We dispatch several every week at our property in Southern Oklahoma. They knock over and destroy the standard motorized deer feeders as a minimum. Got a larger steel one and anchored it. Built a hog cage out of 1/2" rebar, since the regular hog wire was insufficient. Bastards tear up everything but are very smart, especially the boars.

Must be cool having a mini gun. 👍🏼😁

What’s the real cost of one hog session with that thing? It’s got to be in the thousands.

Cool stuff.👍

Probably will require a Class 3 license even in Texas. Dude probably has a gun and ammo store. Looks like about 2k in ammo used for those oinkers.

Also needs to fab a better ammo catch bin on the truck when ya want to rock and roll. Look like about 30% missing the bucket.

The cost of hog damage can justify all the toys.

Pretty common for hunters around here to run very pricey mil-spec night vision and thermal devices.

I for the life of me don’t understand why they don’t trap them and harvest them for food?

You ever see pork dog food? Me neither.

You ever eat a wild hog? Tastes like shit.

There is a Facebook page big ass traps or something similar. They trap a lot of hogs. Then just put a bullet in there head once trapped. Feed them to the buzzards.

I couldn't imagine cleaning up all of those on my property every morning. I'd bet atleast half of those hogs aren't even dead in the morning.

I watched a guy shoot one at the Big Sandy shoot. Something like 3,000 rounds a minute. Not sure what the rounds cost, I’d bet $2+. So $6,000 a second? 😳

I'm looking forward to the 2nd day of filming. My trigger finger is sore just watching.

My buddy who is a hog hunting/trapping fool in Texas says the meat is skanky any time they are deaded while their adrenaline is pumping. If you put them down with a headshot you might be good to eat them. That’s what he tells me anyways?

He trapped a few one time and tried to fatten them for butchering. They don’t gain anywhere near the weight like a domestic hog and you’ll go broke feeding them. You will also have a hell of a time keeping them in a pen!

It’s amazing the amount of damage one boar can do to a peanut field in one night!😮

They trap, shoot, its a free for all on killing them (daytime nighttime) no restrictions and they still cant control the population.

and they do processes the meat

They tore the shit out of Catalina Island for years till they were eradicated.
Anyone go to Camp Fox? Some of us crazier kids would go spotlight those wild boar fuckers up at the dump site, at 3am. Get charged and sprint for your life.

From your link

Brucellosis does not affect the meat, however, as with all pork, it should always be thoroughly cooked.

It's not trichinosis, no, but brucellosis makes handling the pigs risky.
