Ahhh...couldn't remember.

I have seen exactly three boar.

One large tusker strolling through a stubble field near Camrose about 15 years ago and one weiner pig that went by me at mach chicken in a pasture near Wainwright a couple years ago and another tusker in the ditch one night just outside of Viking.

I guess there is an outfit north of here that offers boar hunts but...I prefer to just leave it to my own luck.

Not sure how far you are willing to travel but other than a few "herds" in AB, they are having a real problem in the Moose Mountains, in SK. Last I heard they were even paying for your shells just to try to control them. They were ripping up the 2 golf courses there and being very destructive. However, in saying that I haven't heard anything this year! Perhaps others have?
Good Luck

No problem, only a matter of time before I find some. I've seen some Texan hunts and those pigs are pretty nasty critters. They also mess up the land pretty good... rooting up big patches of grass and making big holes. I'm sure farmers wouldn't like them very much if they have cattle.

Yup west and south of mayerthorpe has a pretty healthy population. I heard a few years back numbers in the 10thou range, but that is all he said she said

My uncle told me there were some in the valleyview area.
But he talks alot of crap, so who knows!

Lac Ste Anne County.......that doesn't narrow it down much but that's where they are.

Seen a couple in Red Deer County last week. My son lives near there, and waiting for him to get permission.

And it was feral; there are no wild pigs in Alberta.

10,000 ? That seems a little far fetched......

You need to start thinking alot more before you post. Some of this crap your coming up with is so far out there it's quite annoying. Where do you come up with these BS numbers??? 25 yrs ago? 2,00 released?? Over 10,000 now??? You obviously don't know what your talking, ssshhhhhhh

I live south and west of Mayerthorpe, there aren't even that many INSIDE the fences! I don't know where the hell you got the info from, but it is bull****. I suggest checking your sources before making spectacularly outlandish claims.
