What... Do you have a problem hunting hogs from 30,000 feet??

30,000 feet isn't the problem; 500mph is!! (Along with the near lack of oxygen )

Bah! A real hunter would hold his breath, and adjust for windage!

I'm not interested in killing for the sake of killing. Realize these things are a huge problem down here but I really really like bacon.

I agree that the meat is tastier than venison, but feral hogs are a real agricultural problem. No landowner would go to the expense of shooting hogs from a helicopter unless it was economically beneficial. [Translation: Hogs do a lot of damage, and the cost of the helicopter shooting is cheaper than letting the hogs go unchecked] I don't really like the waste of meat, but when I catch a rat or mouse in a trap I don't eat them either.

A real hunter would get closer. It's poor souls with no skill for stalking game that have to take long shots.

It's really tough to stalk prey at 30000 ft traveling at 500 MPH!

If you can do it -- YOU 'DA MAN!!!

They weren't at 30000 ft. And it was the equivalent of hunting fish with dynamite.
