No license for wild pigs in SK

Weird. I never heard of a licence. Never thought you needed a licence. Actually pretty damn sure there was never a licence available yet they are insinuating otherwise. And I know a guy who kill a lot of pigs and has been interviewed and had stories written about him and he never to my knowledge ever had a "Licence"
 
Thanks for posting...that article was good for a laugh...I especiall like the statement [wild boars] "have become a nuisance to farmers in more than 60 rural municipalites in the southern half of the province". Just like deer, moose, elk, rabbits, prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, tent caterpillars, cutworms...need I go on? If it ain't canola, wheat, or cattle, it's a problem for an agricultural producer.

There is no wild boar problem, just clever lobbying by farmers and Sask wildlife federation to try to make hunting more prevalent and easier to do for people who enjoy it. I am one of those people who enjoy hunting...the last thing I want is to shoot all the wild boars...its the only bloody thing to hunt that puts me on an even playing field with our countries aboriginal population (no license, no season, no limit!). Far as I'm concerned I want these pigs to populate to levels that see self sustaining numbers.

I'm not at all concerned they will displace native species...we barely have any healthy populations of endemic species in this province outside of a national park anyways. And almost all species either are draw only or should be. Let's actually get these things breeding and make boar hunting a reality here!

Are we allowed to spotlight them?
 
Spotlighting is illegal in Saskatchewan...for everyone.

In Manitoba spotlighting is legal for Indians hunting for food. However in some RM's bylaws may prohibit such practices. If you are opposed to spotlighting in Manitoba best to contact your Member of Parliament to voice your support to ban the practice.

I'm partial to it...like anything else in this world it can be safely by some and recklessly by others...

Well I'll be damned. Looks like they made spotlighting illegal for everyone in 1998. Looks like hunting at night is still legal though, just not around roads.

you are woefully uneducated on the repercussions of uncontrolled (would be more appropriate to characterize it as "total eradication needed" in this case) wild pig reproduction to a farming operation. Spend a few minutes researching hog damage in Texas, Florida, and Arkansas where they are fighting a loosing battle against the vermin (no other way to describe them).

Ill take it a step or 4 further.....you're not woefully uneducated. Unless you're making a funny joke, you're a bona fide wanker.

These things are like a plague to crops, and are very dangerous.

Go set up a lawn chair in a field near tisdale. Take a dozen beer and be sure to have the number for STARS air amb with you. You're gonna need their help after one of the 400lb males jams his tusk straight up your a$$.

How about some GPS coordinates. I'd like to nominate myself for armed overwatch of this individual. It's the right thing to do.:d
