#1 They are a growing problem in southern states so much so the season in some states for hunting wild hogs is year round with unlimited harvesting.

Trap live hogs. Secretly send them to secret campus republican farms in Caliponia. At the next right wing speeker invite, let em loose against feral rioters. Feral meets Feral. Post video on youtube.

#2 Tracking Point

#3 the new law is insidious. It allows casual firearms transfers between family members, but only one way. Giving the firearm back triggers a background check requirement.

It strikes me the law in unenforceable. It also increases crime because it makes criminals out of law-abiding citizens. It seems like a back-door attempt to register all firearms.

#4 Skidmark, Tracking Point. Very neat set up with the Linux-hunting rifle. Makes everyone a "One-shot one kill sniper." Now, if there were a "smart bullet" that tracked the target and made adjustments as necessary...(I dunno, know maybe there is).

#5 Smart Bullets

#6 Best advice for hunting feral hogs:

Get the biggest caliber you and find and the largest grain bullet you can buy and never shoot between the eyes...side shots, aim between ear and eye...a heart or lung shot just means a mad pig for several minutes...

#7 We use thermals at wrecks to quickly, effectively search the roadside to see if someone was thrown, or if delirious and walked into the field we can see the heat signature of the foot prints.

Unless someone told me otherwise, I'd go goggles and open sight so I can look around. I would also then have a set of goggles for other nighttime activities. Looks like gen 1 is fairly affordable, gen 2 is a few bucks, and gen 3 gets up there.

Thermals are still a few bucks for a decent set but I think the technology will improve the quality and price over the next couple years. Our new service camera cost less then our last one, and can broadcast the image to a remote viewing.
