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 makes jams his tusk straight up your a$$.

there is your problem, ya just ain't gonna see any from a lawn chair! You have to be in a tree stand for two with the beer on a brightly moon lite night, have Lady Luck at your side, be in the right place at the right time and have patients galore! Other than that, there just ain't nothing there! Take it from a dude that really really wanted to get a nice young non rank smelly one or two or three!

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!

Wow! I've never seen so much "fail" in one post. Maybe,you should talk to farmers and ranchers from Texas and Florida to Pennsylvania,Michigan and New York state and ask them how much it makes sense to to have "sustained" numbers. Quite clearly,you're not attuned to agriculture,whatsoever or you wouldn't say stupid stuff.

Dangerous? lol. Best to stay in your house, load up your gun and get ready. I've heard some have learned how to open doors so don't forget the deadbolt. :rolleyes:
 
There's a member on here called aylandacres. Maybe he'll chime in and speak to his very real world experience around Tisdale.

Anyone who's laughing about this is a fool, or naive, or both.

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...

Is it illegal for natives??

Not trying to validate any kind of pro-hog agenda here but the problem in the US is not a European Boar problem. If you look into it the majority are feral domestic pig or a very slight mix of domestic pig x European Boar hybrid.

Are you saying that the boar in the prairies are "european"?? I'm not being a ####, just asking. I know the ones around Kronau were escapees from a "domestic" wild boar operation, and I also know that our friends who raise them have no interest in being in a pen with a male, or a mom and babies - they're nasty.

Yes most of the the problem boars in Alberta and Saskatchewan are of European ancestry. They escaped from wild boar shooting preserves. I have shot several myself, including one with a bow.Even when I only had a bow, I never really felt as though I was in a lot of danger hunting them.

Yes, the feral boar here and AB are descendants of European Bore. It is a well known and published fact that many not only were escapees but many were let loose when operations became unprofitable.

Nasty.

Keep talkin' tough guy.

I can give you the name of a dude in the bow valley that lost an arm to one of the black bears that you feel are pets.

I don't know anyone who's been hurt by a crane.

I looked it up and natives can't hunt by spotlight anymore. They put a stop to that in 1998. They can hunt at night though. Just not with a firearm by a road.

Interesting. Our farm was right next to a reserve (well, actually, close to about 10) as a kid and there was spotlights all the time.

It's interesting that it's allowed in the US all the time, but it's blasphemy up here. Wonder why??

Yes, I'm told the Kronau "herd" ("sounder" I think is the official term) was partially a release...... I was using "escapee" as a loose term.

Are the European ones more docile vs. the american/african ones??
 
There are several "game farms" in Saskatchewan that offer "wild boar" or Russian boar hunts and charge around $3 per pound for the hunt. Which ends up costing $450 for an average animals in the 150 pound range. That's an average weight of a Russian boar. Yes, some males are large and can reach 300 pounds.

I would gladly pay any farmer in Saskatchewan very handsomely for the opportunity to take "wild boars" on their property. Perhaps we can make some kind of deal. If you waste my day and I get skunked you can start by compensating me at $500 per day. I have been hunting a long time and know how many hours it takes to see let alone shoot a mature whitetail. I have never seen a boar ever, anywhere - from Lake Superior to Calgary.

If this problem is for real...here's your chance to make a fine days return on your boar problem. If you waste my time...are you prepared to pay my rate??

$500 a day? You're pretty full of yourself. :rolleyes: These are farmers, not professional guides. How many outfitting services pay you if you get skunked?

There's no such species as an "american" wild boar. They're all crosses of domestic hogs with eurasian wild boar. Call them "razorback" or whatever, no difference.
There are no wild boar in most of Africa except a few in the very far north. Maybe you're referring to warthog or bush pig or giant forest hog?
None of them are "dangerous".

Before you get too lippy, maybe try google or wikipedia and educate yourself on the subject or risk having Mark Twain's famous quote inserted.
