Alberta declares war on boars
#227485 - 25/03/13 04:59 AM

CALGARY — While it's struggled recently to keep Alberta rat-free, provincial officials now say they're rooting out a strategy to cleanse wilderness areas of wild boars.

Ten years after they designated the feral pigs as pests and began offering a $50 bounty on their heads, the province is set to craft a more multi-pronged boar war strategy to eradicate the animals that tear up landscapes, harm other wildlife and damage crops, said Alberta Agriculture pest specialist Phil Merrill.

Good find on this link Story. A bounty will help. Texas Park and Rec made big strides as well with non-recovery rulings as well.

How are the Hog numbers in Pa. now-a-days ???

Good story.

One query though. It makes reference to Electric Fences,
the boars I've seen go straight through them.

Do you have some special type of electric fence
that stops them ?

First I've heard of it and I'm only one Province over. Will be in Alberta later this spring for an air rifle meet - will have to check with 'the boys' - Calgary and Edmonton area. I've a number of guns that would like to shoot some pigs.
