Hunting Hogs in BC - What's the Current Situation?

[farmer47]

a friend of mine raised a butcher pig on mainly grass. it ran on pasture with his goat herd. they did not like the taste of the meat on this animal. i forget how he described it but unsatisfactory to say the least. i was surprised how well that pig did on a grass diet as i thought grain was a necessity. well over two hundred pounds and looking fit.

Saw the same ones in the same place last Easter. They’re at large.

Should probably knock down as many as possible, but so far we’ve just shot what we wanted to load up.

The local invasive species person that I had to report to, told me that although it’s legal to shoot them, they wanted them left alone so they could be trapped easier. And then I notice no attempt at trapping them….

Once people start shooting them n leaving them, I wouldn’t eat them.
Same as another spot I know where a logging truck hit a few. The others are eating the rotting roadkill…

Not as bad a Pickton Pork, but not something I want to eat

You don't eat herbivores ??

I do, not sure what I wrote led you to that

I don’t want to eat pigs that feed on rotting dead bodies, is what I was saying.

There isn't enough that I would bother going out looking for them but I would shoot one if I saw one in the bush.

Rarer than hen's teeth.

Best of Luck for any who try to pursue them.
You WILL need it by the bucket load.
