Chasing them with dogs and killing with the spear.

Just remember "PUSH...PUSH...PPPPUUUUSSSSHHHHH. Don't run away or the pig will hit you in the back of the legs..and any other "soft" spots it can find.

You don't want this guy on the spear..

A small game license is the general license to determine that the safety courses were done and therefore a small game license is required.

A minor correction if I may - a small game license is not the licence that determines that the safety course was done. A hunting version of the Outdoors Card (H1, H2) is.

Though I agree that the MNR response states that a small game license is required for HUNTERS wanting to go after wild Boar, I believe that this may only apply to public property, but not be required on your own property, or if acting as a 'class agent' on anothers' property. My reading of the law is that you could kill wild boar, for protection of property, with only an HI outdoors card with the permission of a landowner and acting as his/her agent. And I think killing boar under almost any circumstance could and should be interpreted as protection of property.

But full disclosure, I am not a lawyer.

See 132 (5) of the Act below.

132. (1) The following classes of agents are prescribed for the purposes of subsection 31 (2) of the Act: 1. Trappers licensed under Ontario Regulation 667/98 (Trapping).
2. Employees or agents of a member of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals under the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
3. Members of a landowner’s immediate family acting on behalf of the landowner on the landowner’s own land.
4. Persons whose business is primarily the business of removing nuisance wildlife if they harass wildlife or if they capture and release it if it is capable of being released.
5. Employees or agents of a municipality whose responsibilities relate to wildlife control.
6. Persons who hold a valid class H1 outdoors card issued under this Regulation, for purposes of killing or harassing the wildlife but not capturing it. O. Reg. 665/98, s. 132 (1); O. Reg. 171/13, s. 7.

A whole lot of nothing. Although a valid H1 all that is required to get that H1 you need to show either certificate of completion of a hunter safety course or the equivalent hunting permit.

"A whole lot of nothing" - uh, I beg to differ. The point is #1) a small game license is not the document that determines that a safety course was done - the proof is your H1 or H2. and #2) There are likely circumstances on private property that do not require a small game license to kill wild boar.

Okay what do you need to show to get a valid H1 card?

Not a small game license. Have a nice day.
