone know if feral hog hunting in Saskatchewan is viable?
 
No sweat. The written word can be hard to interpret sometimes. And my wife says I can come off as a jerk sometimes... Come to think of it, she says that a lot. PM me the details of that outfitter if you could. Now I need to get to Hawaii...

Good luck finding a fun hunt. Around the Rouyn Noranda area of Quebec an outfitter has elk, boar and buff I believe...

That's what I was thinking. I agree with the ban as the risk of hogs escaping and establishing a population is not worth satisfying the very few who use such farms.

the true dream hunt club in laforce has elk, red deer, moose, bear and buff. This is the one I was thinking of. No boar though. a couple hours south east or noranda.
