Got Hogs? We Do! Thermal Hog Hunting

We hunt wild hogs for one purpose and that's to eliminate everyone we can. If you enjoy, then please help us out and SUBSCRIBE to our channel.
We combat the growing feral hog population. These hogs are tearing up farm and ranch land everywhere and we are tasked with helping the farmers and ranchers reclaim their land. The hogs make it virtually impossible for some of these people to grow crops such as corn, wheat and oats in certain areas. Farming and ranching are what these people depend on to feed their families.
This is not your typical hunting. This is eradicating a problem animal from problem areas.
Feral swine are not considered game animals in Texas and may be hunted by any means or methods, during any time of year.
We had the pleasure of hunting with ‪@infectedoutdoors‬ on this hunt. If you haven't seen their videos, then you should go check them out. They are an awesome group and put out some of the best hunting videos you'll find.

I've never seen anyone handle a rifle with such finesse and expertise. Each shot is executed flawlessly, showcasing years of dedicated practice.

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

So much good: cam work, direction, drone, thermal & ir... 😊 The whole carnita!!

[@HickoryFlatBoars]

Thanks for the comment and for the view.

Excellent shooting the running shots, great leading.

Me and a buddy were out fishing one day and there is always a story to tell.
I saw my buddy grab my bag of potato chips and start munching away and then I saw him pick his nose real quickly...and then stick his hand back into the chips.
I turned to him and said, "I saw you pick your nose and stick your hand back into my bag of chips".
He said, "I wouldn't pick my nose after scratching my butt".

[@martyn6792]

Like the combination of camera, drone and thermal sight footage, some superb shooting too. You can see how hot the rifles get

Could you guys do a q&a like wat you do for a living and how oftern do you go hunting and how many do you think you've killed so far since u been helping farmers. Are you paid for doing this do farmers hire you guys. How much do you spene in ammo? Do you just burn all the pigs up. Where do you dispose of them. And when you do how fast are they eaten up by the coyotes? Great video as always

[@HickoryFlatBoars]

We may try that sometime. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sfloridarathunters6364]

Seriously, where does a truck full of hogs go? That seems like it would be a problem. I had a second question - are you guys wearing ear pro? If so, are they electronic blocking/amplify versions? I have just wondered how you can hear a countdown if you are using regular ear plugs, or after awhile, how you can hear at all :-). Keep up the great work! It looks like a lot of fun, and you guys do well with the cinematography and editing.

[@HickoryFlatBoars]

Sometimes we give them away to people but they are often left for the wildlife. We are all suppressed so the the noise isn’t bad.

[@drew65sep]

I can tell you where they DON'T go anymore...out in farmer's and rancher's fields or pastures destroying anything. At least, such holds true for those "in the bed of the truck." I don't know what the exact protocol is for donating mass amounts of meat like that. But, I'm sure it revolves around whatever the local, state, and federal government rules and regulations are. But, the part of the story that most fail to realize though is that these things cause hundreds of millions of dollars in economic and environmental damages annually. And, those damages continues to rise daily. The feral hogs are no longer "game" animals and have been designated as "invasive." So, the gloves have been taken off, so to speak. They've ceased to be animals that are subject to Natural Resource and Hunting Laws. If the problem had included my home state of West Virginia (it'll happen at some point), the designation would move the responsibility of dealing with them from our Department of Natural Resources and Game Law Enforcement, over to the Forestry and Farm Bureau Departments. That is, if my memory is correct. It'll be the epitome of how the government's "pass the buck" system works. It's much more of a biological issue now. The things are arguably, one of the most resilient animal species on earth. Just like coyotes and cockroaches, they'll adapt...and, take over any area that has food resources. Urban or rural. It won't matter. They're like friggin goats.They'll eat anything...dirt and/or rocks if need be. Damages are being done daily, and they still continue to do so...daily. The things are nothing short of an economic and environmental disaster. Lawmakers are just too chicken-sht to call it what it is. Plus, there's simply just not enough individual participation in eradication efforts to slow the hog's reproductive rates down, much less put a stop to the increases. The cost of those damages will eventually trickle down to the consumer (a lot of it has already). No company, or government entity out there is gonna foot the bill for any of it when they can pass those costs on down to the public. I'll save the rest of the story to those curious enough to want to research it. Apologies for the ratchet-jawing...

imagine how many people you could feed from the harvest of all these hogs

A lot but none of them ever show up that say they want them so we stopped trying.

[@laserbeam002]

@@davecalvo6418 You should realize that many wild hogs carry disease and they have to be cooked properly to kill the germs. Also, wild hogs can have a very gamey taste. Also, needs to be prepared properly to get rid of that taste. Some people like it but most would not.

What thermal scope are you using?

[@HickoryFlatBoars]

We are mainly using the Pulsar Thermion XP50 Pro and The TS50-640 Adder in this video.
We sell them at HickoryFlatBoars.com
For the Thermion you can message us at [e-mail] and we can get one ordered if interested.

We feed the wildlife with it.

[@igdes1]

@@ev1558 They carry diseases. I think I remember something about they need to over cook the pork or something like that for it to be almost ok to eat.

[@laserbeam002]

@@ev1558 For one reason....Many wild hogs/boors and sows carry disease and to make it safe to eat it must be cooked properly...Also, the meat usually have a very gamey taste if it isn't prepared properly. These hogs are not like the ones farm raised and fed a special diet to get rid of the gamey taste. They are wild. Another point....the farm raised pigs have had most of the gamey taste bred out of them by generations of diet.
