From what I've seen online... I don't think hunters will be able to cull the boar population unless they open night time hunting for them. These oinkies are smart and will feed at night the moment one escapes after being shot at during the day.
Ottawa has always had a lot of pigs at the trough, usually in a big stone barn with a copper roof that's green.
They are wasteful and destructive and often useless.
I think the New pigs in Ottawa are an improvement.
What would be a ggood calibre to use on these pigs? .233, 7.62x39, 30-30, 7mm mouser, 300wam, 45-70 or aomething else?
There have been reports (spoke to a CO last week about it) a looooooooong way west of Ottawa. They arent related to these guys, but just the same I was told to fire at will if I happened across one in the bush.
Afaik, they are feral pests, not regulated by hunting regs. Shoot all you want and enjoy your bacon.I've hunted them in NC with my AR. .223 is fine, provided you do your part. Use something heavier than 55gr if you can, but those will work too. Aim for the throat/neck. It's vitals are ahead of it's front "elbow". If you aim like you would on a deer, you'll just end up gut shooting it.
Can non-residents who go out for coyote on crown land take one? And are you allowed to keep the meat?
well i hope you dont (or do) end up like sask has
fresh pics from this very morning.
i hanged around the bush for these to come back and feed again......but they didnt

Maybe time to get the old 1903A3 out to the bush and destroy some of these dirty bastards with the old 180gr Core Lokt's.
Hmmmm
Anyone on here actively getting rid of these things anywhere in Eastern Ontario? I wouldn't mind some feral pest hunting.

Hope they keep heading up the Valley, i want my unregulated, no season/limit wild bacon in waiting in my back yard.
So...does anyone in Eastern Ontario want to buddy up for a hunt with me? Haven't hunted pig in 2 years and I'm itching to do it again

I'd be right into this. I'm in Ottawa, but have never seen feral pigs anywhere. Is there any info on where they are ranging?
What is wrong with some of you guys? When it comes to wild pigs the only thing you should be hoping for is complete eradication, not expanding their range
Yup, apparently a lot of short sightedness among these Ontarians, they did put the Lieberals back in power.
