AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Georgia authorities are investigating the discovery of six loaded shotguns aimed at a food plot that were rigged to be fired through a network of Web-controlled cameras.
The Augusta Chronicle reported the guns were discovered last fall on Georgia Power Company right of way in rural south Georgia.
The set up was discovered by a utility contractor and it was reported to the U.S. Office of Homeland Security.
The newspaper reported that a bulletin circulated by the Office of Homeland Security said it appeared that the rig was only intended for illegal hunting in an area known to be infested with wild hogs.
The newspaper reported that by the time officers arrived to investigate the shotgun setup had been removed.
Maybe he wants some pulled pork for BBQ hash without actually having to, y’know, pull it off the bone.
Weird setup. I’ll buy that it was for hog hunting...either that or he had a particularly valuable crop on that land a few yards downrange.

Not using your brain and thinking you just may be doing something illegal is perverted. This set up is illegal in twenty five states, and probably the rest of them in a year. However, the operative word is there has been no charges yet.
For what?
Would you kindly post the law which backs up your claim please.
It's got my old Mossberg beat flat-out.

Well, I'm guessing that the model that our SWAT Friend above is carrying, as equipped, would likely set you back close to $3K.based on what I'm seeing in the photo.
A properly-used $500. Mossberg will get a criminal dead too, and you'll have that saved $2500 available for spoiling your family with ;-)
That being said, having the best tool for the job sometimes costs a bit extra ;-)
The other poster posed the link to the news paper, try reading it.
Shooting your mouth off is perverted.
You and a members of your assault force break into a home with a warrant specifying items that are not illegal to own. You trash the house looking for anything that might send these legal law abiding citizens to jail, while keeping them at literal gun point. After having a nice lunch and throwing your garbage all over the house, you decide you can't find anything. While leaving do you?
A) Apologize for the mess and misunderstanding picking up your lunch garbage.
B) Simply walk away.
C) Stomp a homeowners kitten to death and kick it across the yard while making threats.
D) Burn the house down with the homeowners still inside.
If you answered C you are cut out for a career in the ATF. (If you answered D consider joining the FBI) Don't hesitate, Obama just pointed a anti-gun zealot to head this organization and I'm sure you would have fun running around arresting people and calling them perverts even though no laws were broken.
“The other poster posed the link to the news paper, try reading it.”
You mean the article which indicated the property owner had committed no crime?
I said please!
Nice dodge!
Discovery has a special they call “Pig Bomb”. It talks about the population explosion and impact on agriculture. The hog population can double to triple every year.
If there were laws broken, as you clearly assert, why wasn't he charged?
“Ah, there’s the hog...”
Point....click.....Internet Explorer has encountered an unexpected error, and will shut down..
“NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!”
Feral hogs are a nuisance animal. Highly destructive and very invasive. Luckily, some are also pretty tasty and most States with feral hog problems don't have a tag limits.
...and like of personal responsibility...
Yes. I do like personal responsibility. Why don't you? Name the victim. Name the perp. Name the crime. Or STFU.
A piece of 3/4” pipe would do, with the proper firing pin set up.
Since it’s “remote”, safety isn’t that big of an issue.
I’d hate to cruising down the road and run into a 200+lb. Boar while it was in the middle of the road having a tasty meal.
