Wouldn’t they be better off with a Czech-made CZ 550 “elephant gun” rifle?
Bring in a bucket truck, build a remote control fixture atop 8t that will traverse a Dillon 134 or as one fella did 4 Auto 5 shotguns.
Park rig, bait all around it, elevate, using FLIR optics just take them all out.
“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.”
Most big game hunting is done that way - a shot through the chest, which generally results in a minute or two before death. Only a CNS hit will instantly down the target, but those shots aren’t as tolerant of near misses.
In fact, the pig took two balls through the head, and was likely unconscious/dead immediately after impact.
As for the laughing, who cares...feral pigs in Texas are nothing more than pests to be exterminated. It’s a plus that they taste good though! ;-)
I must not have looked closely enough, I saw one pig of the three kicking and squealing as the guy laughed - hey, I eat pork, I shoot animals - but it did not sit well with my morning coffee.
Keep in mind this is the guy who used to post graphic images of gunshot wounds under the category ‘humor’.
This is not hunting for meat, it is pest eradication - like shooting rats at the city dump. Most of the larger feral pigs - the boars, in particular - are gamey to the point of being inedible anyway (and then there is the trichinosis concern).
Buzzards gotta eat, too.
I really don't like to see these crackpot type videos shown. It gives ammunition to the anti-hunting crowd. Some good old boys shooting up a bunch of wild pigs with a cannon is a far cry from a sport hunter who is trying for a clean kill (or better yet, kills). I'm not sympathetic to the wild pigs. They have to be controlled everywhere they occur and eradicated in many places.
Poison? You walked naively into this one! You underestimate the intelligence of hogs. Already been tried, and failed to offer and widespread control. You also forgot about the collateral damage to other species eating poisoned food.
It's 'Am Shooting Journal'. Stupid crap like this is their bread and butter. They probably have a video of some idiot shooting a fire hydrant with a .50 BMG from 20 yards.
Or maybe something like this?
Waste of good meat.
