Big Game Hunting

Wild Boar

Wild boar is not considered a big game animal. 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 where normally required. If hunting on private land, permission of the land owner is required. 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.

For more information regarding wild boar at large, please contact the Manitoba Conservation office nearest the location you wish to hunt or visit the wild boar at large section of the Wildlife Branch Branch web site.
