Yes there are lots of hogs around the mayerthorpe area. Most all the farmers that have had problems with them are more than happy to give permission to hunt them. There is no regulation to hunting them. Its anytime of the year.
As was said before, they are not easy to get, when they get any pressure at all they turn very nocturnal. Also as was said they like the thickest nastiest bush they can find. If you attempt to go after them in the woods I would suggest 12ga/ slugs. If any one is going through whitecourt, stop at the stoney creek hunting store, they have a photo of a boar killed around mayerthorpe you will not beleive how big it is.. somewhere around 900lbs.
