It is likely they will eastablish themselves at some point in Ontario and may already be at that point. Parts of Ontario that can have snow pack at depths that hammer deer will likely be better off where boar are concerned. Consumption by eastern coyote and wolves in those conditions will likely be significant and while it won't eliminate them it will help keep them in check.

SW Ontario where that is rare though will be a different story.

Yes and too many sightings here now. But unbelievable living conditions if they are smart sounders could grow undetected for years

i suppose if it were running the field here i could always snap a pig trace tag on it's ear and yogi can't prove a thing! :P
