Hard to tell when they are making a T.V show ...I am sure they did not show us everything that went on but he did miss a couple times ...That still would be a tough thing to do !

You can get an hour in the air, gun, ammo, and a video of it for around $2500 in most places. Considering the equipment used and the chance to do it is worth it to some and not to others. Really it is just commercialized eradication. I've go no problem with it and if I had tons of cash to burn it would be a lot of fun.

I'm sure they'd much rather have dead hogs in their crops than live ones destroying their crops...

It's target practice
It's eradication of feral hogs doing millions of dollars damage to crops.
It makes your cereal cheaper
It's not supposed to be sport :tup:

Post by: norsepeak on May 11, 2013, 09:37:29 PM: Looks like a ton of fun to me...in fact my cousin and I are planning on some aerial wolf gunning in Wyoming next winter, should be fun. We've got a sweet Super Cub, and lots of ammo and it's legal to shoot wolves out of the plane in Wy...
