To get a small game licence you need a outdoors card. To get your outdoors card you have to had taken the hunters safety course and register it with service ontario. You cannot just walk in and buy a small game licence.

OK. Is this a game of broken telephone, or what? All I'm saying is that your H1/H2 Outdoors Card is proof you passed a course, not a small game licence. You can legally hunt your whole life with just an H1/H2, … no small game license is required, as long as you only hunt big game and buy the corresponding licence (deer, moose, bear etc.). And if you are acting as a "class agent" in protection of property, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act appears to say that you can kill boar without a small game licence, just your H1 outdoors card. The Act also appears to say that on your own land, you or an immediate relative can kill boar in protection of your property with no H1 or license.
The note from the MNR on boar hunting seems to indicates that you need a small game license, unless you are acting as an agent. To my interpretation this means you need a mall game licence only if you are hunting on public land, or someone else's land that doesn't consider that their property needs protection from Wild Boar. But I can't imagine that anyone would think that they don't need to protect their property from an invasive, destructive, fast reproducing species like wild boar.

For a hunter to act as an agent in Ontario, you must possess a valid small game license.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

No you don't. You just have to qualify to be able to buy a hunting license. Have the hunter ed certificate or the H1 or H2 card as mentioned above.

well whoever is up for tracking/hunting wild boar in simcoe/york/scugog region you can pm me.
I personally spoke with a Conservation Officer in Aurora, ON detachment. You are required to posses small game license to hunt wild boars in Ontario, there is no official season on them; hence they are open all year. An unwelcome invasive species, already a nuisance out west.

if you are going to hunt them then yes you would need a license I suspect. If taking them on private property as a landowner or and agent of the landowner....no.
