My understanding was that due to the bounty, landowners were becoming frustrated with passers-by pestering or trespassing on their land. Allegedly some domestic/pet pigs were killed by over-enthusiastic bounty hunters.
There was some grumbling that the landowners were probably just hoping to cash in on the bounty themselves.
The concern here in Alberta was that, if the pigs were to be established on our boreal region, they would be there to stay. It would be almost impossible to contain them. The damage they would create to indigenous wildlife as well as farming property would be significant (see this link for an example:

At least that's how I understood it.
There was a member on here who started a registry/web site that tracked wild boar sightings in Saskatchewan, and if I recall correctly, he expanded it to Alberta as well. Here's the link:
