I just look at it this way, if they arrive, that means there is something else that I can hunt and add to the dinner table!:goodstuff: very tasty.

Last year's update on the wild boar situation in Saskatchewan and how it came to be.
Yea I think 20-30 of these running around the farm wouldn't be a good thing...but that's a lot of meat !!

No true wild boar do not get that big, but we are really talking about hybrid or feral hogs. We breed Domestic pigs to be as big as they can get and those genes are passed down to the ferals. Now add in endless food sources from crops, and you will get 300 to 500lbs pigs.
Not saying they are all going to be monsters, but as we shoot the dumb ones, the smarter ones have less litter mates to compete with.
