No license for wild pigs in SK

The only wild boar problem is...there is no wild boar. At $3 a pound for wild boar, which is what I'm prepared to pay, this should be enough monetary compensation to turn pests into profits. Why exterminate them when you can actually make a good return on them? That is if there are enough to make it worth my while to book time away from work to pursue these beasts.

Looks like a dozen boars eating out of your deer's bait pile. The numbers are hardly large enough to warrant any concern to the agricultural community...and not nearly enough to have a sustainably huntable population. However there are enough animals to cause a few gardeners some grief.

Like I said...$3 a pound. I will bring my benelli m4 with hornady 00 buck and my M1a for those farther running away shots. My offer stands. Release the hounds...let the hunt begin.
 
I have seen one in my travels to date. A young one, light brown in colour. Looked about the size between a small and medium dog. Snow in a small opening of field between two stands of bush was about a foot deep and we saw each other about the same time. I was working. It took off through that snow so fast it was like watching a railway plow, there was a snow wake blowing off of its body. I never saw anything that size move so fast. It was awe inspiring. Thats the only one I have seen but I have seen in the same area what I first thought were deer trails and large areas of scraped field. At closer inspection it was pig tracks and the number and sizes indicated what Remlytr has in his photos. A herd or herds!! I know of one fellow here who took 4-250 pounders during the muzzleloader Mulie season in 2014 in that same general area. They are out there, don't kid yourself.
And if you don't think they can be dangerous or deadly you should watch a few European Boar attacks on youtube!!

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"

I'm from the SE corner of SASk. there are pigs all over here, I see them Elk hunting regularly, family members have shot quite a few. As far as anyone local down here knew there was no licence required. Folks shoot them like varmints,

Is that in zone 33?

I've never seen one but have coworkers that have shot a few. I've heard what I'm certain was a pig in the bush around porcupine plain

I thought I saw one on the number one. Turns out a truck with pigs overturned and it was running free. Still kick myself for not picking it up. Do know some guys who've shot them, but can't say I've seen thousands running around.

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.

As demonstrated by umchorn2.

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??

No one asked for your time, therefore your offer, and your absurd proposed rate of pay, is completely moot.

There and literally hundreds of us, maybe thousands, on this forum that would gladly spend a day outside with the boys for free, and shooting a hog would be just a bonus.

They're pigs, not targets for a professional hitman.

I be sure and advance my knowledge using online references such as Wikipedia. That's where the real academics get their info from.....some real peer reviewed sh!t right there....

Perhaps I should've said "warthog", apologies.

You go ahead and wander around in bear country, or boar country, in just your ginch. Try and let the cute hippo. Swim with Nile crocs for all I care.

As far as I'm concerned, a 400lb tusked male boar/pig/razorback/warthog is dangerous, and will be treated as such.
 
I know there are certain areas that have a big problem but for the vast majority of the province they may be some sightings but nothing like Texas. Id personally love to shoot one and wouldn't charge any good farmer a cent.

I highly doubt they would let a city dweller with an attitude like yours on their land...no matter how much you offered. Nothing worse then a no it all.
