Hog Hunting by Helicopter -- unreal!

[sirhrmechanic]

This is pretty amazing stuff. Texas hog exterminator.

Uses rifle hooked to video aiming system. Not sure if the mount moves or if he is just using his controls to aim. Consider a moving helicopter... against running hogs... and his hit percentage. His shooting is amazing.

He'es shooting Alvin York style. Shoot from the rear of the pack so as not to spook the leader.

Ribs anyone?

Cheers,

Sirhr

I have seen this many times and while I have never got to shoot hogs I have been able to shoot deer like this. It is so much fun.

Did that once in Viet Nam, but we had 5 Hueys and 10 M-60 machine guns. Became known as "The Tanh Linh Pig Shoot".

Picked up about 9 or 10 pigs.

One of the better days over there.
