controversial depending on what is being hunted. It looks like hunting them is okay from what I read on the government site:

Can I hunt wild boar?

People who want to help remove pests
from property are allowed to do so, and
there is no licence, season, or limits for wild
boar at-large. Be aware that general laws
around firearms and trespassing apply and
must be followed. Contact your local police
or Fish and Wildlife Office for more
information.

Wild Boar At Large: An invasive pest in Alberta
To report wild boar
at-large or for more
information, please call
toll-free in Alberta.

What should I do
if I have wild boar
on my land?

Tracks in the snow or mud, or trails of
groups (“sounders”) of boar
Signs of boar digging or rolling around
(rooting and wallowing)
Signs of boar eating your livestock feed
Boar droppings
Non-professional hunting of wild boar
at-large can actually make it harder for
organized control efforts. Boar are very
smart! Hunting can make them learn
quickly to avoid humans, and this can
make the problems worse.
