"Spread rapidly across Canada".... I've never seen one, or know of anyone who has.

It's pretty hit and miss and they are nocturnal, but they are out there.

I haven't either until they showed up at a friends family farm. Hanging out in a low ravine of trees and swamp, surrounded by fields. Friend put up cameras but never got any during the day. Months later they showed up again and plans were made to go out the next day.

I was there when a sow and a piglet were taken. 6 good sized piglets lived plus another sow and her 6 youngins. So yummy. They were never spotted in that field again and now the hutterites own the land.

Before anyone asks, this was more than 5 yrs ago. Give you a hint, sec highway 757 and 18 was close by

I would love to harvest a couple one day.

Sooo ?? therefore it must not be true ???

I saw them 20 years ago around Brooks. An old farmer got in financial trouble, opened the doors and set them all free (the Russian ones) ... Kinda like all the wild/tame rabbits in NW Calgary...City bought the guys land he opened the hutches and set all his little furry friends free....

Used to see them fairly regular. Deadwood area up by Manning. Probably even more there now.

Was wondering if they are pretty aggressive as I saw old stories of them chasing guys up a tree in the states. Seems to me I remember the guy in B.C. who killed some women fed their bodies to the pigs. Not sure if that is or is not true.

Of course not, just seems like a bit of exaggeration to get a click on the headline. See your own post...

Not much wonder there is now estimated more pigs in Sask than people. The government has them listed as exotic species. Only Saskatchewan residents can hunt them and they must be hunted under the same laws and restrictions as all other big game. That's not an eradication program, its turning a blind eye.
