That's why they're pretty much free range. I knew a few good ol boys that made a business out of clearing hogs out of farmers' land in fla panhandle, GA, AL
That's what well trained dogs are for

Helicopter hunting here in Texas. Been talking to a couple guys about going. Needs to be 6 or more to get good rates
Edit forgot to tag @gimmie11s
The young ones taste the beat. The older huge ones can taste like shit. We only hunt and eat them when it’s cold cause the spoil so quickly
Thanks, great video. I gotta save some dough and do that. What a hoot.
IDK but it seems like candyass shit to chase them down with gps dogs then mame them with pitbulls then stab them with a KABAR. I'm all for taking them out to protect your land but that's just a bit sadistic. My neighbor shoots them with an AR-10 out of a helicopter. Goes every year, loves it. What OP is describing is just terrorizing and torturing animals. And thta's just ****ed up.
I'm all for shooting hogs on your land to protect your property and animals, but that's a bit much for me.
We don't have hogs out here, but coyotes are bad around here. I hear farmers knocking them off daily in the wee hours of the early morning.

When I read the OP I immediately thought of the movie Surviving the Game with Ice Tea and Gary Busey. Good flick!
Got a cousin who hunts with dogs like that, but the dogs just bay the hogs. They use a gun on them. His dogs wear the vests in case the hog gets ahold of them. They do their best to kill them quickly and humanely.
22-250, 243, 30.06, 308? How far out?
Awesome, man. Many people out there do this honorably. Do it out of necessity instead of the “thrill of kill”. Protecting their dogs and as quick and clean of a kill as possible. Unfortunately some others do not.
22-250
She was maybe 150 yds out
LOL at the guys that are too delicate for pig baiting (pitbulls grabbing the animal is known as "baiting".) Pigs are 200 lb cockroaches, **** em.
Any other animal and I agree but if there is an animal that is tailor made for this it is the pig. I have passed on hunting mountain lion with dogs because it seems disrespectful to the animal.
BTW baiting is as old as the hills. It is why there are pitbulls, bulldogs, corsa canos, mastiff, rottweilers, etc. etc. American bulldogs were bred to bait runaway slaves which is crazy (I always wonder what to think when I see a black guy with an American bulldog).

I was up a tree one day bowhunting whitetail when up walks a moose. I didn't have a moose tag. I hung my bow out of reach so I wouldn't succumb to temptation.
The moose proceeded to graze for 45 minutes around 15 to 25 yards away just to screw me over. Ever watch a moose feed? They drop down onto their front knees and gobble alfalfa. Really cool. As it left it rubbed its back on the tree I was in!
I decided that was too much. Went and got a moose tag. Then my brother and I made a heavy spear. I was going to take it with the spear the old fashioned way.
On a whim I called Fish and Wildlife to make sure my plan was okay. Yup, you guessed it. Hunting moose with a spear is illegal. Can you believe it?
So I had to arrow it instead. Oh, well.

I used to hunt pigs all the time. For eating, you only want them under 100 pounds. If it's a male, and it's over 75 pounds, we just left it for the ants and buzzards, because the meat is terrible.
Pigs breed like mice, they're tough as Hell, and they're smart, and they are omnivores. They've got a sense of smell better than a dog, and equally good hearing. A fifty pound pig can kill a man. Over a hundred pounds, if it catches you with no weapons or backup, you're a goner. Though usually they'd rather avoid you. But a sow with piglets is pure Hell and will come after you. They can move through dense brush and thorns with absolute quiet.
I once saw a sow get shot in the head with a .22 Long Rifle. My buddy was a damn good shot, and it was all we had with us, and it was within fifty feet, so he figured one shot to the middle of the forehead ought to do the job. He got it. Dead-center in the forehead. It dropped to it's knees, then sprang up, screamed, and went running straight for the brush, piglets running after it. At first it looked like a freight train came off the tracks, brush shaking like mad. Then ... complete silence. TOTAL silence, not a bit of brush moving.
We figured it had fallen dead at that point. We go hacking into the brush to retrieve it and we never found it. We found a small blood trail, but we never did find that pig.
I never hunted pig with anything less than a 180-grain .308. Great times.
I'd never try it like the OP does, my hat's off to you on that. I always wanted distance and firepower.
Don’t think he was being delicate. Instead, he noted that hunting them like that, is more just a solution to their over population instead of being hardcore. You might be stabbing them with a knife, but the dogs are doing ALL the dirty work.
Nothing wrong with that, but far from badass.
Hilarious. You have no idea what you are talking about. Trust me, killing a pig with dogs and a knife is bad AF. They can shake the dogs, they are squirming around in the brush. You will get seriously ****ed up if the pits miss the pig and he comes at you. Ask anyone that has experience with, this is the exact opposite of being a pussy.
