The thermal stuff is kinda cool though.
Do I wish we had Hogs here? Yup!

i wish we had them but they are so distructive in farm lands like ours but would be cool. cool video you can see the little one splatter
I used to hunt them regularly while stationed in California and they were a BLAST! I agree, they are pretty damned destructive and sure would cause a lot of problems....but I wish we had that opportunity here in WA.

And they usually have the middle name of Lynn. They are blond, with dark roots. Have a strings of three or four piglets, sired by three of four boars.
They are easily baited............just show up in Aberdeen, flash a case of Bud Light, some Marb Lights, and tell her to git in the truck. If on a budget, Keystone Ice will be sufficient.
Mention that you have health insurance..............and it is ON. You will end up at some blue gate near Wishkah, with a couple to a few hundred pounds of porker, hot after it.
Good luck to all that want to hunt the legendary animal of the Peninsula. Night Vision not recommended.

I don't particularly like the shooter in this case. Many suffering animals that should have had a quick follow up shot to put them out of their misery. He can lead a moving target kinda OK, but can't hold the rifle still to save his arse. And has terrible trigger control. Anyone can herd/flock shoot.
The thermal stuff is kinda cool though.

I don't think they really care. It's more about just controlling numbers in this situation I think. Knock as many down as possible and finish of the wounded ones as soon as the shootings over. All I can say is "Where do I sign up!?!?" The only thing better would be if this was Taliban.

Yeah. I like wild pig. I've never been a big fan of venison.
Tomy salami, you get the golden ticket. :chuckle:

What size of pea shooters do you reckon they had? Sounded like semi-auto to me.

looks like fun shooting though :IBCOOL:

Not really. They cause too much damage. On the other hand, if there were an infestation of pigs here like there is in The South we'd be hounded by people all year long to come over to this place or that to kill off the pigs.
Got me thinking about heading down to Texas again.

Yeah that is the problem with wild pigs, just to much damage. That is also what is best about them for hunters. Year round hunting opportunity, more private access, more prey for predators, and I think it would strengthen the hunter relationship with non-hunters. I know those are selfish reasons for wanting wild pigs around. :dunno:

The video Kain posted reminded me of some hog experiences i had in Australia.
I was hunting water buffalo in Australia miles from any roads camping in the outback with some aussie buddies who knew the aboriginal leader and got us all permission to hunt.
We came upon 22 hogs all dead in a group, since there are no predators the Aussie gov uses helicopters and snipers with machine guns to control animal numbers that get out of hand. Wow, I was thinking that's just the job i want. :chuckle:
After we killed our 4 water buffalo, we went to a ranch (over 100,000 acres) to do some hog shooting. The owner told me that the government flew his place and estimated he has about 10,000 hogs. He said he tries to kill at least 4,000 per year just to try and keep the hog population from growing. From what I could see it wasn't working... :chuckle:
Any way we shot about 20 hogs in a couple hours, it was a blast, I will attach a photo of one of the boars I shot. He offers a "Hundred Hog Shoot", I may have to go back and do that one.... :chuckle:
