You might as well ask for a person's favorite elk or sheep honey hole.

Saskatchewan. Lots of areas but you pretty much need to know someone or go through a guide.

You could check out HogWild out by Mayerthorpe. Pretty good outfit he runs there.

Never seen one myself or any tracks or signs. Seems to be just as tight-lipped as here too. See pics of lots being shot, but need to have some connections

Long and short. It is way cheaper to fly to the states and hunt them there. I have hunted them in Europe, the States, the eastern block and here. I really enjoy hunting them but they aren't really great eating in my books. Just as happy to donate or have the meat sold as eat it myself.
The pig hunting is WAY better in all the places that aren't Alberta. That said, there are a reasonable number in Alberta and Sask so take the advice above and have a ball. I have never had any trouble getting permission from Alberta or Sask landowners to hunt pigs on their land.

2 years ago I saw a lone big wild boar heading across a field 1.5 miles NE of Calmar. He couldn't have gotten far.

Mayerthorpe used to be the prime spot but looks like they have been eliminated in the last 5 years. I heard non confirmed stories about tracks on banks of Peace river north of Grand Prairie.

Hogs
I seen one just before sunset cross Hwy 55 just east of Grassland, before the Hwy 63 turn off, 4-5 years back, just about hit it with my Bonneville, right where there is that low area south of the Hwy.
Hope that helps

They are all over. Hit up some grazing leases near edmonton. There is a nice group west of Seba beach in the grazing leases near the peat pit. A few near edson, Smoky lake there is hogs, friends up there shot 7 this year. Gull lake area apparently has them. Barrhead area has them.
I apologize to the guys that I gave your "secret" spots out. Y'all are just as bad as the farmers complaining pigs are ruining their crops, but charge $250 a gun to hunt them down in Texas. It has become a business now. Live trapping and releasing on high fenced leases.

I have friends that go To HogWild every year. $750 a Hog. For the money you will spend driving around looking for them and hotels this is pretty affordable.
I agree with Yeg Fishing if their really is a concern we should be sharing the areas to find them.

Man up and get them with a knife. Shooting one would be a waste.
