Boars in Pickering
- Thread starter klr_guy

Do their need to be winners and losers? Coyotes eat pets, boars eat gardens.
Haha, that will go over well in Pickering.
News articles are now updated. MNR is planning on euthanizing them after they are baited, trapped and relocated. Basically five times the cost and complication to avoid killing them in front of karens with cameras.

Ministry of Natural Resources working to trap group of wild boars with potential to 'spread rapidly' in Pickering
The Ontario government is working to “trap and remove” a sounder of wild boars roaming east of Toronto that have the ability to “spread rapidly” if not contained.

maybe she'd be okay with it if you provided her with organic free range wild boar meat.News articles are now updated. MNR is planning on euthanizing them after they are baited, trapped and relocated.

Nope, meat comes from unicorns in the sky that voluntarily donate it. Any discussion of the real process will unleash full karen mode.

I should be clear... I wouldn't bother with Ontario.
I much prefer Saskatchewan and Alberta for shooting critters.
Hell... I'll drive two days each way to a buddy's place in Sask. just to shoot gophers for a couple days!
Quick Google search got me "Compared to other large mammals, wild hogs have a very short gestation period of about 114 days. Sows are sexually mature at 6-8 months of age and average 4-6 piglets per litter." Not sure about the winter cold factor, but this should be taken seriously.
And they breed all year round…so that’s a lot of hogs in a short amount of time.

Pigs are interesting creatures when it comes to adapting to the wild. A normal farm pig that escapes into the wild will immediatly find food, within weeks begin to grow a sturdy fur coat and tusks after just a few days will exhibit defensive skill sufficient to fend off all predators. 30 days and it's a full-on feral beast .

Coyotes won't tackle able bodied prey bigger than rabbits. Wolves won't even tackle wild pigs unless they are real hungry and even then only if they can separate one from a herd.
Maybe trapping is the right solution but I still think that given there are a known (and small) number in a known location it would be faster and easier to shoot them. Maybe try and trap most of them and get the last few manually? I have a suspicion the trapping program will drag on for a long time. Probably effective to constantly chip away at the numbers but I'm not convinced it captures 100% in a short time period (and the longer they are out, the more babies they pump out).
have you seen cops shoot? most of a cop's arsenal also won't kill a wild pig easily.
definitely cull is the right response, but with how underfunded some aspects of govt and all the red tape involved I fear they'll be in uncontrollable populations by the time we could've gotten this small group.
I was more thinking of a training run for ETF not beat cops with sidearms.
fair enough.
this sounds like the start of a movie. ETF team, simple forest practice search and destroy wild pigs.
rustling in the bushes? wild pigs picking them off one by one, covered in mud to hide from the thermal.
clever girl.
Anyone remember this "reality" show, this thread reminds me of it.

What are you talking about? permission from police? Court cases?
it'a n MNR issue... they don't need the police's permission to do their jobs. They might ask the police to be involved for citizen safety reasons, set up perimeter, etc.. but it won't be a police led operation.
