Hunting wild pigs prohibited

If you have mice in your house or squirrels in the attic, you don't stand there studying them.
Your neighbor has told you they are bad news so you take immediate action to eliminate the problem.
Same with all nuisance wildlife. This applies in all cases. Do not let them establish a foot hold and hunters out in the field are the best tool to accomplish the task.

Somethnig in the logic doesn't make sense...don't shoot 'one' because it will scatter the sounder. What happens when Coyotes take a fancy for them, they would scatter too. So you have sounders running everywhere, spreading out whenever they attract predators; man or beast.

Didn't they try some of the same fuzzy logic, told us not to shoot coyotes because it just makes them produce more ??

Let's face it the current MNR is being plagued by bad advice to base their laws on.
The new bait trapping and baitfish use laws are another example.

I agree. They always seem to find some obscure textbook or site "study" that supports a chosen agenda despite several others that don't support the official position that's conveniently ignored. The burueaucrats are enough to set old folks to f.......having sex.

I think maybe you need to check into a men's clinic if that's what it takes.;)

I agree Mike, I was just repeating something I had read earlier.

Ontario is in a unique position in that there are relatively few wild pigs in the province and can learn from other jurisdictions where wild pigs are firmly established. I’m no expert but it doesn’t appear that any jurisdiction is winning the war.

We should alow a hunt to be had if they are smart then you just have to out smart them . If they turn nocturnal them switch the season year to year. One year day time shoot the next season a night hunt they won't know what hit them lol.

Just letting them run wild is not the answer.

Years back Sam, when they were first running amouk in MB in the WhiteShell park area, I pondered if they were traveling east into Northern Ontario. With the human population density very low up there, the boars could go unseen for years.

I saw mapping not long ago that's showed they did travel farther west into parts of Sask and Alberta.

Really don't know what all the belly aching is about. Who says nothing is done. Isn't the Pickering pig incidence a good example of what's done when a threat is identified?

Not one was taken by hunting.
