#1 Someone sitting behind me with his knees in the breeze firing an AR.....? Uhhhh, no thanks. I believe I've got a colonoscopy that day. If not, I'm scheduling one.

#2 That's 12.5 dead hogs per flight, including "machine guns". Not what I'd call 'mowing them down'.

#4 The total U.S. population of the hogs is estimated at more than 6 million, and state and federal government officials are increasing efforts to rid themselves of the pesky animals.

Make it a repeat 'secret' ingredient on Chopped.

#8 Very tasty, Raj, very tasty. had some just last summer. 3 Feral hogs went after my neighbor. He had an AR-15 and dropped all 3. We dug a pit with his backhoe and spent a great evening, night, and next day butchering and cooking them along with consuming mass quantities of beer. We fed around 50 people.

#10  drones vs. feral hogs

Howsabout roving autonomous blimps, armed with miniguns, on a search and destroy mission? They also have live video feed and drop a beacon to mark a kill for easy retrieval.
