- 130 Hogs Down in 8 Minutes
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 at any time of year.

the shooter on red crosshair amazing timing ive seen a lot of night vision hunting and i must say that you are of the the best shooter in the field,,,
yeah he's absolutely lethal when it comes to leading them and making them run into it! Quick reflexes as well. The other shooters were good as well though, MUCH better than I can do! Another good thing I noticed about the black/white 3-tine reticule shooter - he/she knows to aim lower when the pigs are close (within 20 yards or so). I've seen a lot of videos of guys quickly bumping half a dozen rounds on a very close pig, and they all go over it.
Yeah he’s normally pretty dearly behind the rifle. Thanks for the view and comment.
I was raised on a farm where there were 13 sows with farrowing crates. They only went into the crates when they were ready to have a litter. Each sow had to raise 8 pigs to weaning or they went to the slaughter house. Each sow would have 5 litters in two years. When someone says not to kill the little ones it shows they do not understand the problems of allowing 5 little gilts getting away. In two years you have you would have at least 80 just of their litters and since a sow reaches sexual maturity at 4-6 months that means if half of that litter breeds once they have 160. Killing all of them out is almost impossible but trying is the best way. Thank goodness you are doing what you can, that and trapping them is the best methods we have.
Sounds like someone gets it! Thanks for the comment and view.
I can only hope the aroma of bacon doesn't add to climate change
baby turns into an adult and makes more babies, the way she goes. crazy that some people don't get it or that doing this is good for the ecosystem.
Great presentation of the concept of exponential breeding.
If a region were wiped clean, one breeding pair left unattended would lead to the wiped out population coming back in short order.
They don't quite breed like rabbits, but they're not far off.
If we compare the numbers with high density commercial pig farming, then we can easily understand how fast this goes off the rails.
Wow very interesting you know yoru shit
This just in from Washington D.C, "I don't have any idea why Americans feel the need to have high capacity mags, mmmmm pass me some more of those imported Texas ribs they're delicious"
😂
Hey, how many feral pigs do you think are in major metropolitan areas anyway. You hear automatic gun fire in the big cities, you run like hell cause somebody flip his lid. Thanks to the NRA by the way…. They get your 2nd amendment but somebody doesn’t get their “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” Thoughts and prayers, I guess.
Where in this video do you see proof for high capacity mags?
LMAO😂😂😂😂😂
Has nothing to do with ribs…
Just a few years ago I found out about the hog issue.I usually shoot black powder live occasionally. I'd love a video on weapon types and the caliber used in these videos.Id love to try this.
Thanks for the comment. We are looking at trying to do a video along these lines in the future.
I like how the pigs go nuts at the first gunshot, meanwhile the cows are like, "Meh".
Just love it when y’all cut loose!!! Total action!!! 😀👍👍
I watch a lot of these videos and that is the best marksmanship I've ever seen on any of them. Hardly any misses and almost all head shots from long range. Great Job!
I must have been watching a different video to you. Lots of multiple shots one one target. Lots of hits in the back legs and in many cases the shot was landing behind the pig. Seen much better shooting than that.
There a many, many misses and these are the ones specifically chosen for the video... so maybe you are over-stating. Imagine how many misses were left out.
Thanks girls.
Practice on the range builds confidence, Before hog Eradication, 130 down well done good job,
Thanks, Hickory Flat Boars.
How are the boars disposed of? Just curious.
Superb marksmanship! well 'executed' literally and humanely..great job boys!!
Thanks and thanks for the view.
Some of the shooters here are not great marksman. They're spraying and praying.
Astonishing marksmanship!
Much more action! This is what we want! Boars still seem to retain all three physical dimensions, but I actually prefer them better this way.
We will hopefully have more videos like this in the near future. That's if harvest is as good as it usually is.
@@HickoryFlatBoars Showcase one of them flat boars. Aint never seen me one of them.
@@harrymallory7963 they’re in almost every video 😂
@@HickoryFlatBoars Where? I don't see any flatness whatsoever! They seem to have a dimension no matter which direction they're seen from!
Less action, please! The current pace is overwhelming, and it detracts from the overall experience. A more balanced approach would be appreciated.
I'm in Alberta CANADA and have been hearing about them criters starting to come north
Will get myself geared up for them
No one gonna talk about the deer standing and saying bruh WTF is happen to that hog 0:56
😂😂
I saw it!
what caliber 300? 308 norma?
Those piggies drop. What caliber are you using?
Un bonjour from France,nices shorts guys!!!don t stop so amazing!
And thanks a lot!
What caliber and bullet type do y’all use?
What type of rifle and ammo are you using on the 130 Hogs?
What ammo are y’all using for the 7.62x 39 and .223?
124 grain sp for the x39 and 65 grain green tip for the 223 is what we mainly use.
Good work.
What caliber of weapon do you use?
0:57 Dear off to the side is like
"Hey what's going on over there, is that Bob?"
Yep! Lol
Thanks for the view and for commenting
Great shooting guy's and girlz. Great job of going back to make sure it didn't suffer.
Thanks for watching and for commenting
a good farmer weeds his garden
Truly superior marksmanship
Thanks for the comment.
Are you guys running all 223s or are there any 308s as well?
Mainly 7.62x39. Some 223. We don’t run 308s much anymore.
@HickoryFlatBoars why not?
This is something I have been interested in but how does someone get so much land to hunt on with all these pigs I’m 17 I love to hunt I have a new night vision scope but I unfortunately can’t use it because I have no where to go with pigs I live in Texas but no matter what I do I can’t seem to find a spot any suggestions on what I should do?
Be patient. Offer to help the land owners/farmers/ranchers with whatever they may need. Treat their land good by taking care of it If you keep it up and keep a good attitude you’ll soon have more land than you can hunt.
@@HickoryFlatBoars thank you so much!!
FANTASTIC JOB🤝🤝BRAVO!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Great shooting I got to old so eyes aren’t as good when I was younger I wish I could have been part of that they are a menace to crops and their over running everywhere awesome video
Thanks for the comments. I imagine you would of had a blast.
Some nice lead shots in there.
That was awesome 😎
Thanks!
What caliber rifle are you using?
Some 7.62x39 and some .223
Rather than leaving them to decompose, is it possible to eat the meat? Or is it bad?
You could eat the meat if you wanted. They do carry a lot of diseases though so you’d have to make sure to cooked it properly.
the smaller ones but not the big ones
Nice video.
Just wondering how do u dispose of the hogs? Just leave em there to decompose?
Most of the time we do.
@@HickoryFlatBoarsI thought most Went to a slaughter house to be, made into pet food??!!!
The lead in the bullets doesn't decompose.
@@HickoryFlatBoars I imagine there are enough small carnivores, birds of prey etc. to do the job. Good for those populations. Too bad a few more apex predators couldn't help out with the pigs.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329wrapped in copper
Great shooting, what kind of gun and ammo
KS47 7.62x39 and some .223
What do you do with the dead animals
Doing God's work. Thank you!
@1:28 "hey man! I felt the breeze on that one!" -cow
No joke!
as a matter of curiosity.. does someone collect the hogs that are killed or are they left for mother nature to claim them?
We give them away when we have people to take them. Mostly they are left for the wildlife though.
@@HickoryFlatBoars if they are eating oats , corn and other crops their meat may be better quality than what's sold in grocery stores
they'd be a great protein source for soup kitchens and other hungry people
I was thinking about that. That’s a lot of bacon to pass
These are wild hogs. Some are mixed with domestic pigs. That said they taste gamey and stink. Most are also full of worms. These hogs are very destructive here in Texas, tearing up crops and destroying native habitat that other small game animals need to survive. @@Whatta33
This little piggy went to market. This little piggy went straight to hell LOL.
Lmao. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
What happens to all the carcasses?
They feed the wildlife. Thanks for watching.
*RED CROSSHAIRS you are amazing. SNIPER GRADE!*
it looks like so much fun⚛😀
are u eating them after?
These sport shooters are good guardians of agriculture.
When the weather gets cold I want to go hog hunting.
I wonder if a commercial fish food company could organize processing the feral animals, and create a secondary income for farmers, and new supply for commercial fish feed. I think the fish are immune to just about all those diseases, could be an angle, as well, plant food manufacturers. Just a thought.
What's the average distance of engagement?
148,000 ft/yds
Perfect 🙌 👏 👍 💪
Thanks
LOL, 0:57 mark, that Deer just watching....like yeah it's pig season.
Tremendous shooting skills in this video! Pig Carnage, U.S.A.
Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Increduable long distance shooting!
Great job there.
Thanks and thanks for the view.
Outstanding family entertainment!
Do you eat them?
Teaching pigs how to do front flips, I love it
Yes sir!
4:21 - the curious case of the disappearing pigs - nice shooting.
Not really sure what happened. About to shoot and they just laid down. 😂 thanks for the view and comment.
Burt Gummer would be proud of you guys!
Nice shooting!
Love the thud
We do too. Thanks for the comment and view. We appreciate it.
man i miss this no lie
Triple salvo in the pike position.
I like when you hit some and they spin in that circle. Must have hit that hip or something. Those types and when they drag their hind legs after getting hit. Either way, these Texas Rhinos have to go. Will we EVER get rid of these things or anywhere close?
At the rate we're going now? Maybe by the end of the century.
Complete extinction? Not a chance.
Which means down from a population high of 6 to 9 million, if we reduced it to 10% of that, it would still be a modest industry needing several thousand people to moderate.
Ya'll have gotten me to where I've become a "thwack-addict" lol.
Nice!
Whenever 'm feeling down and sad about the world, I watch hog killin' videos.
Quite satisfying - if you do a bit of reading (Like good old Texas boy Jim Hightower) and bone up on the good information. Farmer and rancher friendly.
Understanding what they're up against, and how much this collection of vermin costs American agriculturists annually - gorging on the grain, the plants, crops, everything they plant. Free lunch from piglet to boar.
So the elimination game is payback due.
These pigs are not "natural" indigenous wildlife. They are an artificially introduced population (going back 500 years) from Spaniards wandering around what was to become Texas, looking for their El Dorado (city of gold) which they never found.
The ancestors of wild boars were domestic pigs brought from Spain.
Six to nine million pigs. That's a lot of rootin' tootin' shootin'.
Target practice for one and all. But notice how the professionals keep the hazards under control.
I get sick and tired of the "is there a more humane way to do this?" crowd.
I want to tell them all, 160 families of pigs just ate their way through $50 thousand worth of your bank account. How does that make you feel? Humane?
I Enjoy these ! retired and I envy your eyesight and Success on this Mission .
Thanks for watching and for commenting.
And they say DISNEYLAND is the happiest place on earth.
Nice
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I love the way those piglets splatter
something wrong with you
Love how they just flop down and start kicking!😂 Great shooting guys!
Yeah, that really tickles my funny bone....
you're clearly a sick person but it's not too late to get some help
epic shooting bro
Pretty awesome!! Bastards need to be eliminated!! Thanks for helping with that!!!!
Thanks Amy
A Brit here, so please excuse the question: are these wild boars considered pests, and that's why they're being culled?
Correct
I believe they are feral hogs that do much destruction to the crops here in the states, and i cant believe what a problem they've become. I see lots of videos like this.
There’s tens of thousands of them at minimum in just Texas
You guys always put out great footage all the time........I know you all are PROFESSIONALS HOGS TREMINATORS ..but what happen if a bullet ROCOCHET and ACCIDENTLY killed a cow , do you have to pay the farm owner for the damage ? if you do have to pay.....you got to KEEP the BEEF ? how these thing gets settle if it DOES HAPPEN...?
The shooting around the cattle like in this videos is mainly done by one person and it’s his family cattle. The guy that owns the cattle gets hit for 10s of thousands of dollars a year in feed that the pigs eat. He’s told the shooter to kill the pigs however he can.
Thanks for the comment and view by the way. We appreciate you and others taking the time to watch our content.
@@HickoryFlatBoars I think a lot of our bleeding heart supposedly animal loving libs need to read, hear, and understand your comment. "The guy that owns the cattle gets hit for tens of thousands of dollars a year in feed that the pigs eat."
This is what city armchair sitters don't get, don't see, don't understand.
The economics of the thing. Obviously a farmer/rancher can't afford to take this hit. He is not ranching to preserve a wild boar population. Meat on the hoof from an average steer would out-sell that same weight of wild pork by a factor of what?
In a way I guess, you could compare this to a rat infestation getting into a grain storage silo. Nobody would question that.
My profound respect for all farmers, ranchers and agriculturists fighting this problem. I wish y'all had better governmental support. But not surprised your best methods are probably of your own design. All the best.
Just a thought, would it be ok if apex predators like mountain lions are brought in to control the hog problem in Texas?
Apex predators existed way back when the Spaniards casually allowed some of their pigs (brought from Europe) to go feral.
So the mountain lions, bears, wolves and coyotes of the southwest had free range.
This started 500 years ago (early to mid 1500s.)
It appear that a few things didn't work. Wild pork may not have been to their taste. Their numbers almost immediately couldn't keep up with the supply. The pigs got smart, mean, and large - fighting back. And they of course, over-bred.
Also - a substantial portion of this population now may be diseased.
And finally. Ranchers and farmers with real populations of domestic stock (cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry) might not trust an apex predator to leave their stock alone and go after the wild hogs only.
it might never get under control
Where do these pigs hide out to breed in such large numbers?
Well that's the thing. All over the place.
Their range goes across the south from California to Florida - solid.
Scatterings up north.
They have a lot of land (farmland, forest) to hide out in to procreate two, two and a half times a year - 10-15 piglets per litter if the land is giving them good feed.
They eat anything. Especially grain crops.
American agriculture has been good to them. Never a time of famine.
They were, and are, amazing opportunists. Blessed by circumstance.
If they were, let's say, a "protected" species - we'd be doubling our pig population probably every half dozen years. Pretty scary thing to contemplate.
It is no lie that they cost American agriculture multiple billions of dollars in damage per year. That comes directly out of farmer/rancher pockets.
And it comes out of ours too, indirectly at the supermarket cash checkout.
You do good work. 😊😊@@burleybater
How can I join the gang 😊
Sorry
Did you count them?
The 130?
@@HickoryFlatBoars I think 131
The Government should put a $5 bounty on feral hogs. If people could make a living doing it the problem would be solved in five years or less.
Lőni mikor tanultok meg? :D
Not sure that we ever learned to shoot. As you can tell from our videos 🤣. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
👍
Thanks
Are these edible for humans ?
Not generally.
Two things needed to hunt these hogs. Silencers and full auto rifles. Or claymores.
We agree. Thanks for watching.
130 Hogs down and not even a drop in the bucket for what's out there.
Awesome video 👍
Thanks
Boritos for everyone!
Yes!
Удивительно. Мы в России наоборот пытаемся вырастить поголовье, очень много прикармливается зверя. Я думаю наши охотничьи хозяйства были бы рады, еслиб им прислали живьём несколько таких стад))) У нас за охоту на кабана охотник платит около 200$ за одного зверя. А у вас наоборот))) Какой калибр используете?
There are a lot of people here that charge to kill the pigs. We are just fortunate enough where we have lots of places we don’t have to pay. Does your country not have a bad problem with them? Where shoot the 7.62x39 mostly.
@@HickoryFlatBoars У нас в России проблем с кабанами нет, бывают случаи, когда свиньи придут в огород к людям, но эти случаи редкие. Я живу в Санкт-Петербурге, у нас лося в два раза больше чем кабана. Очень много аварий на дорогах происходит из-за выхода лосей на трассы. У нас 80 процентов охотников стреляет кабанов и лосей из 308win и 30-06. Хотя лет 20 назад, очень много людей охотилось с СКС 7,62х39.
I live in Texas these nuisances arw coming further and further into the city, and they do damage
bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang………”Got him!”
whatever the numbers shot down in this video, what is needed to reduce the hogs numbers is no less than 100 times the number of shooters and their choppers- same way dozens of new choppers and enough gunners flying .
Sadly, yes. It's like whack-a-mole.
I was fully expecting to hear “do it”
Im curious, are silencers illegal there? Well done, great shooting. Keep them things from spreading!
They are legal.
@@HickoryFlatBoars How do you get past ATF regs on silencers its pretty strict
In Texas?? I'm surprised they're not in vending machines.
Some of these guys need to learn how to lead a running target
GOOD JOB!!!
Thanks and thanks for the comment
Du idiot!
TOTAL PIGGER DEATH RAAAAAHHHHHH
Do the farmers sell the meat from the hogs or just destroy them in a fire 🤷♂️
Most of the time it’s left to feed the wildlife.
now thats makin bacon
