The above is more than likely correct, that is the way the MNRF handles any escape deer species , "no license required shoot on sight ".

FYI cormorants are not an invasive species. Native bird decimated once by human causes namely use of DDT protected as a recovering population only question is a what population is considering damaging to its environment.

Yep! Wild Boar are like Bears. They can see bright color vividly and are considerably more cunning and nasty,although,it makes perfect sense to require Blaze Orange during big game seasons,only,the same as here in Ontario.

Exactly,:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I seriously hope both these boars are killed very soon. A lot of bush land in Caledon that these boars could sneek around unseen. One is definitely female and if she gets breed that will be the start of an epidemic. I hope anyone that sees these boars shoots on sight. If you ever told a farmer that you seen a boar but did not shoot it, He'd probably cut your nuts out.



Look to be pretty tame judging by the pictures.....Hopefully someones pets and are dealt with sooner than later.

I catch a wild boar.. I'll turn it it into this..http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...f2f07f89dc.jpg

Bit of an update...seems they are vacationing in the area....Maybe a honeymoon for the new couple. Yup there looks to be at least one male and one female. I say at least because for every pig I have ever seen while hunting in Florida, there were more I did not. Out of a sounder of 20 to 30 pigs, you may only see a few.

Seems they have been making the news in a few places, and getting reported by a few papers.
