• A bounty on wild pigs is now available in Alberta. The government is paying $75 dollars per boar, as well as asking Albertans to report any sightings or signs of the animals. The bounty program will be administered by participating municipalities. So far, Stettler County and the Municipal District of Peace have signed on.
