Hummmm........that guy must reload his own ammo.  If I was him, believe I would back off the powder charge a bit......bet it's over max....

[DOGALUM]

I'm all in.  Spectacular!!

wild hogs are inhumane

It was a big much though, especially when seeing those two hogs go 100 feet up in the air

[root_hawg]

What's the sport in that

[DOGALUM]

What's the sport in that

thrill of the kill.   

But I doubt it's for "sport".  Hogs are probably ruining his land.  There is no "sport" in building/mending fences either, but it is a must do to properly maintain.   If he would have just shot one, the others run off.

Whatever he needs to do if they are tearing up property

[DOGALUM]

thats what they do.

That said, I would gladly treat hogs to that same thing on someone else's property too.  Looks darned fun.

I'm just a if you kill it, eat it kind of person. I feel like the meat was, shall we say, ruined by the pressure wave of an explosion. The guy can do whatever he wants, but I don't think this kind of thing should be glorified. It's extermination, not hunting.

It is extermination.  If you had land that these hogs were tearing up you would feel like exterminating them too.  On a side note I too am a kill and eat it kind of person, but I would make an exception in this case.  However the meat might be cooked for you by time you get to the pigs with an explosion like that haha.

Perhaps I should have posted this in DST.  Probably would have gotten more of the "holy sh1t that's funny" reaction I was looking for.

I like how you know how I would feel, maybe I want a pig sanctuary if it's my land.

I though it was, I am with you on the funniness of it.

I think they should up the charge though, see how an actual pig can fly. I think it is obvious that they are doing this to get rid of multiple hogs at one time, rather than shooting one and watching the others run off. Killing one at a time will never control the population, but 5-10 at a time will do some damage

Traditional ways to cook BBQ pork:   Hickory smoked BBQ, Mesquite smoked BBQ.....

Now its......"Dynamite smoked BBQ pork."  Faster, sort of like microwave.  Couple of problems.... it tends to overcook,..... the "cooking"... scatters the meat around.....& the neighbors can "hear" you fire up the grill.

I don't care, there's cleaner ways to do it than this. This kind of thing gives the animal rights wackos more ammunition.

cleaner schmeaner.   

Any ideas for a more effective way?   

As for the animal rights folks.....to hell with em

and it's easy to say "I don't care" when it's not your $100grand.   Get real man.

I get it, it's 9th grade cool to blow hogs up with explosives. Since I have graduated 9th grade, I have become a bit more thoughtful and mature about things. Unfortunately I understand that some people aren't. That's why some activities are illegal to do.

I love the to hell with em attitude; it isn't in anyway based in reality. This kind of stuff starts getting popular and exploding targets, that are a (pardon the pun) blast to shoot, will suddenly be done away with because somebody in Texas posted videos on youtube or somewhere of pig parts flying through the air. It's scary that it can happen that way but it does.

I didn't say more effective, I said cleaner; here are some ways to do it that are less polarizing than blowing hogs up:

As to your second comment:

It is easy to say that, it's also easy to say that hog damage is a risk assessment that farmers have to make. Hogs damage crops, bear damage crops, hail damages crops, freezing rain damages crops, insects damage crops...etc. All of that is part of the risk you take. All businesses have a certain amount of risk involved, we can't "win" all the time. If the guy did his due diligence he would have taken precautions to prevent it from happening, or compensate him for the loss.

Thanks for the debate, I'm certain we'll never see eye to eye on this and that's okay. It's all a matter of opinion and nobody's right if everybody's wrong.

I'm all for killing pigs, but this isn't the way to do it.  I bet they liked to tape firecrackers to frogs when they were younger.  One of the hogs appears to be limping.  I'm sure injured in some other form of "sport" it was unlucky enough to survive.  Oddly enough, I do enjoy watching a prairie dog explode.  It is a bit more sporting though.

I don't know, man, that looked like he took one helluva precaution to prevent it from happening to me.
