Video thermal hog hunt. 22 pigs down

[theblakester]

I got invited out to Centerville, Tx to help eradicate some hogs. Great guys who have access to lots of property in the area. We recovered 22 hogs that night, including a 275 lb rhino of a boar. Good times. Unfortunately I didnt get video of a lot of the shooting, but here's a couple volleys that I did manage to get video of.
12.5" 6.8SPCII from Blackstone Arms. Sig SRD762TI-QD suppressor from Silencer Shop. Trijicon Reap-IR thermal weapon sight from Cliff at ThirdCoastThermal. Recorded with a mini DVR from ultimate night vision.

That's a lot of dead pigs. What do you do with all the meat?

I keep my freezer full. Sometimes the land owner will take some meat. Most of them just get left for buzzards and coyotes though. Health code regulations prevent them from bein donated to homeless shelters etc. plus the additional amount of time effort and energy required to skin, quarter, ice and transport every hog killed, would result in less hogs being killed each night. In theory it sounds like a great idea to donate the meat,but realistically it's not practical when dealing with an invasive species of that size and so many of them. They're very destructive and cost land owners tons of money. Think of them like termites for someone who lives off the land.
