Hog Hunting with a 40mm Cannon

Taking this to another Level with a 40mm cannon with Grape Shot
Feral hogs poses a threat to the ecosystems in the southern parts of the U.S. Especially in Texas, which wildlife agencies wants hunters to shoot as many as they can.
Texas hog hunting regulations are minimal on shooting hours and shooting methods. So basically, you can get your hogs any creative way that you can. For many in Texas its open season with almost no limits of fun. Texans also are known to have the "go big or go home" mentality. Which this guy seriously does with his 40mm cannon.

In Texas people have already hunted hogs at night with thermal imaging optics. They have shot hogs from helicopters, air boats and pickup trucks.
Looks like I-outdoors Youtuber came up with this great idea after much thought and trials. He decides to use grape shots, which is more or less a super sized version of buckshot.
Much labor went into the setup of the trap, blinds and moving the cannon to this brush area. He definitely got the cannon dialed in at 25 yards. See the action footage of hog hunting with 40mm cannon.

which wildlife agencies wants

I KNOW it’s no big deal but you’re not using which right and it’s WANT. Agencies WANT. Not WANTS!! :)

As opposed to a 40mm Canon

These posts are notorious for their abysmal writing.

I do not like to see people laughing after maiming animals, a clean, humane kill should be the goal - there is enough suffering in the world already.

Sheesh.

There HAS to be a software package out there that checks grammar.

If not, one needs to create it.

[dp0622]

I didn’t see that. But I didn’t open the article.

Agreed though.

Looks like he got 1 hog. I saw a lot of them tightly clustered at one point in the video and he didn’t shoot them. I would have thought the whole point was to wipe out as many of the destructive pests at one go as possible.

If you wanna kill hogs, this is a dumb idea.

If you wanna kill hogs with a ridiculously big gun and get notoriety, knock yourself out.

Cannon at 40 mmmmmmm.

Ferals hogs poses a threats to the ecosystems in the southerns parts of the U.S. Especially in Texas, which wildlifes agencies wants hunters to shoots as many as they cans.

There, fixed it.

[gundog]

There is. I suspect that it does to grammar what autocorrect does to spelling.

Hog hunting was a bar drinking pick up game....

There HAS to be a software package out there that checks grammar.

It's called Microsoft Word...

Being polite, this guy has a little too much free time on his hands. And a bit of Deliverance in the making. Worth watching to the end! And, he is even going to eat the pig.

Hogs down there are no different than rats or mice in other parts of the country. They are rodents, they just happen to be really big. It doesn’t bother me at all to trap mice nor does it bother me to get rid of wild hogs.

All of that effort and firepower for 1 pig????

I would have been too embarrassed to post that on youtube.

Thought we were gonna get a mass kill there or something.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I watched it for the BOOM.

[Hot Tabasco]

a clean, humane kill should be the goal

The pig was killed instantly....
