Wild hogs

[BL^CKTIPSx39]

You here-see about the wild pig problems in the USA
Does Alberta have a problem with these things or is it being contained good here?

[Steyr Luxus]

Yes, I am aware of the wild pig issue in USA. Not sue regarding containment in AB but wild pigs do exist and do a lot of damage to crops, contaminate water sources by wallowing in wetlands and harass livestock. Alberta does have issues with wild pigs which can be found through out the province. Hunting wild pigs in AB is simple such that when a location which holds them is found people get tight lipped as to were they are.

[BL^CKTIPSx39]

is it the same as it is here? which is we have open season 365 and no time restrictions(night hunts)?

[Dick284]

The biggest issues with wild pigs in Alberta is getting access, and the fact the buggers are seriously nocturnal.

If do get access, how do you legally hunt them after legal light?

[BL^CKTIPSx39]

not sure what AB rules are but here dawn to dusk or watever does not apply for pigs but we (thankfully)
have almost none anyways hope it stays that way



but you could hunt them at night use nightvision FLIR watever it takes they just dont want them getting established

[BL^CKTIPSx39]

i"d imagine the meat would be chalk full of parasites though

In BC night hunting is illegal, wild pigs or anything else, just like in Alberta (an hour before sunrise and after subset vs half an hour in Alberta).

No hunting or shooting after legal light in Alberta.
Section 28 & 53 of the Wildlife Act.
Regardless of equipment used.

There are two exceptions, but unless you have the necessary dispensation from the “Minister of things outdoorsy”, or have a documented type of ancestry, you’re pretty much screwed.


Where the heck are you from?

He sure is going hard to post, wonder what he is itching to sell, or perhaps what his past username could have been.

[fishnguy]

^ Lol. Probably the latter, but the approach is kinda weird.

With a trap.

In the Alberta area with the greatest pig problem that I know of, the local farmers are using remote controlled traps around bail stacks.

^ Hunting/trapping hint for the day, this is where the pigs go stay warm when it gets really cold.

Actually I'm not selling? anything.I just came here to hang out an chat with other hunters.
please try to Expand your obviously small brain for a sec

I do understand why your username is DICK though


Yes i am in BC so are alot of other people on here, is that a crime?
My relatives live in AB

[Twisted Canuck]

Being from BC isn't a crime.

Joining a forum (or probably re-joining) and bypassing swear filters, and then insulting other members right from the get go is.

But, I see somebody else already got you.
