Their night vision scopes run about $10,000 to $15,000 each.
Feral pigs? DC’s infested with them.
How stupid and wasteful of government funds.
Why not do what the state and federal governments of the past 200 years have done when some animal is making a mess of things. Put a bounty on the offending creature.
Wolf populations were easily curbed in the past by placing a bounty on the canine.
It is a lot cheaper to have willing civilian hunter spend their time hunting for feral hogs than to spend $20 million equipping and supplying government employees to hunt the piggies.
A generous bounty of $200 per head would net the government 100,000 dead swine. I seriously doubt that the government hunters could gun down anything close to that many for the price.
Ping!
First pigs, then people.
This is not a good idea.
Good Grief! 12 men even with night vision will not make a dent in the hog population. We’ve been fighting back feral hog’s for the last 30 years here in Texas and we haven’t made a dent. They breed faster than we can take them out. We shoot on sight during the day, we hunt at night with spotlights. We trap and yes many Texas hunters are already equipped with IR and night vision scopes. There’s even a booming business of hunting hogs from helicopters. The wife and I did that just over a year ago using full auto M4’s, that was a blast! We got 122 hog’s that day and we were using Red Dot sights, 2000$ a day but we ate and drank well.
What I’m saying is it’s a war you can’t win! I carry a Panther Arms LR-308 daily in the truck and I’m all over the ranch and I manage to keep them somewhat under control. The most I ever got out of a sounder was 10 before they got away. Now if you’ll give me Claymores, A-10’s and a few Apaches equipped with 2.75’s and Hellfire’s I might could get rid of them, Oh and about 50 thousand pounds of soured corn.
A $100 bounty will eradicate them far cheaper.
