Wild hogs are spreading rapidly because lack of predators and hunters. Most the wolves, mountain lions, grizzly have been killed off and few people are good at hunting these days.
excellent observation. also few people are good at hunting without disturbing the population of species within the environment. it creates unnecessary stresses, and distrust for humans. but yeah, people used to get killed or wounded sometimes by a predator, perhaps because of their own fault, perhaps because of predators not having pray, and lifestock would be attacked sometimes. not considering the interconnectedness within ecosystems between predator and pray, they started to believe it would be a good thing to make them extinct all together. you know the saying, every year about 63 people die from shark attacks, every year hundred million sharks die from human attacks. but some still believe there should exist no sharks, so no people die, instead of through education understanding sharks better

Its only a matter of time that they learn about traps the same as recreational hunting. They are smart and have a very strong sense of smell so different baits and traps designs will be taught through generations. But recreational hunting insist the answer cause most hunters treat them like deer sitting in a stand and wait for them to show up. Plus it's illegal to hunt after dark. Personally I feel there should be a bounty hunter program introduced with dedicated, licensed personnel that are allowed to hunt 24/7. We have night vision and infrared systems nowadays so hunting at night shouldn't be a problem. Plus, trained personnel will focus on the matriarch of the sounder and kill her first as the others will scatter but will return as they are awaiting instruction from the matriarch. And last, if any tactics need to be changes then there is a designated community involved that can relay messages and ideas to find solutions to increase culling numbers. This way if can get done fast and effective.

The biggest problem with pig control in Canada is that the scum bag researcher from Saskatchewan that’s leading the program on pig control hates hounds. Pigs can learn to avoid traps and hunters but they can’t escape hounds or helicopters.
I hate to point this out - but this *is* old news. Which is not to dismiss it, but to point out that I had been hearing about the damage and dangers of feral pigs and boars in BC and SK for decades now.
@@mp40submachinegun81 wolves benefit deer populations by killing sick and injured members of the herd. Without wolves, deer quickly die as a result of diseases
@@chriszelez7970 pig wins over a coyote unless injured or young and alone. texas parks and wildlife; Though predators such as coyotes (Canis latrans), bobcats (Lynx rufus), and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) may opportunistically prey upon immature wild pigs; it is only where wild pigs exist with American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), mountain lions (Puma concolor), and black bears (Ursus americanus) that any frequent intentional predation of the species may occur (17-19). Even where this type of predation does occur, it plays a minor role in wild pig mortality
Canada already has wolves coyotes and bears. But humans went and decreased those populations and then the farmers love to get rid of those animals. Seems that's one little fact they forgot. In the US and Canada we have been on a rampage to decrease the wild dog population and the bear population that sometime ago would have taken care of wild pigs or kept them in check. And that's what happens when you mess with the ecosystem.
I hunt constantly in one of the most, and oldest pig population in SC. Never have been attacked just so, wounding one or molesting them can certainly get a response but most charges are intimidation, and they just want to escape. Escaped non adapted pigs are most likely to not run and be a threat as the fear of man is not yet learned.
Not sure how well it would work on a large landscape, but I read somewhere that feral swine can be killed by ingesting sodium nitrate (which is a preservative in food). It effects their blood, causes them to become unconscious, and then die. So, if you could build a dispensing device with enough toxic bait, that might be an answer. The bait station would need to be favorable for feral pigs but unfavorable for other animals or you would have unintentional losses. Probably some really bright person out there will develop it.
Canada is in trouble there’s wright now and estimated 60,000 feral pigs in the most remote parts of Canada. Very hard to get to. if only half of that 60,000 has babies which is roughly 4 pigs🐷 a litter that’s 120,000 brand new pigs this year alone, and of course you add on the other 30,000 that’s up to 150,000 feral pigs this year and yes, pigs 🐖 can have more than 4 babies a year, but I am talking about the wild, not farmed, and the average

When you call it recreation right? It means the gameward's can go out and kill but the people that on the property had to have permits. Just to have friends help them out.
Canada has adopted a Southern US model and prohibited culling and hunting wild pigs. What they don't consider is climatic differences. In the South pigs can have year round litters, in Canadian winters no litter will be viable . The is the key to combating feral pigs, hit them hard in the winter.
@@MrVenona Hi I may not have been clear. Politicians in Canada look to the Southern States war on feral pigs and believe it's a losing battle. My point was in Canada with it's cold winters you can not compare the the two environments. Because the cold would eliminate multiple litters culling would help.
@@alexsandersmith1880 Now I understand. What I don't understand is governments limiting or banning hunting. Private hunters cost the taxpayers nothing, and it can cut down pig numbers locally. And what is the alternative? Trapping doesn't work that well either.

They are but far too many "farmers" don't keep their fence up good enough to keep their cows in, expecting them to do the work and spend the $$$ on a fence to keep pigs out is a pipe dream!
Unlimited hunting would surely reduce numbers and could even raise revenue through licences for the government to help farmers. At say $20 a piece pork licences would raise a lot of $$. Pig trapping licences would raise more $$.
So you have what's presented as an unlimited number of wild pigs on one side and a record breaking number of people using food banks on the other side.... Am I the only one seeing an opportunity here???
drones with flir cams, guns with flir cams and drones with guns should settle the issue. the snow cover and things like carcajou will stop them from going north. the more north boars are harvested and the smaller they are up to a point where they die during the winter.
@1 AB the funniest pasrt is the vegans being offended that parasite boars are being slaughterted by the tens of thousands to defend their grain fields. cattles dont have issues with boars, put a few donkeys in the field and you are golden, they will kill the coyotes and give the boars a run for their life or try to impregnate them, depends on the donkley. ha ha
If I saw the crop damage the first time, I’d do everything in my power to ensure it didn’t happen again… let alone to the tune of $220k in crop damage, in a single year. Maybe some of these farms and lucrative properties need to be more adequately secured! I know it’s easier said than done, but digging moats doesn’t look very effective. Pigs are athletic. They’ll jump right over. If a person easily can, I’m sure a pig can. Lol. If any fell down, it only appears to be five feet deep. With enough adrenaline, a pig can jump right out, no problem. They’re likely smart enough to see one fall in and know NOT to let that happen to themselves. So, yes, I know loads of these ranches and country properties are "free-flowing", with nothing more than wooden or barbed wire fencing. Or they’re separated by mere hedgerows, trees, or other plants, if anything. Some even have a weak rock or shale wall in areas. But these are all easily broken through or crawled under by most animals. There are so many open haps and open areas around these properties. I wouldn’t be comfortable with my property being so open and accessible, pigs or not. Just trespassing people or other pest animals. The same issue applies to ranchers worried about wolves and coyotes preying on their livestock-if it’s your lifeblood, your family’s livelihood, SECURE IT. Why allow the property to be so easily infiltrated? 🤔
My question is when did we get to decide migration and naturalization stopped? Most of our current "native wildlife are proxies from Europe. Filling the gap of the 75% of North American natives we lost after the Pleistocene. So why cant they be allowed to naturalize.
I thought the damn hogs would freeze to death in Canada, eh? In two words, to keep them out: electric fencing. Expensive, especially if you have a large farm, but I think it’s needed. If you have farmers’ insurance, your farmers’ insurance rates will probably go down in cost if you have fencing around your farm. You could probably save a lot of money if you grouped several farms together, and just fenced around all of them, instead of each individual farm. For example, if you had four equally sized farms in a square and you fenced the south-east and south quadrant of the entire square of four farms, you would pay just 1/4 of the expense. Then eradicate all hogs in that four farm area, using Pig-Brig traps, night vision hunting and heat detection devices. There’s a man on TH-cam, who catches a wild hog and then attaches a tracking device to the hog and releases him. Then he finds out where the group of hogs are hiding and nesting. It’s pretty incredible. That would be another way to get rid of them. Find where they hide out during the day. If you want to know that channel name, let me know.

In other words.......your talking about " money " . But........ once trapped / caught........none should be allowed to be moved / transported alive ! Dead only !

Its only a matter of time that they learn about traps the same as recreational hunting. They are smart and have a very strong sense of smell so different baits and traps designs will be taught through generations. But recreational hunting insist the answer cause most hunters treat them like deer sitting in a stand and wait for them to show up. Plus it's illegal to hunt after dark.
Personally I feel there should be a bounty hunter program introduced with dedicated, licensed personnel that are allowed to hunt 24/7. We have night vision and infrared systems nowadays so hunting at night shouldn't be a problem. Plus, trained personnel will focus on the matriarch of the sounder and kill her first as the others will scatter but will return as they are awaiting instruction from the matriarch. And last, if any tactics need to be changes then there is a designated community involved that can relay messages and ideas to find solutions to increase culling numbers. This way if can get done fast and effective.
Exactly 💯
The will to remove the pigs is the issue. If they are costing billions in loss revenues then put a price on the pigs.
Shooting them would help reduce the numbers if we can do it effectively. We have to adapt our ways . You can't treat these invasive pigs like sport animals. We need to be able to shoot at night with night vision goggles. Semi auto sporting caliber rifles. If this was done often on a farm's field they would feel the pinch.
helicopters can also be effective. i have family with a ranch in texas and that is what they use. rent one for a day or 2 a couple times per year and it controls them well. although it would be hard here with magazine capacity limits.
@@mp40submachinegun81 well, according to Alberta Agriculture they have been using the Judas Pig method since the NDP government canceled the $50 bounty. That had some success in the beginning with AB Agric. boasting their numbers, but now you can't get a solid answer from them on their monthly bounties. That's tells me the pigs outsmarted people, especially pencil whipping bearuacrats who think the know it all, and realized that when you hear a helicopter the sounder hides in cover of the trees. All the more reason why you kill the lead sow in a sounder cause she is the wisest of them all
The biggest problem with pig control in Canada is that the scum bag researcher from Saskatchewan that’s leading the program on pig control hates hounds. Pigs can learn to avoid traps and hunters but they can’t escape hounds or helicopters.
Shoot the pig with the red LED last it is the Judas pig with the GPS tracker.
Wild hogs taste better than human fed pigs with all those hormones and seed oil
O no, not Canada too! Those freakn hybrid hogs are frighteningly well adapted.

I hate to point this out - but this *is* old news. Which is not to dismiss it, but to point out that I had been hearing about the damage and dangers of feral pigs and boars in BC and SK for decades now.
Two words. Pig Roast.
You need a predator to control the boar.
the problem is introducing predators would also wipe out deer populations and things of that nature.
@@mp40submachinegun81 It is call a coyote. Stop shooting them.
@@mp40submachinegun81 wolves benefit deer populations by killing sick and injured members of the herd. Without wolves, deer quickly die as a result of diseases
@@chriszelez7970 pig wins over a coyote unless injured or young and alone.
texas parks and wildlife;
Though predators such as coyotes (Canis latrans), bobcats (Lynx rufus), and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) may opportunistically prey upon immature wild pigs; it is only where wild pigs exist with American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), mountain lions (Puma concolor), and black bears (Ursus americanus) that any frequent intentional predation of the species may occur (17-19). Even where this type of predation does occur, it plays a minor role in wild pig mortality
Canada already has wolves coyotes and bears. But humans went and decreased those populations and then the farmers love to get rid of those animals. Seems that's one little fact they forgot. In the US and Canada we have been on a rampage to decrease the wild dog population and the bear population that sometime ago would have taken care of wild pigs or kept them in check. And that's what happens when you mess with the ecosystem.
Did they take Roxham road?
A year later and the price of food and potential availability target these instead of deer.
They love treats. Barrel fed from Glocks and High powered rifles.
Won’t be a problem with the coming food shortages
4:30 'smarter than 80% of humans' very true 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hunt constantly in one of the most, and oldest pig population in SC. Never have been attacked just so, wounding one or molesting them can certainly get a response but most charges are intimidation, and they just want to escape. Escaped non adapted pigs are most likely to not run and be a threat as the fear of man is not yet learned.
Not sure how well it would work on a large landscape, but I read somewhere that feral swine can be killed by ingesting sodium nitrate (which is a preservative in food). It effects their blood, causes them to become unconscious, and then die. So, if you could build a dispensing device with enough toxic bait, that might be an answer. The bait station would need to be favorable for feral pigs but unfavorable for other animals or you would have unintentional losses. Probably some really bright person out there will develop it.
Canada is in trouble there’s wright now and estimated 60,000 feral pigs in the most remote parts of Canada. Very hard to get to. if only half of that 60,000 has babies which is roughly 4 pigs🐷 a litter that’s 120,000 brand new pigs this year alone, and of course you add on the other 30,000 that’s up to 150,000 feral pigs this year and yes, pigs 🐖 can have more than 4 babies a year, but I am talking about the wild, not farmed, and the average
I wonder if they have run across the super pigs that were engineered in Canada for meat.
Can't get any local help to control this problem because of misinformation. Let me go out with my mk and get food and control a bigger problem!
I could supply the food bank?....
The government should give the farmers some ar-15 rifles to protect their land
Who the hell needs an AR-15 for bores? Lol
They work great for pests.
@@TH-tl6sy you dont necessarily need an AR, but they are probably the most effective rifle for them. easy to use, low power, and have the capability for 30+ rounds, which is absolutely necessary seeing as how they roam in groups of dozens. by the time you can reload they will all have run away.
Wait what. 5:27. The Canadians imported wild boars, instead of a known domestic breed. Where they free ranging these animals!!!
Hunt them and eat them.
Take a look how Umbria and Tuscany take advantage of their wild boar. Every single restaurant serves wild boar ragu!!
When you call it recreation right? It means the gameward's can go out and kill but the people that on the property had to have permits. Just to have friends help them out.
To late, they're already in Canada.
Pigs are not a threat to the environment. Farmers definitely are!
Canada has adopted a Southern US model and prohibited culling and hunting wild pigs. What they don't consider is climatic differences. In the South pigs can have year round litters, in Canadian winters no litter will be viable . The is the key to combating feral pigs, hit them hard in the winter.
Southern U.S. states *do not* prohibit hunting of wild pigs. Not Texas, or Florida, or Alabama, etc. etc.
@@MrVenona Hi I may not have been clear. Politicians in Canada look to the Southern States war on feral pigs and believe it's a losing battle. My point was in Canada with it's cold winters you can not compare the the two environments. Because the cold would eliminate multiple litters culling would help.
@@alexsandersmith1880 Now I understand.
What I don't understand is governments limiting or banning hunting. Private hunters cost the taxpayers nothing, and it can cut down pig numbers locally. And what is the alternative? Trapping doesn't work that well either.
Are wild pigs also eatable? If so there is free meat.
yes, they are. they are only really good tasting when they are young, but a bounty program or something of the like would be great for food banks.
@@mp40submachinegun81 But........ once trapped / caught........none should be allowed to be moved / transported alive ! Dead only !

@@mp40submachinegun81 what do you think they make sausage? It's heavily spiced to cover up the mature pig flavor

Its a serious issue. Why are hardened fences not an option for farmers?
They are but far too many "farmers" don't keep their fence up good enough to keep their cows in, expecting them to do the work and spend the $$$ on a fence to keep pigs out is a pipe dream!
Try building and maintaining a fence. The money and labor is significant. The kind of fence you're talking about is a luxury.
A fence that can keep out feral pigs is very expensive. They can dig under a regular fence.
Great video
Real tasty i had sousages and boar and elk mix sausages real good mix Smoked.
4.31 Pigs are smarter than 80% of humans. I agree.
Bruh they look tasty make them into sausages and bacon
Can they be made edible?
Australia had a war on emu, and now it looks like we're gonna have a war on pigs.
They also have a feral pig problem.
Unlimited hunting would surely reduce numbers and could even raise revenue through licences for the government to help farmers. At say $20 a piece pork licences would raise a lot of $$.
Pig trapping licences would raise more $$.
Making people pay to kill pigs means there will be fewer pigs killed.
So farmers and pigs have the same issues. They are both very difficult to get rid of.
Apparently they’re in the property behind me, who do I call? We have tracks and if there is a couple, then there’s hundreds.
Peanut butter laced with fentanyl?
That would empty Kensington.
The best reason for .223/5.56 AR-15 rifles. People who say these rifles are not needed for hunting are narrow-minded, uninformed, or lying.
Trapping is the solution
Well Canada took away all of gun owner rights to firearms basically so you will all just have to live with the damage.
Clearly you're not Canadian if you believe that. 7.2 million guns belonging to civilians in Canada.
Finally something other than "Ukraine"
The wild boar is also an immigrant and has the same rights.Let him integrate into society.Anti-pig is racism.Pig live matter.
Imagine a higher life form decides humans are an evasive species.

Yeah culling of the lower intelligence humans.

Sorel366 says you where brain once was now big tumor. Haha buddy couldn't resist. Good luck with your chemo.
So you have what's presented as an unlimited number of wild pigs on one side and a record breaking number of people using food banks on the other side.... Am I the only one seeing an opportunity here???
So if we cant get rid of them, at least the cougars will have something to eat.
Lmfao.... I'd rather eat a wild pig than a farm fed human raised gaged pig. Haha.. taste better too
Farmers let animals loose ! Never happened before has it ?
I Guess You Just Can't Get Rid Of The Feral Wild Pigs In North America!
That ditch looks like a death trap for all other other animals.Pig farmers created the problem, now they need to solve it.
Good job on the trap keep up the grate work
Didn't Canada make these pigs by crossbreeding two different species?
drones with flir cams, guns with flir cams and drones with guns should settle the issue.
the snow cover and things like carcajou will stop them from going north. the more north boars are harvested and the smaller they are up to a point where they die during the winter.
@1 AB the funniest pasrt is the vegans being offended that parasite boars are being slaughterted by the tens of thousands to defend their grain fields.
cattles dont have issues with boars, put a few donkeys in the field and you are golden, they will kill the coyotes and give the boars a run for their life or try to impregnate them, depends on the donkley.
ha ha
It does already. Out of helicopters, after dark
Singular and Plural for Boar is Boar, not Boar’s. Get it right, reporter.
Let some of those endangered species of wolf that petas holding onto out the cage and have them deal with it
Wait until SHTF this problem will be takin care off in a matter of days..
Miniature land mines throughout the fences. Just a small mine that will severely harm the feet of a boar.
This may be the single dumbest comment I have ever read in all my years online. I love this so much 😂😂
@@hurhurhurhurhruhrurh Saaaaaaaaaaaaaarcasm.
Around the King city area they’ll get into a lettuce field and ruin 20 30,40 acres in a night or more
If I saw the crop damage the first time, I’d do everything in my power to ensure it didn’t happen again… let alone to the tune of $220k in crop damage, in a single year. Maybe some of these farms and lucrative properties need to be more adequately secured! I know it’s easier said than done, but digging moats doesn’t look very effective. Pigs are athletic. They’ll jump right over. If a person easily can, I’m sure a pig can. Lol. If any fell down, it only appears to be five feet deep. With enough adrenaline, a pig can jump right out, no problem. They’re likely smart enough to see one fall in and know NOT to let that happen to themselves.
So, yes, I know loads of these ranches and country properties are "free-flowing", with nothing more than wooden or barbed wire fencing. Or they’re separated by mere hedgerows, trees, or other plants, if anything. Some even have a weak rock or shale wall in areas. But these are all easily broken through or crawled under by most animals. There are so many open haps and open areas around these properties. I wouldn’t be comfortable with my property being so open and accessible, pigs or not. Just trespassing people or other pest animals. The same issue applies to ranchers worried about wolves and coyotes preying on their livestock-if it’s your lifeblood, your family’s livelihood, SECURE IT. Why allow the property to be so easily infiltrated? 🤔
And following along, at least the pigs are smart.
Farmers are the scourge of the prairies!
Free pork right there.
Not pests. FOOD!
My question is when did we get to decide migration and naturalization stopped? Most of our current "native wildlife are proxies from Europe. Filling the gap of the 75% of North American natives we lost after the Pleistocene. So why cant they be allowed to naturalize.
I thought the damn hogs would freeze to death in Canada, eh?
In two words, to keep them out: electric fencing. Expensive, especially if you have a large farm, but I think it’s needed. If you have farmers’ insurance, your farmers’ insurance rates will probably go down in cost if you have fencing around your farm. You could probably save a lot of money if you grouped several farms together, and just fenced around all of them, instead of each individual farm. For example, if you had four equally sized farms in a square and you fenced the south-east and south quadrant of the entire square of four farms, you would pay just 1/4 of the expense. Then eradicate all hogs in that four farm area, using Pig-Brig traps, night vision hunting and heat detection devices.
There’s a man on TH-cam, who catches a wild hog and then attaches a tracking device to the hog and releases him. Then he finds out where the group of hogs are hiding and nesting. It’s pretty incredible. That would be another way to get rid of them. Find where they hide out during the day. If you want to know that channel name, let me know.
Look at the areas 6 months after the "distroyed" the areas your see there doing more good then harm.
over the years people were critisizing killing these parasites......well, they're now moving into residential areas 😁😁
When little pinky and porky escape into the wild, they turn into tusked killers.
