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

(12,530 posts)And yes, Ted, I do hate you more based on this story.

(12,530 posts)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?

(49,445 posts)...not a hell of a lot happens, now does it?
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.
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)in more places. If one is armed up, they are unregulated milita as far as I am concerned (as little as that may mean).

And then theres their enablers like Wayne LaPrick and Dickhead Cheney.... feeding their delusions and paranoia for a quick buck.

(53,056 posts)Hunting is a fine, respectable way of acquiring food. But mass slaughter is just disgusting.
krispos42
(49,445 posts)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.

(53,056 posts)hunting from mass slaughter, which is what Nugent is doing.
krispos42
(49,445 posts)... 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!

(49,445 posts)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.

(53,056 posts)for food, but a bunch of people down thread are saying they need to be exterminated.
krispos42
(49,445 posts)And I'm certainly not going to emigrate to Italy, Germany, England, or a Cherokee reservation.
So you regulate it as needed for sport hunting. Institute a season, expand or contract it as needed. Issue tags, if needed.
BainsBane
(53,056 posts)The Department of Natural Resources monitors game populations and issues permits. The most controversial move lately is wolf hunts. I can't get my head around that one.

(70,578 posts)... kill 'em all. Although I really doubt Ted's story of being able to recover all the
dead pigs in order to give the meat to the needy.
BTW April is coming up soon and Ted better get busy with his in jail or being dead

(794 posts)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?
Why do Teabaggers hate America?

This would definitely be on the news.

(25,545 posts)There is some reality show about Texas hog hunters. It is not easy work. I would think a pack of 20 per day is about the max. They use hounds to locate the packs of hogs.
