Big Game Hunting
Wild Boar
Manitoba has been declared a wild
boar control area, which
means that a resident may take wild boar any time of the year.
A hunting licence is not required to hunt wild boar, but the
hunter must comply with other general hunting regulations,
including the use of hunter orange during
a big game season, and if hunting on private
land have the permission of the land owner. There is no
bag limit, possession limit or tagging requirements for wild
boar.
Hunters are requested to report the taking of a wild boar within
seven days to the Manitoba Conservation
office nearest the location where the wild boar was taken.
It is important to provide particulars including the location
where the animal was killed, the number of other wild boars
observed etc.
Please exercise discretion in the vicinity of a wild boar farm
as the owner may be attempting to recapture these animals. Hunters are also advised to contact the Rural Municipality
to inquire about by-laws that may prevent the discharge of
firearms or prohibit hunting.
Further information regarding wild
boar at large is available on the Wildlife and Ecosystem Protection
Branch web site.
