Texas feral pig extermination "hunt"

[jayste]

Didn't the video mention a group of land owners got together and hired them to eradicate the hogs? That could actually be reasonably priced. Wipe out a large chunk of the population from the air to get them under control and then use traditional hunting to get the rest. Seems like a good bang for the buck with as many as they got so quickly. Think about how long it would take for ground hunters to shoot a hundred hogs VS two guys in a helicopter.

Moss, should that be a "good bang for the boar"?

I'm with Eddie.. I had to laugh when I saw them wearing camo.... hey if it makes them feel more like hunters, more power to'em. lol

Maybe Eddie could make a "Camp Maribou" destination for hog hunter wannabes (like me). Always thought it would be fun, and now it looks to be a public service as well.

I too wondered why the camo. After reading thier replies to posted questions, they wore their camo jackets because the weather was cold and that's what they had to wear. Seemed to be a very proffesional crew - certainly very skilled in my opinion.

It's easy with practice to kill things with a gun when no one is shooting back at you. LOL

True. Skill comes with practice. Not being shot at would make any task easier, no doubt.

If hogs had opposable thumbs and firearms, we'd all be doomed!

Would you be needing someone to shoot towards you while you practice? Careful, you might get volunteers, lot of people looking for work these days

I bet the coyotes ate good for the next 2 weeks.
Helicopters are about the best at quick eradication. Cover many square miles.

The guy is a really good shot. I think if the copter and guns were camouflage too, they would have gotten a few more.
