Ted Nugent brags about killing over 400 pigs with a machine gun.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/11/ted-nugent-kills-pigs-bill-maher-animal-freaks_n_2852302.html

Ted Nugent is bragging about killing over 400 wild pigs, a kill he dedicates to Bill Maher and other "animal rights freaks."

While talking with SiriusXM's Brett Winterble, Nugent claimed he killed 455 wild pigs with his machine gun in a Texas field last weekend, according to RumorFix.

“I took my machine gun in the helicopter -- in the Texas hill country -- me and my buddy ‘Pigman.' His name is ‘Pigman’; I’m the swine czar. I killed 455 hogs with my machine gun. I did it for Bill Maher and all those other animal rights freaks out there," he told Winterble, according to RumorFix. "My haters will hate me more for that."

Nugent, who claims he fired off 750 rounds a minute, says it was all for the common good since wild pigs destroy the region's natural habitat, RumorFix reports. After the kill, the 64-year-old gun-crazed rocker said he gave the meat to the needy. “We distributed tons of the most delicious pork to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of this state. Everything we did was perfect – win, win, win," he added. “I had to adjust my halo as I was machine-gunning hogs.”

I'm sure someone knows the average weight, in usable meat, that an average wild pig yields. Multiply that by 400 and that should give us the rough tonnage of meat that went to local shelters and soup kitchens. We should be reading stories about multiple grateful soup kitchen operators who have enough meat to last all year.

Where are these stories?

Not that I'm endorsing shooting wild boars from helicopters, but you have to accept the fact that you're more likely die in a pool than killed with a dreaded AR-15.

Squawk all you want about militiamen running around in the woods with AR-15s, they're not the ones murdering people.

It's target practice. Who the hell organizes this kind of thing anyway?


I don't care if he uses an AR-15 or whatever. But be on the ground. Show some skill with tracking and moving through the brush. Try your damndest for "one shot, one kill". And gut what you kill.

What the hell was he doing, spraying bullets into bushes and such?


He chickened out during Vietnam, and he's been trying to make up for it ever since, the coward.

... they're destructive and breed like rabbits, so they're getting to be a big problem.


And the meat was saved and consumed... free-range, natural meat. That's all well and good.


But for pete's sake, raining gunfire down from a helicopter is NOT HUMANE. 1 shot, 1 kill. Not spraying bullets into a tree line and leaving wounded, suffering animals all over the place!

They're also big and strong, so they're a bit dangerous to hunt. The farmers and ranchers don't like them. And, of course, if you shoot one you can get a year's supply of delicious, delicious pork products.

Some people think hunting them is more challenging then hunting deer... they like to reside in thick, close cover. Hard to find, hard to shoot. And your shot has to be a good one; they don't bleed very much, so they don't leave much of a blood trail, and they can easily vanish into the brush.

So you regulate it as needed for sport hunting. Institute a season, expand or contract it as needed. Issue tags, if needed.

Serial poaching is only one among the many cowardly actions of Mr. Nugent.
How does a poacher have the right to hunt? Isnt there a law on the books that prevents poachers from hunting?

Why do NRA advocates think gun rights for pedophiles, wife beaters and drunkin drivers are so important?
