OK, technically and legally speaking this isn’t hunting — its “herd depredation.” Hogs are a terrible nuisance in the Gulf coast area, and helicopter crews are the most effective way to eliminate the problem. One such company is HeliBacon, founded immediately after the practice was legalized a few years ago by a group of firearms enthusiasts who thought it would be an awesome thing to do and wanted to offer the best experience.
It’s expensive ($850/hour), but they offer some of the most hog-infested fields and best toys out there to their clients. Unlimited ammo is included in the price of admission, and upgrades are available — such as machine guns (custom lowers with PWS piston-driven uppers). Coming soon: grenade launchers. Yes, grenade launchers. Because not only do they have a helicopter, but they’re an SOT and have an explosives license as well — one of the owners is former British military and the other runs an unexploded ordnance removal company. Told ya they wanted “awesome.”
neat
He’s obviously never heard the remarks of former U.S. Attorney General Janet “Waco” Reno”, or current U.S. Attorney General Eric “Fast & Furious” B. “We Must Brainwash The People” Holder, or Jim & Sarah Brady, or Dianne Feinstein, or Cuomo, or Hickenlooper, or Rahm Emmanuel, or the New Jersey Legislature, or…
You get the picture.
God that looks fun… and noble.
Kill them all. Those things are terrible.
David “The Rabbi” Kenik, a .357 Magnum devotee, should write a follow-up post on this subject.
Where do I sign up?? 🙂
Dirk Diggler and Shannon Watts date night activity?
Those last two at 4:45. Pop.
Looks like fun.
140dB is not freaking quiet. It’s barely hearing safe, and it’s probably uncomfortable to most people. Start getting that through peoples’ skulls, and we might, MIGHT get somewhere.
So why aren’t they using Surefire 60 or 100-round mags on those MGs? Get with it, guys!
Because those mags suck, that’s why.
Imagine, getting on a helicopter ….. at an airport ….. with machine guns ……. and flying over inhabited urban areas.
Screw TSA. What country was this filmed in?
Semi auto fire from a helicopter??? Why not just use napalm?
That’s a question? Look at their behavior. They hide behind mindless appeals to emotion. Silence all opposition, and then pretend to be the victims. Cowards is a polite term for what they are.
Yeah, I’m going with “low-life hypocritical statist scum” as a more precise description.
Funny how all the anti-gun politicians – including the President – have armed bodyguards.
Jeff Snyder; gun rights advocate wrote an excellent book about just this question; “A nation of cowards” .
It was a compilation of editorials he had written for different publications over the years. One of his proposals is that when an individual chooses to allow others to risk their lives in defense of himself and others; and that individual in return would surrender or run away rather than face the risk of injury or death; by definition, that is cowardice.
This is why the POTG are attacked so hatefully and so vehemently by the anti-self defense crowd; it’s to make themselves feel better for sub-consciously what they know to be true.- they are cowards.
This thinking I believe is closest to the mark. The modern-day metrosexual male does not want the POTG types running around taking control of their own safety because they know it makes them look cowardly. So the gun grabbing male wants to outlaw the right (and duty) of self defense so he can say that he has no choice in the matter.
In reality I’d bet you that a good majority of the wives of these gun-grabbing males would secretly acknowledge that they married a cowardly wimp that would rather hide in a closet then to protect her and the kids.
BTW, no offense to the female POTG. That’s a whole other aspect that just freaks out the mind of the metrosexual male and the left as a whole.
I learned this in third grade. You punch a bully in the nose. They are bullies and cowards. They are so frightened of YOU with the ability/will to fight back, they will do everything in their power to remove it from you. A bully doesn’t want a conversation, doesn’t want a fair fight, they want a punching bag, so they can prove to themselves that they are superior to you. If you fight back, you might lose to the bully and their droogies, but they will never screw with you again. That’s why guns frighten them. It allows everyone the ability to fight back.
Yup! I learned that in Jr. High MANY, MANY years ago and it works.
Gun control advocates are not really that passionate about what they preach. I believe the true driving force behind their policy is that is a hot button issue to use against their political opponents. They really have no stake in the game because they are not gun owners nor is there life ever affected by gun violence. The other thing I think they worry about is an armed insurrection against them and their “good ideas.” They want to know they can hold on to power eternally.
BINGO
FUAC! Right up the sphincter.
They want their cake and eat it 2A too.They are in power for now. HAHAHA! Oh how the mighty will fall.
I realize that they are a non-native species, and that they are a nuisance to put it mildly, but I still have an issue with a “yee-haw” attitude to killing these animals. Especially from a helicopter platform, then adding in machine guns, what’s the likelihood that you AREN’T just going to wing numerous animals and have them suffer lengthy, drawn-out deaths? Just doesn’t seem terribly ethical to me, particularly when there are so many hunters that will forego filling their deer tags for the season rather than take an iffy shot. Don’t get me wrong, helicopter transport makes a lot of sense to get from A to B, but are there really not enough regular shooters down there to take care of this problem without shooting from a helicopter?
Wild pigs != deer. They are rats. Rats and mice are routinely poisoned, trapped, crushed, etc., none of which are particularly fast or human deaths, and nobody really cares. These are no different.
As far as the regular shooters question, it depends on the venue. In Georgia, where they’re rooting up peanut fields, “regular shooters” are the definitely the way to go. In Texas, when you’re dealing with huge, wild, noncultivated acreage and moderately heavy brush cover, very few people are going to want to make the trek that far out.
Cowards? Yes. Plus they idealize cowardice. They idealize victims. They demonize those who refuse to be victims. And they are just about totally in control of the information and entertainment industries, enabling this attitude to run rampant with little vocal dissent allowed.
Here’s an interesting law review article on silencers/supressors/mufflers. I am sure Dean has read it. Basically, seconds what Dean said. No one knows quite why silencers were included in the Firearms Act. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwcr.sonoma.edu%2Fv08n2%2F44.clark%2Fclark.pdf&ei=td7vUq2oLvPJsQTW34IQ&usg=AFQjCNHycooxoveDJ7T0kZsdp9hYsT59xA&bvm=bv.60444564,d.cWc
They say the same thing about us, though. We’re paranoid crazies because we want to carry our guns everywhere we go. We imagine strangers bursting into our homes and fear getting attacked in parking garages. They roll their eyes whenever we talk about the Knockout game and mumble about overwhelming odds. I always wonder if the gun-grabbers really feel that way or if it’s a form of whistling past the graveyard. Are they really comfortable in the idea that they’ll never be attacked? Or if they are, that the police will save them? I don’t understand the psychology of that. Bad things happen to good people all the time and the anti-gun folks know it. So how do they manage to cling to their personal philosophies on the matter?
I live just outside of Chicago and a few months ago the state rep held an informational Q&A session about concealed carry. The state rep is about as Chicago Machine as you can get and his views on gun control reflect that. About 80% of the population that showed up was black. I think the most telling thing that happened during the Q&A was that it was mentioned that gang members were currently carrying illegally and that there are quite a few otherwise law abiding citizens that carry as well. A show of hands was made for anyone who had ever carried, for self protection, either legally or illegally. About half the hands in the room went up including all of the state rep’s staff. The point being, was that what this law created a route for that behavior to be legal and not subject to UUW.
A fairly comforting thing to find out that lots of people refuse to comply, even in the heart of the beast for gun control.
“The deeper truth: gun control advocates don’t believe in fighting back with lethal force, personally. That’s law enforcement’s job. Or, in the case of the elite, bodyguards. What’s up with that?”
They are the same people that would end hunting because “it’s cruel.” Yet they enjoy their steak, chicken, ham, etc. As long as someone ELSE is doing it… out of sight….. that’s “different.”
“How do we get them to (pardon the sexism) man-up?”
We should promote the theme of gun ownership/carry as part of our civic duty and continually ask them why they’re shirking their duty as a citizen.
I’ll take the standard Colt AR-15 with the 20 rd. mag, on semi-auto, and put down range, 20 accurate rounds faster than you can with this “MICKY MOUSE” contraption ! SORRY, BUT I WOULDN’T HAVE ONE IF THEY GAVE IT TO ME !

You can only be labeled anti gun if you support a position that is anti gun. Thus there is a simple course of action to follow: dont be for anything that can be construed and interfering with or making gun ownership more difficult.
“Gun control advocates like Watts hate free speech.”
Not quite. I think it’s more like:
“Gun control advocates like Watts hate unpaid speech.”
It cuts into their revenue stream, doncha know.
New Yorkers won’t make a phone call to stop a murder in progress, so I’m not too concerned about this tip line.
” and thats how you handle the Mother-in-law!”
More “assault rifles” for cops is not a wise idea. Sooner or later, they will use them to shoot up innocent people and their pets during SWAT-style raids based on overdue library books or some other pretext.
Why doesn’t the town just sell the guns and use the money to hire someone useful, like an EMT?
I think you should take another look at the picture you posted with this article. Specifically, the break in the top rail above the gas block. It appears to me to have the same gas adjustment mechanism as the 516. Since the picture showing the specifications of the m400 does not list adjustable gas I think it safe to say the rifle pictured is a 516.
Gun Laws in here in America are written by idiots who know nothing about the technology they try to legislate over. Look at the numerous statements politicians have made to prove it, The senator in California’s now infamous press conference about “ghost guns” that fire “30 round 30 caliber clips in a half a second”. The senator who said “I know what a barrel shroud is, it’s that shoulder thing that goes down.” The Colorado state senator who said (its good we banned 30 round mags because), “these magazines are bullets and once they are all used up no one will have them anymore.” The list goes on…
We (people of this nation) have elected complete morons to run the nut house. Is it any wonder that chairs are illegal, the sky is green, and grass is purple?
I use a leather holster for appendix carry sometimes. Cross draw. In the summer. Might be more comfortable than Kydex, but I’ve never found it comfortable.
Do those people afraid of appendix carry actually think a gun can go off by itself?
A lot of people have shot themselves reholstering striker fired type weapons in training with this. They are rushing to holster to get more training time and getting careless. So there is a lot of hate for this. Even though it is a really fast draw and easy to conceal.
Extra piece of mind while exercising quick and blind re-holstering drills. Don’t know what all the hate is about. There is an extra training curve involved, and if you don’t like it, don’t use it. Pretty simple really.
Kill ’em all and let Bob Evans sort ’em out.
There are not cowards, I’ve meet several anti gun folks that shivered at the thought of owning a gun, but admitted to keeping a bat, golf club or whatever behind the door.
Most anti gun zealots are just misguided and are letting their emotions overcome their logic, they figure if they don’t need it or want it, neither should you.
I should learn to avoid TTAG when I’m eating. I nearly puked all over my phone reading the original article.
What a steaming pile of sh!t.
The problem is that they define “freedom” as enslavement of everyone else for their own security.
Same word, but very different definitions. One is Locke-ian ,the other Rousseau.
Good thing there are not many Glocks out there in circulation and that most Glocks all look different. This gun should be easy to spot.
No.

I had to unfriend almost every non-immediate family member. I’m the oldest of 16 cousins and my aunts confronted me about being worried that I would send the wrong message to the younger cousins with pictures from the shooting range on Facebook.

This moms wanting action group is full of cowards. Anybody who comments against their view on Facebook, they delete and block, they disabled any comments on their YouTube vids, and on twitter they tell each other to block people with differing views. Someone needs to make an opposing moms Facebook page that won’t block or delete anyone. They love the first amendment and think it’s only for them. All that time in the kitchen and they can’t handle any heat.
To the guy with the 5% margin comment……guys in Texas are buying Robinsons to keep up with the demand for the hunts….Im sure you can pay one off PDQ if your doing the flying. Most guys charge more than you are positing …$1200 per gunner slot one hour at a time on the 4 seater. $2400/hr gross 2-3 groups per day. Trailer the Robinson to the place to reduce flight times.
It is a lucrative business if you can find the guys with the wallets.
I truly appreciate this article.Much thanks again.
