Edmonton may soon be hogtied with a problem that it won’t be able to barbecue its way out of

They are a real pain in the Territory.

We don't get them down this far south often... takes a two hour drive to get into the feral pig country, but I have had 1 single one try to swipe my legs late at night on the front lawn. It was moving like a freight train.

I don't believe we need a season here since they're classed as invasive pests....

On private property or anywhere?

All out war in the southern states down here. Using thermals at night, helicopters during the day and traps. No seasons or limits. Watched a video this morning and the guy had over 80 hogs trapped with one trap on this place, and caught 14 piglets on this video. A lot of farms allow hunters on their property, and in some cases are so grateful they allow them to deer hunt on their property as well. The amount of destruction they cause is getting out of hand.

Pretty much anywhere but you'll need permission on private property, which isn't difficult to secure for doing a free service.

Have you tried wild boar? Does it taste the same as domestic pork?

It doesn't taste exactly the same due to less fat. They get a lot more excerise in the wild. LOL Just tastes a little stronger but it is definitely pork. Those little piglets are perfect for a rotisserie.

If they taste good, there are so many of them and they can be hunted year round, I'm surprised their populations are exploding.

Full of parasites though...

My understanding is that invasive species  (Pigs, Pythons, Carp, Lionfish, etc.) have high reproductive rates and low to no predators. (Including humans.)  

Efforts to eradicate them are not turning the tide, and most people do not care to eat an invasive species unless it is $1.00 and comes with special sauce.

Opinions on the taste of wild boar meat is mixed. Depends who you ask.

I found out you can buy it at a few places in Southern Ontario. But, it's farm raised. The taste won't be the same as wild.
