Looks like a lot of fun, and they're performing a valuable service. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiHmYsyVniE
This feral hog eradication program is funded by a group of farmers who are taking progressive action to reduce the devastation done to their crops by these animals. Each and every feral hog is estimated to cause $1400 in crop damage during its lifetime. As you can see this data in combination with the extraordinarily high and ever expanding hog population proves to be a very big problem. Through the support of the farmers of Haskell Co. and the efforts of Nueces Helicopters, LLC. the hog population is on its way to a more controllable state as well as a much higher crop yield for the farmers. For more information see www.nueceshelicopters.com

Shooting at anything from a helicopter makes it more fun.

we need some hog reduction around here

Methinks they could reconsider the weapon of choice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EpHi0kKqsU)

I was wondering if the local NG units need some aerial gunnery practice...
-
Sounds like the yote elimination program we have here, except we use a plane with a machine gun. =D

I assumed that's what they were using....
(checks first post)
Looks like a blast with a shoulder fired weapon as well.
-
Considering they're doing it for profit, the cost of a mini-gun, ammo, and maintenance would probably be prohibitive.

Nice stand-off at about 4:26. He's big enough to think he can take on anybody, but goes down like all the others.
I'm presuming that the culled hogs got the Josey Wales treatment: Buzzards gotta eat, too.
stay safe.

That minigun looks like it has absolutely no recoil. Sweet!

Did they invite Sarah Palin?
Speakin' of hot babes, there are none in the Dillon video. What gives? ???

If I bring a rifle and lots of ammo and give them money will they let me go with them?
Where do I sign up?

I'd imagine they would, actually. And give the farmer a discount cause you're less experienced.

That looks like a fine way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I wonder if they'd let me use my M1 Carbine? I've got some 30 round mags for it. 110 grains at 1800 fps should work okay, wouldn't you think?
I'd use my Garand, but that might be a little much from the cockpit.
-
This reminds me of all the farmers back in Ohio that would pay me to remove problem animals. Remove them from life, not their land, mind you. =D
Nothing like hitting a rock chuck with a .500 S&W Magnum out of a rifle...
In any case, shooting wild hogs from a helicopter sounds wildly fun - seems like a job for a good semi-auto .460 Rowland rifle.

Sounds about right.
Where is this taking place? Looks to be sort of midwestern.
Looks like Texas.
Man, all the fun stuff happens in Texas. =\

Nueces, TX, a suburb of Corpus Christie.
Looks like a great weekend to me.
-
What... what happened at 5:40? Almost like the hog pulled something like what I do in AirSoft--"Oh, I'm hit? Ah, dang." *thump*
-
Looks like a whole lot of fun. I might be inclined to use a 12ga with a low recoil 00 Buck though. But, 223 is a whole lot lighter round for round.
