  • As someone with a farm in the middle of the worst infestation area in N. Alberta, hunting can control them, but it has to be very, very intense. We killed about 300 of them over 4 years and haven’t seen a pig or pig sign in almost 3 years now, by hunting down sounders to the piglet, and doing it quickly before they could spread out.

    But the same goes for trapping. We had the province “trapping” but they never really wiped out sounders entirely and it never improved the areas that were being trapped. When they brought a different group in that did it properly, they made a difference.

    A bunch of weekend warriors out plinking for them does not accomplish anything.
