  1. Seconded on both counts. How big do you expect these animals to be?

     

    I should mention here that I met a dude years back who successfully hunted a bush pig using a 1911. But that was an animal in the small deer range. And even then, there's a reason he was notable for doing so.

    They range from piglets to hogzilla, but 100 kg is usually considered a large hog.

    That is about what you see when you go hog hunting here. If you hope to bag more than 2 or so, having a machine gun is terrific.

  2. Fuck "ethics" and "sporting" when it comes to culling an invasive species. Kill them in the most efficient way possible as fast as possible. My personal favorite method has become setting a large trap. You can get 5-6 in there and then dispath them with a head shot. 308 vaporizes a hog head at 10 yards.

    And yes you can eat them, however when you kill 25 or 30 you are only realistically going to bring back a few. Generally grab a sow that weighs under 100 pounds if you want good eating:

  3. Pigs are an invasive species and yes they must be controlled. But I have ethical issues as a hunter with a bunch of rich fuckers - LOL - using a machine gun and helicopters to hunt animals. 

    It sounds silly and excessive to most folks until you realize that hogs literally destroy people's livelihood here in Texas:

    Even passing that helicopter hunting bill didn't help much.

  4. The way I see it is that I am not a warrior who uses firearms to make a living. I am not a police officer who is responsible for protecting the public. And lastly, I am not a guru with a right to tell other people how to live by the gun.

     

    I am simply a humble overprivileged douchebag with a penchant for torque and recoil.
