I love it Randy! Best method I've seen for hogs yet! I would love to get my hands on some of that stuff.

If it were a quick kill for every pig maybe ok. I doubt every pig got killed. I noticed one pig limping before the explosion. Maybe he was injured from the last time and didn't get killed. Stan
Must be poor shots.
If you can get that close why not just shoot them??? I hate the fact that many of you find this to be OK. How many where just wounded and then died later????
I am not against hunting. I am against just killing for the fun of it without any regard for the animal your killing. IF your going to kill something do it cleanly and quick. That takes SKILL. Blowing some wild hogs up with an explosive does not take much skill.
I am not fond of bow hunting for this vary reason. Rarely does a bow hunter have a clean kill. They wound the animal and then track it around until it dies a painful death.

What a waste that Pork could have fed the prisoners in GITMO for a month.

And I can think of about 10 good reasons not to put it on a 'net video.Groups like PETA love to get a hold of this type stuff for their use.
JMOR: I am not saying to not kill a nuisance animal but do it in a more responsible and humane manner.
Like some one else pointed out. PETA just loves to see stuff like this. You can see pieces of the hogs flying threw the air after the explosion. It is kind of a gory video. People that have very little experience with any type of hunting and or animal control will raise ten kinds of stink about this type of stuff.
How would you like PETA to lobby for the wild hogs to become a natural speces that you can't kill???? Stranger things have happened.
Videos like this one HELP that type of thing happen.

This is war, son.
Feral hogs are not just a nuisance animal, they are a threat to every living thing. If you just let the "kewt widdle piggies" run wild they will multiply and decimate every square inch of woodland, cropland, swampland... Then in search of food they will start encroaching on towns and cities, eventually eating dogs and cats, then kids.
Shooting them one at a time achieves nothing. You shoot one, and the rest run away, and half of them give birth to a dozen more each.

I don't know if the guy is telling the truth or not but:
Septic guy came out to pump the tanks. Charges $350 for a 20 mile one way trip 750 gallons of septic and half an hours work for himself and son. Seems enough to cover expenses and leave a couple hundred for the days profit......lots of time to goof off with just one customer for the day....don't know how many he has per day.
Anyway, while waiting for the pumpout he asked me about Feral Hogs around my place. Little small talk and he said that he traps them and sells them to meat packers. He said when you go to the grocery store and buy that pork sausage guess where they get the pork.
He went on to say that one of his customers put him onto trapping. Said he had about 300 hogs he was running for a living and all the EPA rules and all just ran him out of business. So he said the guy just turned his hogs loose and let them breed with the wild ones and that was that.
Food for thought.
Guys around here hunt them and some trap them. Those guys pen them up, corn them out and eat them. Personally I'd wonder about disease course you are supposed to cook pork to 160F at least. But for me by the time you get a "Baby Back" rib to 160F internal temp, you are looking at a piece of charcoal.
Neighbor up the road has them come up his creek and shoots them but I haven't seen any. I do have a box of 00 for them when they decide to invade.
What I know about it.

You'll two or three at the most before they are at a dead run. Killing a hog takes careful shot placement - not something you can do with them at a dead run at 100+ yards with their back to you. That leaves 6 or 7 out running around destroying property.

Put the 00 away if you are shooting hogs - you'd have to be very lucky to get close enough to use it and all you'll do is irritate them from anything over 40 yards or so. They are much tougher than a deer or a human.

Well I have neighbors in the area. I have a rifle but don't want the responsibility of a stray bullet. I don't need to kill them if I can scare them away.
Options?

Took me a minute, but that's funny.
Raises a question though. Them guys don't eat pork and supposedly never have, so must not know what it tastes like. So what happens if you feed them, say a heaping pulled pork sandwhich, and after they finish eating it, you show them the video of the exploding hogs, then point to the buns and pot of pulled pork, then their bellies. What happens then? They don't get their 72...?

I'll take my chances with the meat from a wild hog over one out of a confinement operation.Years ago hog owners used to turn their hogs loose in the mountains to eat Acorns to fatten them up and they were great eating.Even today some imported Spanish raised hog meat that was Acorn fed bring BIG$$$.

When I was a teen a friend and I went catfishing one weekend. We got to the heavily wooded, remote lake site, put our supplies and camping gear on the ground, got in the boat and went out to put out our lines.
On the way back we saw a lot of movement at the campsite. In short a brood of piglets had invaded the camp. We grabbed whatever we could and threw it at them. I missed but he contacted with either a machette or a the ax, one of us had one the other the other.
We ate domesticated, turned out in the wild pork for supper. Never saw the sow and was a good thing.
