I was told there was a small population that lives on the north saskatchewan river. Ive heard of lots of people seeing them along the river!

Check over north & west of Dapp, west of Hwy 44, toward the river. There were more than a few rooting up a friends pastureland many years ago.

I just heard, not saying it's true or not that if you talk too some people in the mayerthorpe legion on a saturday afternoon you might get some info! We stop by quiet frequently and by buying a few regulers some beers you can get permission quite easily! At easter we went out and got 2 and found out where they were hiding and they are in the thick stuff!

Oddly enough you are not the first to ask this question

On the main toolbar, third icon from the right is a Search tool ...... "giver 'er a whirl"

Come by Rocky and buy me some beers and I'll give you permission to hunt Sasquatch and Unicorns too! There sure are lots of "tales" about all the boars. Very few actually around in truth.
