Marinade it 48 hrs in Mojo Criollo and roast. Sounds good to me.

According to Ted, they’re editable. He sends them to homeless shelters.

“Ted Nugent killed 455 pigs with a machine gun and dedicated the supposed massacre to Bill Maher and “animal rights freaks.””

LOL! I do like this guy.

Way to go, Ted!

It can be dangerous hunting them on foot on the ground.
A while back, there was a story in our local newspaper about such hunting. A man was killed by a big boar and several more injured before they finally brought him down.

Awesome. I wonder how much per hour it is to use the helicopter.

I don’t like cats. These are tree rats not normal size rats. They’re huge. We have cats all over the neighborhood and they leave the rats alone.

Most people who don’t like cats just haven’t given themselves the chance to really get to know them. They’re wonderful animals. Really. :)

Must be some ‘chicken’ cats in your neighborhood.
Most cat will attack and kill rats no matter how big they are.

Figure on 2-3 K per flight based on the airframe.

Job security. Insane — really looks like a videogame. I was wondering what kind of setup he had, M1a or what. Shotgun. Who would have thought of shotgunning hogs, but it worked just fine with buckshot. Very effective eradication. Just a shame you cant let more hunters get involved.

Yeah, I've seen them here crossing the back roads in 'Bama and Georgia, five and six at a time. And there's some big buggers in the bunch, too. The infamous 'Hogzilla' was put down about two hours from here. And three years ago, they took down a 15' 9" gator in the Alabama River that tipped the scales at 1,011 pounds. 115 pounds of that was a deer in it's stomach. Hell, back home, the worst we had to worry about was bobcats or walking between a black bear sow and her cubs. Living around here puts hair on your chest quick. So to speak, ma'am. (Tip o' the horns.)

I’ve been around cats my entire life. I don’t like cats.

The solution is making an indiscriminate trap that reports to a central office when it catches something. The operators in the air conditioned office take a look at the catch via video (while sitting in a comfortable chair), if it is a non-targeted species, they release it remotely, if it is the targeted species, they give it a mortal injury, and release it. No fuss, no muss. Very low labor. Very discriminant.

This would be perfect for the snake problem in the everglades.

I trust YIKES could be an appropriate response. I’m in the neighborhood like wilds of Fort Worth. The wildest critter I’ve seen is a possum, squirrel, and a few feral kittehs

Does 00 buckshot in a shotgun shell kill the hog or just wound it?

There are so many hog hunting videos out there. You could stay up all night and not see them all.

The year before we bought this house, a pack of coyotes took out a doe in our next-door neighbor's yard and left the head behind as a business card. Two years ago, my wife adopted a stray cat (yeah, as if the five we have aren't enough) and the coyotes had it for a snack late one night before she could fully integrate it into the current pack of house rats. (I was madder at her then I was the coyotes. I told her that they were all to the point where they weren't hissing and howling at each other anymore, and she needed to set up a litter box, food dish, and bed for him in the garage. But nooooo, I don't know what I'm talking about. Then she comes in the house one morning, teary-eyed, lip quivering, and says, "They got Beauregard.". I just handed her a shovel, pointed at the door and said "Dig a grave". Insensitive? Hell yes. Wrong? Hell no!)

I keep the shotgun and two of our pistols in Condition Two status at all times now.

I was at Madroño Ranch: 1,500 acres of prime Texas Hill
Country, home to a herd of approximately 44 bison as well as countless visiting boar and deer who travel over its low fence. Usually the site of an environmentally focused arts residency program, a few weekends a year it hosts a destination hunting school. Hog School is organized by Jesse Griffiths, owner of Austin’s Dai Due butcher shop and supper club, author of “Afield: A Chef’s Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish” and, to those in the butchery know, a figure considered to be something of a rock star.

Over the course of an hour, he dismembered the carcass, stopping to explain the uses for each cut. We learned how to wrap the tenderloins in caul fat for a noisette (a small, round piece of meat) and how to roll a porchetta. We moved on to a second hog, which Jesse butchered in all of 45 minutes, and a third he dispensed with even faster.

Platter after platter came—the noisette and the porchetta; the sausages; caul-fat-wrapped crépinettes, and the pot roast we’d smelled simmering all day; ribs and chops, braised turnips and creamed kale.

I didn’t see the video, but if the hog isn’t too far away it will kill them just fine. 00 buck is the same diameter as a .38 round iirc - and the hog is getting hit by several of them.

20+ years ago before over development in my area, we’d hear coyote and in the evenings could hear the cattle mooing. Alas poor Beauregard. Feral cats are something else. Not my cup of tea; however, I would have to agree with your suggestion of garage accomodations
