^ I've questioned this kind of hunting as well, but people say that they only do it when the wild pig population gets out of hand and they start damaging people's crops.

 

Your right tractorcrusher..I know Texas has real issues with feral pig over population and the damage they do.

 

This is used in area where the hogs are causing major damage to crops. I know a ton of Farmers in FL that used to open their farms to hunters to help with the hog pops. but half of the A$$holes that were given permission did more damage than the hogs they would shoot signs and farm equip including $100k+ tractors and combine so now the farmers wont let anyone shoot on their land and they pay crazy fees to have a company like this come in for "pest control"

right, wrong or indifferent the guy in the chopter is an AMAZING shooter to be wielding a .308 suppressed AR at those speeds and making hits like that I wish I was half the shooter he is

 

The amount of damage these feral pigs can do in one night is unreal. These pigs are beyond a nuisance now and considered a pest; the problem with feral pigs it that they are VERY SMART. You have one chance to take them out otherwise they become ghosts and impossible to hunt down.

There is actually a preferred method on capturing and destroying the sounder. You really don't want to go indiscriminately killing the pigs; rather you are methodical on taking out the boars and sows. Regardless, the heli shooting seems like it would be fun to do once, but otherwise, the rotor wash of the blades, noise and hot brass in a closed confined area would start to wear after time.

 

Aint' that the truth!

 

I love guns and shooting, but I am with rocketman and Jarod on this type of killing.

Complete disrespect for life!

 

Would it be different if it were Prairie Dogs?

 

Here's a news cast on how much damage these hogs can cause:

nice to see you buddy!

 

Nope.

I loathe the stupid sniper prairie dog kill videos as much as that boar one. Especially set to hard rock music.

I did not enjoy watching 12 seconds of it.

This being said, the dude can shoot and it is a damage issue ...
