Wild Boar in Saskatchewan

[DrMike]

Fascinating article on wild boar on the prairies. Imported to provide food, they are quickly becoming pests and forcing the government to seek ways to exterminate the problem.

Shoot, sounds like a good way to put some bacon in the freezer Mike. I really would like to shoot a few hogs this year.

Another one of the better ideas when they import animals such as this. Sure makes a mess of things and causes all the other wildlife all kinds of problems. Same thing with the bucket biologists! Should put those idiots in a large pen with 100 hungry wild boars.

A splendid idea, David. :grin:

I keep reading this reports but I do not know a single person in the SE portion of the province that has seen any kind of numbers. I will be down there for Whitetail so I am really going to take a look to see signs.
My nephew travels at least 50 miles per day with his job and my sister also drives into work which is a 20 minute drive and neither have seen these critters.
I know they are nocturnal but you would think you would see them at dawn or dusk. I would sure like to help to lessen the population :wink: but to date have not had the chance.
Doc you are always welcome to spend time at my home just make the call !!

Blessings,
Dan
