This gentleman uses high tech gear to capture multiple feral hogs. His wife is in the video surveillance biz,
so when he sought to put this business together, he was halfway home with the concept.

He has captured up to 32 hogs in one night.

He operates this as a side biz to his day job and will take jobs within 150 miles of Austin.

Great ... and now all the libtards in Austin will EXPECT everyone to take these extraordinary measures in the war on hogs. There will be a save-the-piggies ban on shooting hogs bill in next Legislative session

That's ok. We can just turn them loose in a liberal's back yard, and then he can pay us to come kill them. "What's that? You want me to capture them and relocate them? No. I'm a hunter and I eradicate vermin. They're just giant rats, and they don't care how you feel about them. They will eat your butt for lunch and pick their teeth with your bones. If you don't want to kill them, then you'll just have to live with them. Good luck with that."

Austinites :smilelol5: "rlol"
I was thinking they SHOULD love how "green" this is ... less helicopter fuel flying over that pen "rlol"
Now, if they could train those to eat plastic bags, they wouldn't let them be shot.

Maybe they'll skip over the part where he says he takes them to a processor to be turned into bacon!

Mmmmmmm bacon. :drool: :drool:

' Had a lady out for CHL renewal class last year who does something similar, at least for personal and family use. She is in the robotics biz and has game cameras set up at hunting lease that send photos to her cell phone. She said her 3 brothers love it when she comes to the hunting camp, that she can just pull out the electronics and upon demand, tell em where the big deer or hogs are. Or tell 'em where to avoid, because SHE is going to hunt there next. ;-)

Do the math. That guys catches 30 hogs at a time and it's about $20k in his pocket. Lots of that meat going to China, which means those Chinese frozen pork egg rolls you're getting are... well, you get the idea "rlol"

I did the math before. And think if the guy has caught 450 hogs and got them to the processor in the past 9 months, even $20K is a WHOLE bunch of work - and risk - for not all that much dinero. Either way, good riddance.
