Looks like fun if you could not fall out!

These do look like fun. In East Texas you would need gunners on both sides of a Huey with 50 cals on both sides to get rid of all the hogs.

We have barely made a dent in our feral hog population with 7 kills in the past month. Have 4 days off again later this week and will give them heck again.

That's probably one litter out of 100. I think you are losing the pig war

Oh man! Not being into hunting, at first I thought it was kinda brutal, But then I got a big grin watching it and if they are really an environmental threat then I guess that's the way to go, no fooling around. Would of taken all the hunters in town a month to take that many.
.223 seems to be the right medicine, but that's still a good shot being able to hit a moving target from a moving platform. They just need to play "Ride of the Valkyries" out a load speaker like in Apocalypse Now.

Hope the meat doesn't go to waste.

Sounds kind of harsh but I'd concentrate on the wet sows and breeding sized boars if you want to try and make a dent in them. Taking out one wet sow with piglets or not and you've probably taken out at least 7-10 animals.

Now they are going to have to do something about the large increase in Buzzard populations!

You've got that right, skypup. I bet you'd like to be in that cockpit armed with that hog slayer you've got!
