Who's seen, or better yet hunted, wild boar in Alberta? (Or the rest of Canada)

[Ardent]

Anyone ever seen one of the elusive feral wild breeding boar's in Alberta? Better yet, hunted one? Or, if I'm missing a population somewhere else in Canada, I'm all ears there too. Just looking to hear more, and population's sizes (they've gotta be small, but just how small).

Last year there were wild boar in the Southwest portion of Saskatchewan near Eastend. I believe they have been mostly cleared out now. Mmmmmmm tasty. There are also wild boar near Moose Mountain Provincial Park that can be hunted with land owner permission. Also a relatively large number of boar have been sighted near Southey. I haven't heard of their status lately though.

I've heard there are many wild feral pigs along the river banks up in/near Edmonton - not sure if you're allowed to hunt them though. I've also been on private land hunting and it was a good time if a tad on the expensive side (up to 500 bucks per hunt). But they are indeed good eating (Try the hams double smoked )

I've seen them and I've hunted them up in the NW portion of the province. They are very destructive to the crops and getting permission onto the land isn't that hard.

Sounding interesting, I want to hunt wild boar, here at home. I find the best research is word of mouth, not much documentation on them.
