Oh I've skinned or seen skinned everything that has a hide in the province...
And while I am of the mindset that if wolverines could be bred to live in urban areas there wouldn't be a homeless issue anymore and likely crime rates would go way down fairly rapidly due to shitrats not skulking around anymore in the shadows, I don't think the body form on a weasel lends itself to the same magnitude of strength that a hog has. That's all.
But I'm not really interested in arguing about it because it would likely be easier to prove what happened to Amelia Earhart, so fill ya boots.

I've seen them in Alberta but never seen here. At one time there were a few AB WMUs where you could send in for a $50 bounty if you could produce a set of ears.
A friend found a bunch while scouting whitetails and we hunted them periodically. In terms of sign they weren't very subtle. They bombed around spruce swamps leaving tracks like little drunk rototillers. That population made it through a few winters but a serious snowfall did them in; it seems that their short legs couldn't outrun the wolves.
They were really good eating, tasted something like a pig mixed with a domestic cow. A slow-smoked shoulder yielded tasty pulled boar tacos.
They were also surprisingly tough. A buddy hit one squarely in the shoulder with a 9.3 and it went another 80 yards before it piled up.
Can't comment on their origins, but these ones were about 70 pounds on the hoof, mottled colouring and tiny tusks. I'd definitely hunt them again if given the chance.

I seen a old global news clip on YouTube about pigs in bc. The clip was a few years old. But it was on Christina lake. I guess they had/have a pig issue. Big enough it made the news. I’m not sure if they hunted them out. But it was an eye opener to how much damage they can do.
Tough animals

Thanks for all the info Kodiak
Ever skin a "Field Lion"?
I have heard there are many ways?
They must have brought them in to take over security for the "Pot Bears" once their contract was up lol. You know pound for pound their tuffer then them too!
Have a good one

Yupp, depends on how one defines 'strong'
I bet a wolverine could be folded in half, try that with a pig.
I remember a story long ago, may even have been in Outdoor Life mag, about how a vehicle hitting a pig on the road could wind up being flipped over, as the pig rolled underneath and when the legs came up they were so stiff they could toss the car up. One for Ripley's maybe.

There is a German gentleman outside of Christina Lake that imported European Boars and was raising them back then. He had several escapees that were causing big problems. I have a buddy that smoked one in his wife's garden almost ten years ago. Gave me a shoulder to slow cook.
Spectacular meat, but not worth the ecological damage that they bring to an ecosystem.
